Related Matter: VF-3000B Bomber Valkyrie
A bomber specification aircraft variant of the VF-3000, furnished with a tail that combines the horizontal and vertical stabilizers in the rear of the aircraft. [Source: Advanced Valkyrie]

Right: Bomber Mode
Even though an impression of the VF-3000 is left in the cockpit block and the front part of the fuselage, the nose has grown into a long, sharp form.

Left: Battroid Mode
Horizontal binocular type TV eyes are the feature of Battroid form. The structure of the forearms and legs differs from that of the VF-3000, and its externals give a slimmer impression.
