You know, the Global cannot be the Macross-04, because that designation belongs to the New Macross Class vessels. I don't know why I didn't remember that.
Because the plot is silly and the characters are kinda lame. But the emulators idea is kinda cool, and there are some pretty sweet mecha designs to be seen.
All that said, Kawamori has done him damnedest to work II concepts into the franchise.
Ugh, I don't want a retelling. They cut out so much of the story as it is to cram it into 25 episodes. You cut anything more, and its just a mecha-fest.
Tell me I am seeing things:
Super Dimension Fortress Megaroad-01 SDF-002
Super Dimension Fortress Megaroad-02 SDF-003
Super Dimension Fortress Megaroad-04 SDF-005
Super Dimension Fortress Megaroad-06 SDF-007
Super Dimension Fortress Megaroad-09 SDF-010
Super Dimension Fortress Megaroad-13 SDF-014
The Protoculture admired, and perhaps even worshiped the Vajra. The APHOS was built to resemble the Vajra queen. Made in her image, so to speak. You'll see when the subs come out.
