If anyone's wondering, I've thought up a Macross equivalent for the errors:
It'd be a Milia VF-1J----if they gave it a DYRL-style cockpit, DYRL-style armor (which can't be removed), and twin strike cannons (which can't be removed), and a male pilot wearing an Ex-Gear. Yeah, it's the right type of VF-1, a J model, but every other physical/molded detail which could be wrong, is, and it messes with the timeline.
