Haha. That's Rick Hunter's new name, Mr. MacGuffin. I guess he's more relevant if you've read the novels or the Sentinels comics right? I mean he gets to be a main character and not perpetually off screen like in the show itself.
Isn't it all pretty meaningless anyways? Resources are totally irrelevant to Macross's plot so there's not much setup to be had there. In Southern Cross the Protozor is what makes the Zor's society work even though it has little to do with the spiffy robots and pew pew lasers. For Mospeada the HBT is mostly a plot device for why the crew isn't flying their surprisingly well maintained airplanes everywhere. Where's the fuss coming from?
