It is inaccurate to say that there is no other information published on it. It is also said to be a gun destroyer, the same type as the ship that would be rebuilt as the SDF-1 Macross. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/

The idea that the 'Pheyos Valkyrie' has Brain Control System was something that Dave Deitrich made up and it not true. Nor was it designated the Fz-150. There is no such thing as an Fz-150. The Fz prefrix was used by the Varuata/Protodeviln for their fighters. The proper/officiial identification for the 'Pheyos Valkyre' is simply "Variable Machine" and it is a hostile Zjentohlauedy design. It is inaccurate to say that it is official. "Variable Machine" was a preliminary name for the mecha, despite what has been written. The official name for its debut in Macross Digital Mission VF-X is Variable Device. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/zentrad...ariable_device/

And what is it? You're not making this up, right? No. I don't make things up. Its in the numbers. http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat...le_machine.html The original poster was asking about power and efficiency. The Macross creators do not state "in numbers" that the Zentradi Variable Device "can 'beat' the VF-19 and VF-22" in power or efficiency. They only gave observed atmospheric speeds and empty mass statistics, and deliberately did not specify the thrust and combat mass statistics. As David Hingtgen noted, thrust/weight ratio is an ideal indicator of an aircraft's power in air combat maneuvers. That is why the Macross creators deliberately couched their own specifications to say the Variable Device's capabilities "appears" to "approach" or "exceed" the other variable aircraft's -- but not give statistics to definitively state it can "beat" them in power or efficiency. For accurate, official statistics on the Zentradi Variable Device, please see the following: http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/zentrad...ariable_device/
