Not necessarily Macross, but connected to Robotech. The character of Rick Hunter (everyone's favorite Hikaru Ichijyo) shares the name of 'Rick Hunter' (played by Fred Dryer) from the 1980s cop show 'Hunter'.

Not a Macross reference but more one for Mospeada or Robotech: The New Generation. The Star trek: The Next Generation Episode 169 (Hollow Pursuits), there was a reference to a rare isotope called INVIDIUM. This highly reactive substance was used in medical containment fields in the 23rd century.

In M2, Sylvie Geena told Hibiki Kanzaki that her incredible piloting skills were inherited from her Meltrandi mother. Given the surname of 'Geena' and the reference to a Meltrandi mother, this could be a node to the idea that Max and Milia Jenius are her grandparents. Imagine if you will, the possibiliy to connect it to Macross 7. Max and Milia had seven daughters, each of whom are half human/half Meltrandi. If any of these daughters had a child with a human male, the resultant child would be quarter-Meltrandi. Now the youngest daughter of Max and Milia is, of course, Mylene Flare Jenius, aspiring rock star and member of Fire Bomber. She proved herself a great pilot (definately her mother's daughter) during the Varauta War. She was born in 2031 when her mother was 37 years old. Silvie herself was born in 2072. She would go on to become a noted ace of Fairie Squadron during the Marduk War of 2089. Imagine this possibilty. After the events of the Varauta War, Mylene Jenius would of course still continue with her musician career, both with Fire Bomber and solo. Afte several years, she ultimately decided to withdraw from the public eye, and accepted the proposals of the young pilot with whom her mother had been trying to set her up with for all these years, Gamlin Kizaki. Mylene, ever the independant thinker, would insist on keeping her maiden name. In time, the two would have a daughter, as would tend to be the established family tradition. In the year 2072, when Gamlin and Mylene were the ages of 46 and 41, respectively, they would have a daughter whom they named Sylvie. As she grew older, young Silvie would show an aptitude for flying, as inherited from her father and maternal grandparents. In time, she would join the UN Spacy, but would insist upon using a variation of her mother's maiden name, 'Geena', rather than either parents surnames so that she will not be seen as the daughter of the heroes of the Varauta War, but as a pilot in her own right. She would prove her skills, partially as a result of her Meltrandi heritage, and become the commander of Fairie Squadron. She would also be instrumental in the events of the Marduk War in 2089.

As every Macross fan knows, the series 'Super Dimension Fortress Macross' was the original Macross series produced back in 1982. It would serve to spawn several sequels, prequels, side-stories, OAVs and alternative series. The original series was set during the years 2009 to 2012. The first sequel to be produced that encompassed the next generation of Macross characters was Macross II: Lovers Again in 1992. It occurred eighty years after the original series, set in 2089. It involved a new generation of Earth defending their world against another group of Zentraedi. The next major sequels were Macross Plus and Macross 7, both released in 1994. These series were set in 2040 and 2045-2046 respectively. They also encompassed a new generation of Earth some three decades after the original series. Macross 7 also had characters from the original series as well (Exedor, Max, Milia, etc.) and soon became regarded as the direct sequel to Macross. Macross II soon became relegated to the status of occurring within a 'parallel universe' or being non-canon with regards to the 'core continuity' of the Macross universe. The purpose of this thread is to discuss the possibilities of the far future of Macross II (2089) occurring within the same universe as Macross 7 (2045), only some four decades later. I understand that they do not actually so-exist within the same world, and there is some contention with some fans about those who make those assertions. This is meant as a forum for hypothetical discussions about a conjectural possibility of the future of Macross II co-existing with Macross 7. I would hope for some intelligent and informative observations and opinions on how the events of both worlds may co-exist, and plausible discussions of how the four decade gap may be filled. I hope tht this can be both an entertaining and enjoyable project for everyone. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on how to hypothetically bridge the two worlds? The evolution of technology, what vehicles are descended from what earlier vehicles, who is the potential child or grandchild of who?

Here is a preproduction sketch of Robotech Invasion #5 by WildStorm Comics. Check out the YF-19 underneath the Alpha.

I don't think the first image uploaded, so here it is again !!

The was a VF-1 briefly seen in the animated series 'Home Movies' by Brendan Small. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0197159/ In a second season episode, the characters participate in a renaissance fair, but Trekkies from a nearby sci fi convention crash the party, and mayhem breaks loose as its Dwarves vs Borg vs Volton vs Merlin!!! It was hilarious!!! During the fight scene near the end, just as the camera faded into the next scene, a Valkyrie was seen in Gerwalk mode.

And here is the entire page.

Here is a pic from another thread, showing a Minmei image connected to an article about Genesis Climber Mospeada.

Here is an RPG adaptation of the mecha. The stats seem sound, although the history may need a rewrite as to its references to the Macross 7 era (Macross II is in a 'parallel universe'). http://www.geocities.com/macross2090/nemesis.html

The comic Macross II: The Micron Conspiracy by Viz comics, and was actually produced completely in America. May be the only Macross series exclusively made for an American audience.

They are from the Robotech Roleplaying Game Book 1. This was the only time I could ever find a good pic of the front and rear profiles of the Armor VF-1. Hope these are what you are looking for. Enjoy!!

Found a new mecha from the comic series Macross II: The Micron Conspiracy published by Viz Comics. The story was written by James D. Hudnall and drawn by Schuloff Tam. The name of the mecha is uncertain, I have heard it referred to as the 'Nemesis'. The story occurs in 2090, a year after the vents of Macross II: Lovers Again. The United Nations Resistance (UNR, the later version of the Anti-United Nations) took over Mechtech, a mecha production facility. They began production of a new variable fighter, the 'Nemesis', using overtechnology stolen from the Macross. The mecha was the equivalent to the Metal Siren in capability, and had advanced stealth and communication decryption systems. The UNR attempted a coupe to take over the UN government, but their plans were exposed by Hibiki Kanzaki, Sylvie Geena and Zara, a rogue Meltran pilot.

Would anyone have images that depict the transformation sequence of the VB-6 Koenig Monster?

There was a thread on here a few months ago that had several large and beautiful illustration pages depicting the transformational process of the VB-6 Koenig Monster. I have tried searching for it with no success. I was wondering if anyone had the link to that thread?

The new link is: http://www.geocities.jp/j02i924/page228.html

This is not entirely Macross, but rather Genesis Climber MOSPEADA. Apparently in the 1980s, the creators of the GoBots toy line created a series of Imai/Monogram models, two of which were based upon the AHC-01 Legioss/Alpha, as the jet fighter character LEADER-1, and the VR-041 Blowsperior/Saber, as the motorctcle character CY-KILL. http://www.menet.umn.edu/~ngo/leader-1.html http://www.menet.umn.edu/~ngo/cykill.html
