CHAPTER 4

One interesting problem during the progression of the story was the timing of advancement from early-era RDF uniforms. An attentive reader may notice that both Roy and Claudia's uniform details have changed by the next chapter. However, during research of the original series, it was noted that Roy's uniform changed in the middle of a hangar scene during the TV episode "A Rainy Night."


Roy's undergoes a costume change...in the same scene!



CHAPTER 5
The hospital where Roy is recovering is the same one that is transplanted aboard the SDF-1 years later for Rick himself to recuperate in.

With Leonard's eventual connection to the "Super Dimension Cavalry," it makes sense that he would oversee the development of the first mecha-based armored cavalry of Destroids. The prototype MBR-04 is bears a special paint scheme designed to obscure its geometric form from covert surveillance.

For the final showdown between Roy and the Anti-Unification league, Roy commandeers the new fully-transformable YF-1S prototype that will end up becoming his very own "Skull One." This Veritech is also equipped with a combination of prototype booster stages that include elements of the Super-Veritech armor seen in "Force of Arms" and orbital boosters seen in "Viva Miriya."

CHAPTER 6
Though the Reflex Warhead represents the latest advancements in weapons of mass destruction, they are only barely useful against the formidable Zentraedi Armada.

The epilogue in which we return to "present day 2015" with Captain Rick Hunter had to be somewhat shortened for space. The unusual aircraft seen in the distant background is actually a VF-X-6 Genia (Greek for "Generation") prototype that is being field tested by Max Sterling under observation by Dr. Emil Lang and Dr. Miles Cochrane. Unfortunately, due to its staggering cost and complexity, the YF-4 prototype ends up being superseded by the smaller, more maneuverable VF-X-6, the precursor of the VF/A-6 Alpha Fighter.

Lisa Hayes is seen wearing a female flag officer's uniform that was originally designed for the Macross TV series, but was not seen in Robotech comics until the final issue of The Macross Saga in 1989.

Note that with a proper retrofit of Robotechnology, a Fokker D-7 biplane can easily keep up with a supersonic jet fighter. ; )
