[The General]

I can see the Macross fans didn't accept the Macross II series as part of canon timeline for it. But when I first saw in 1999, I thought if things were different if they could use the other micronians(Zentradi vocabulary) against the humans after their bitter 1st defeat for third and final offensive with conjuction with the remaining Zentradi diehards. Then Rick or Hariku and rest of the gang will have a real fight and Minmay will have to work harder against her alien counterparts on who has the better version of protoculture. Also seeing the SDF-1 being shot down after the 2040 incident with that automated singer, Apple.

As for Macross Zero, it was excellent compliment to both the Macross series and to Robotech. Because it gives more details of Roy's past love life that gives that reason of why he had never propose to Claudia. It shows more details about the Anti-Global group, their Veritech fighters, personal motives on some their soldiers(UN in that scene has alot reexamining their house-to-house tactics). The sad thing is that the female native priestess should have some clairvoyance ability to see the threats of the Zentradi invasion, Robotech Masters and Invids (in the Robotech timeline), and those other micronians(Macross II) that she should gave the humans very restricted access to the alien artifact.
