Related Matter: The Battle-suits In The Movie
Designs that differed from the real aircraft were applied to such things as the VF-1 colourings and similar Zentraadi Mobile Weapons, in the movie "Do You Remember Love?", which was released in 2031*,

* Translator's note: "which was released in 2031" was added in the revised edition.

Right: Nuujaderu Gaa
Although the forms of the armaments resemble those of the original, the shapes are partially different, such as a camera eye that's an isomorph to that in the Battle Pods, and the foot-ankle assemble, whose contact patch is only the tiptoes and heels.

Caption: [Ai] The Quadoran-Roh that were depicted in the movie are the same type as the aircraft in the Kurore Fleet, that the Macross 7 Fleet encountered.

Caption: [Ai] There's also a scene where Maximilian Jiinasu, who was made into a giant, boards a Meltrandi Quadoran-Roh.

Related Matter: The Zentraadi Armaments Used By The Earth Side
After the First Interstellar War, there were those among the Zentraadi who participated in the Unified Forces as-is, in giant size. The Unified Forces conducted Battle Pod production increases and Battle-suit improvements for them.

Caption: Immediately after the First Interstellar War, the Unified Forces seized a Rigaado Battle Pod Automatic Factory Satellite with the goal of expanding their combat capabilities.

Right: Quadoran-Rhea
A performance improved type of Quadoran-Roh, which is used by the New Unified Forces and S.M.S.. All of its performance, such as its offensive and defensive capabilities and manoeuvrability, have been improved.

Caption: The aircraft of the New Unified Forces 33rd Marine Force.

Related Matter: The Zentraadi Transport And Collection Craft
Even though the Zentraadi had a weak concept of repairing, they collected and transported armaments after the end of battle. For that reason, they possess equipment for collection and transportation.

Caption: As the Battle Pods have limited atmospheric escape abilities, they were used jointly with the Large Decent Pods in planet decent operations.

Right: Large Decent Pod
The transport craft is able to reenter and escape the atmosphere as-is after being loaded with several Battle Pods.

Left: Collection Craft
An aircraft for salvage operations in space. It is equipped with a total of four arms, including the ones that are retracted.
