I've recently been inspired to dust off my Robotech collection and have a go at some fan fiction perhaps. In the process of reviewing the show, movie, and other segways (Sentinels video and novels etc), I had a few questions I am hoping you folks can help me with.
Now, I am flexible when it comes to "canon". I can accept the McKinley novelizations as easily as the Academy Comics and so on. TSC is good too for my purposes, and I am willing to entertain ideas from Battlecry and Invasion too. So feel free to offer differing explanations where applicable, and feel free to get technical. I don't need on-screen evidence so much as plausibility or precedence.
1) What is the life expectancy of a Zentradi?
1b) Does this expectancy change if they are micronized vs full scale?
2) Outside of Breetai, Exedore, Dana, Maia and Miriya, do we have any examples of Zentradi/descended characters within any of the further stories?
2b) Were Zentradi welcomed (or at least allowed to join) in the REF and/or ASC (Beyond the above mentioned characters)?
3) What are the most accepted dates for the Invid Occupation? I have had several different ranges given, and I am looking for the fan consensus.
4) Is "Venus Division" an accepted name for the 1st Reclamation force during the 3rd, or do we have another name for them?
4b) Was Jonathan Wolfe considered commander of or part of the 1st wave, or is his arrival (Before the Storm) separate?
5) How much ASC equipment would still be around by the time of the Mars Division Disaster? Would it be conceivable that freedom fighters could have access to Sparta Hovertanks, AGACS, or Battleoids that they had salvaged?
5b) What is the proper name for the ASC's heli-veritech? I've seen it called AJAKS, AGACS, Aurora, Ajax, and several other names. What is it's proper designation?
6) Geographically, Reflex Point covers the Great Lakes region, but where was New Macross City and Monument City? Within the same region or elsewhere?
7) Did the Invid employ slave labor camps to harvest FoL, or did they do so themselves?
7b) Anyone have a good reference pic(s) of the FoL?
8b) What about Tail art?
9) (Technical question) What is the total missile payload of a standard VF/A-6z, without rearming?
9b) of a Beta?
9c) Do we have fuel consumption data on them?
10) Where is Space Station Liberty situated in relation to Earth and Tirol?
10b) As of the 3rd War, what is the condition and location of the Factory Satellite?
11) IIRC, the Zentradi and Invid had fought for sometime prior to the events of 1999. Do we have any details on this conflict other than it resulted in the death of Zor and the razing of Optera?
12) Is there an exact date for the Battle of Reflex Point ever given?
13) Is there an estimate of what percentage of Invid received the evolutionary treatment that resulted in Sera and Korg?
14) What is the current status of Robotech:The Movie (Megazone 23 version) within Canon? Are Hargun type mecha fair game or off limits?
15)Resources: I need some of the following, if possible:
-Detailing on the labeling of various mecha
-Ship names (Mainly 3rd war era)
-Clean line art of various mecha (Chiefly Alphas and Betas)
-Uniform references (REF and ASC, but Others welcome too)
And one last one that bugged me...
X) How/Why does Scott's group come across from South America, eventually to Denver, then go AROUND Reflex Point to visit New York before going BACKWARDS to join the final battle?
Thanks in advance for any/all help!
