NOW DOES THE PLANE TRANSFORM? I DON'T THINK I SAW IT TRANSFORM IN THE COMICS.

The ConBat does not transform. The Condor is supposed to transform, though I doubt Tommy can be bothered to include that as it would cause far too many problems.

OK, THANKS FOR THE INFO BROOK.

FOUND THIS BUT YOU GUYS HAVE MORE INFO ON THE CONBAT.

Conbat SFA-5
Also known as: "Bat", Convert
Heavy Ordnance Strike Fighter

Length: 17.10m

ARMAMENT

2 x forward facing particle-beam cannons

DESCRIPTION:

This non-transformable fighter was developed by the Robotech Expeditionary Force to provide for rapidly deployable, fast-attack, heavy-ordnance delivery in support of REF military operations (in particular, the first Earth Reclamation mission of 2038.)

Primarily a space-based fighter, it can also operate well within atmospheric conditions. Usually teamed with support of the Condor battloids, the Conbat (also known as the "Bat") proved very successful during its career. They were eventually phased out as the more advanced Alpha and Beta Fighters assumed the multi-purpose roles of the Robotech Expedition's primary strike fighter/bomber.

First Appearance:

Episode 71 - "The Secret Route"




The Conbat can also carry heavy ordnance to strike hardened targets.




The Conbat was used against the Invid during the first ill-fated attempt to liberate the Earth in 2038.

Let it never be said that Tommy never met a plot hole he didn't think was unimportant...

First flown in 2013....Designed initially as a fighter/interceptor

- Robotech RPG 2nd Edition, p.131

So...flying a full 2 years before the REF is even formed and initially an interceptor.

I noticed some extras of Chinese Love and War TPB are from this new animated clip.

I'm surprised that teaser hadn't leaked sooner. Is the pilot Lancer or a new character. I'm hoping for a new person; Lancer's story has already been told..

From what we've known, so far from leaked source .... there's Sera as one of the character .... there's Conbat ... the ill fated Mars 10th Division footages to liberate Earth in 2038 ...

Yeah, it could very well be a Lancer's story ...

HEHEHE, THERE NEVER A TOLD STORY. HECK, RICK IS ONE OF THE MORE TOLD STORYS AND FANS STILL WANT MORE OF HIM.

This is sorta an update on the sidequel, aka rt2011/12 or the new unnamed Robotech animated project.

I went to the Otakon this weekend; I missed Noboru Ishiguro but I caught the Macross DeCulture & Tony Oliver panels. Macross Deculture was like a Macross for Dummies panel for newbies. Tony Oliver was a real nice guy and I found out he is going to be involved in the Robotech sidequel.

GOOD.
GLAD THAT THEY (HG, PRODUCTION PEOPLE, VOICE ACTORS) ARE SORTA MAKING OFFICIAL PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS.

FUNNY THOUGHT THAT HE COULD COME BACK AS RICK HUNTER BUT WOULD NOT PASS HG OF GIVING TONY A SHORT CAMEO AS WELL.

THANKS RTSURFER.

Macross World really is the best source for Robotech news, isn't it?
