But by that reasoning(as in hardcore), the Condor isn't a Destroid, but a Veritech fighter/bomber(VF-5) in the vane of the Beta that replaces it as the Alpha's linkable tactical counterpart.

No its not by RT canon. Condor from Mospeada OSM & that of RT.com Infopedia & the latest RT RPG by Palladium stated that Condor IS NOT a VF apart from sharing several module commonality with the Alpha.

The OSM version makes perfect sense. But the RT 'canon' version, well, its RT canon, its flawed.

It makes no sense to have such a heavy ground standing unit in the realms of the mid/late RT wars. It serves no militaristic purpose other then as a fighter bomber to predate the Beta unit.

Thanks to OSM, Condor per RT canon reverts back to non-VF status.

It does, as in, replacing old destroid series & obviously to support VF operations especially in ground combat.

As SCA Battloid series replaced Destroid in UEDF era 2020 - 2029 time period, so did Condor did its role with UEEF circa 2022 - 2038 period.

It serves no militaristic purpose other then as a fighter bomber to predate the Beta unit.

Not covered by any OFFICIAL or CANON sources in RT-verse. Condor by now officially, canonically recognised as a Battloid unit, a successor of MBR series destroid.
