From Crusher Joe

From Macross
- VF-1 Valkryie
- Zentraedi "Regult" Tactical Battle Pod
- MBR-07-Mk II Spartan Main Battle Robot

Legal difficulties prohibited FASA from displaying any more pictures depicting these mechs, although they were often freely mentioned in novels and books, and their rules remained legal. Thus, these 'Mechs remained unseen until the publication of Technical Readout: Project Phoenix, which presented "redesigns" of the mecha, to allow them to be used freely once again.
