im almost convinced they are an organic life form, the aliens.
the form of the interceptor/cannon fodder is like a shark, it's arms are folded back.
its like it's designed for gravity locomotion, or multi-tasking purpose, legs or something folded. the "engine" seems to be just added to the end, at the rear at leased the "missiles" seem to slot into some sort of enclave.
I bet these creatures are operating on the same sort of basic principles that the Zentradi formed.
Adapted a spacesuit, armour it, bolt on weapons and an engine and send it out, its just not designed for its purpose.
No bets, but i think whatever are piloting them, look the way they do.
Unless the Macross team just going to throw my logic out the window and we all find out the pilots are human sized female humanoid that are genetically compatible.
