In the original SD it was stated that the variable fighters were designed after Macross crash landed on earth and humans became aware of the existence of giants in space. The humanoid form is to enable "miclones" to fight on the same level as a giant. IMO its a better reason than Gundams. Im not talking about technical difficulty.
