It's easier to see it from the PoV presented in the series, but it's application is much wider and harder to swallow.
The generic Vajra is a remote-controlled war machine, if we are to believe Leons words. Now, if those are really trustworthy is another matter...

The best quote ever! I have to give you a cookie. You made my day you really did. XD

Leon did say there was a higher intelligence behind the Vajira. Maybe they're Humanoid Bug leaders we have yet to see.

sorry to let out an A-bomb lolz... anyways i remember The Pied Piper of Hamelin where he was able to lure the rats to river and have them drowned^^. Ranka might follow the same path (or she did already) well maybe she'll do it again in the final episode lure all the Vajra in one place drowned them in the river of DE's

I predict the current dislking for Ranka will turn into an uproar of hate ( ) if she does anything like The Pied Piper of Hamelin. It is more than a possibility that the Vajraa knows how to cure Sheryl.

Hahaha...

I don't think there has ever been a precedent where I've disagreed with you in this forum. Hilarious, but true!

....at this point i'm really not hopeful that they will find a cure for Sheryl.... ^^. (i know she's not dead yet )^^..... but Kawamori might now be adjusting the characters for the final showdown... and i hope it will end with a big bang.... ^^ like how Alto will show Ranka his love "by going off with the intention to nuke her in the face." (wink.... wink) (´・ω・`)

Ranka won't commit mass suicide.
Despite her outburst in the earlier episodes, she doesn't want anyone to die.
I'm really glad the old spoilers are fake. That would be even more of a douchebag than Lelouch and Suzaku from Code Geass combined

In fact, I don't think she is in control of herself right now. She is melded with the Vajra hivemind and if Grace is right, implanted nanomachines

it will take powerful song (as per Macross traditions) to make her snap out of it.

That's seriously bullshit if it's true.

from what Grace said. She can feel Ranka merging with the hivemind, apparently. Which can only possibly mean that Grace has implanted nanomachines in Ranka too

Sheryl is a possibility.

But they could pull an Ar Tonelico 2 (an RPG with some similarities to Macross F) and have the male main character sing

I don't think she's controlled by Grace, either. But the scene strongly implies that she's connected to Grace via some kind of implant.

translation from the episode:

I have waited for this! This moment!

I can hear it! Little Queen!

Ranka's belly starts to glow

With this... we are...

image of a green light (ranka?) connecting thru what seems to be a network (vajra net?)

The window to new era has opened! (this might be another allusion to what True Begin means)

so unless it is proven otherwise I would say that Grace is connected to Vajra net by proxy of implants in Ranka which is melded with the hivemind

i see.... thanks ^^... Grace is as evil as ever. Ranka's belly has been bothering me for quite some time now.

Vajra.net ^^... are they implementing bandwidth/throttling caps there ^^....

Hardly, considering the type of communication method she seeks is instantaneous. Since there is no discernible lagging or echo effect, unlimited bandwidth for all. Grace is a visionary.

Kimikiss shipping wars was nothing compared to True Tears, probably because the result was so fucking obvious, lmao @ the rage posts and claims of Canvas 2 ending after the last episode. True Tears got heated a few times but Macross Frontier has gone several levels above that, but it did get a lot of in depth discussion, analysis and breakdowns from yours truly and several other Hiromi fans. Been a good year for triangle fans with Ef into True Tears into Macross Frontier... looks like nothing will take its place this upcoming season... lol @ Vampire Knight and no Skip Beat won't simply because it won't end and well watch the show (which should be fantastic!) and you'll see.

Might just be me, but I don't see many people actually shipping Ranka/Alto.
