Apparently there was some genetic complication to macronizing Michael, at least I remember someone mentioning that here who has better access to Japanese source materials than I do. And, yeah, I realize how incredibly contrived it is that both Michael and Klan cannot take the opposite form, just in reverse order.

There is something in the fanbook, on page 80. Something about "Michel has Zolan blood. But just having the blood of (other races) doesn't mean that one can Zentradise. So you can assume that Michel can't Zentradise either."
But it doesn't actually credit this explanation to anyone... Which is weird considering Max, IIRC? (I still haven't watched DYRL again - last time being about 10 years ago...) The light novels touch on the various issues about why someone might not be able to Zentradise/micronise (e.g. after a few times going through the process, they get stuck in the Zentran size; or their blood/genetics are too 'weak' for it...or ST like that), but it's been a while, so I don't really remember...

Did they every attempt to explain which scale is considered "normal" in Macross? Human or Zentrati size? As that brings up issues with things like food supplies and other things like that. Obviously on Frontier they have both scales covered as you have produce and animals that are also Zentrati scale.
One wonders if the humans would be able to handle a concert of a Zentrati idol singer at full size?

For some odd reason of not creating a uniform standard size/scale for character designs, the original SDFM Zentrans (the average grunts) were actually smaller than their Frontier equivalents, even if you put Kridanik side-by-side with Klang -- she'll be a smidgen taller than the old general (who is already a huge man for his time)!
