As a rule, there isn't a whole lot of leeway for customization in the Macross shows. Macross Frontier already pulls off as much as we normally see with Alto in a standard configuration (white), Ozma in a commander setup (grey), Michel as long-range support (blue) and Luca as communications and sensors (green). I expect Alto to close out the show with the same model white VF-25 that he's used all along. The obvious exception to all of this is Macross 7, but it doesn't count for all sorts of reasons.

The odds were against him, the terrain, the units, everything. Otherwise, he held up pretty well against Quran during the training as battroid. In fact, he was shot while in fighter mode.
I think that the more telling point is that it's Alto's inexperience and recklessness that led to him getting shot up so much. I wouldn't be surprised it it ends up being the reason he gets chewed up next. I also expect that he'll get shot up another time or two before Macross Frontier is over.
