Episode 24 & 25 of Frontier still takes the cake, though.

I absolutely loved the mecha.
From the Marduk/Zentran hybrids to the VF-02.
Didn't care for the Metal Siren or VF-02J model much, but the VF-02S with SAP etc. was very well done in my humble opinion.
While I prefer Frontier (now that I've seen it), I noticed a few things from Frontier that probably were taken or influenced from Macross II.
The beam cannon on the top of the "big" Varja, reminds me of the beam cannon on the back of the VF-02.
Also, the VF-02 uses small "Bits" which are Ghost fighters, much in the same way that Ghost fighters were used with the VF-25 Electronic Warfare model.
Just a few thoughts.
EDIT:
To keep this on topic.
THIS is my favorite battle scene from all of the Macross series.
Nothing has yet to top it IMHO.
