they only know how to repair and maintain them, at the time before zentradi/human integration zentradi's were battle harden, efficient fighting race, but had an average IQ of a 5yr old in all other aspects.

While the Zentradi don't have as much understanding of their technologies as they may like, they seem capable of designing new equipment from their factory ships. They may be naive in a lot of ways, but stupid or unintelligent they certainly are not - what they mostly lacked was a proper frame of reference.

I think that it's more a case of not giving out details until they become necessary. It's a good way to approach things as it still allows for a sense of mystery, and it avoids the kind of ugly flubs that other franchises make. A lot of this stems from Kawamori, since he's a big time military otaku, and I think that he's quite concerned about getting the numbers wrong.

And there's other leaders like Britai and Kamjin who were every bit as good as their human counterparts.

Anything that shows up in the OP is fair game - it'd only be considered a spoiler if any discussion of the OP is based on things that haven't aired yet (either from a manga, or game, or what have you). As ReddyRedWolf and Tak pointed out, it's the Monster, and it's an iconic Macross mecha. Moreover, I believe that it's the only mecha to have appeared in both Macross Zero and the other animated works (which means that the basic design has lasted from 2008-2059!).
