That was Kawamori & co.'s intention, to instigate speculations about what happened to the Megaroad. It was pretty much his idea of a closure (hero & heroine riding into the sunset), especially since at the time there were no plans to create a sequel to Macross.

Kawamori used to get asked this all the time, and his response is to the effect of "their story is finished and done". They were given a great send off, and there really isn't anything left to explore. Furthermore, leaving matters as is is a good way of honoring Arihiro Hase's memory. With Kawamori fully in charge of the Macross franchise, what he says is going to be the way it is.
And really the only proper way to tackle Megaroad-01 again is to use Hikaru, Misa and Minmay as the leads again (using them as secondary characters doesn't work as Shadow Chronicles aptly demonstrates ). And the key to their character roles is to go over their relationships again. Since those relationships ended at a very stable spot, it'd be necessary to shake them up again (seeing the happy couple enjoy themselves all the time is drama-killing), and that's only asking for trouble.

Macross Frontier questions...
How did Sheryl get infected by V-type virus? What were the capsules that Grace gave her supposed to do? And is there any treatment for Sheryl? What is Grace? She was a human.. Why was Michel killed off suddenly by the writer? |

Make her feel better, ostensibly. Yes. Ranka. Yeah...just how much of the real Grace was left is debatable... He wasn't. He was killed by the Vajra. It's war. Theoretically, anyone can die at any time. Even characters who you like a lot. But, according to Kawamori's commentary for the episodes in the book 2059 Memories, Michael was ALWAYS slated to die, but he was originally supposed to die around halfway through the show. The staff liked him, though, so he ended up living for a while longer. |

Ah, if I recall correctly, she needed to rewire her emotional circuitry in order to effectively perform her experiments on Sheryl without the distractions of feelings of attachment. I'm thinking she was already a cyborg by then.

I have a question about the zentran situation at the time of their encounter with the humans.
It is said that they are a civilization that only live for the war. That to me seems to imply they are fighting wars all the time. In the first series we know that the Macross is actually a spaceship that was built by a an enemy faction of the Zentradi that will fight against the U.N. forces. While I don't remember if that was ever stated directly, it seems evident that the ones who built Macross were also Zentradi. Given this facts, I imagine that there are two or even several factions of Zentradi constantly fighting each other. No other faction has been mentioned except the protodeviln, however it is quite clear that the Zentradi do not want to fight against them, and they have been dormant for a long time. My question then is. Are there more detailed info about this or these other factions? Do we ever see them? Do we know if they were "culturized" like the first one?

But in Macross 7, it's revealed that the Supervision Army was/is made up of Miclones and Zentradi brainwashed by the Protodeviln. However, we still don't know much more about them. It really is one of the bigger gaps in the Macross story, but I doubt it'll ever get filled any more than it already has. (In DYRL, of course, it's just Zentradi vs. Meltrandi, which simplifies things.) |

Maybe the Macross is an old remnants of the Supervision Army fleet before they underwent miclonization.

In that airlock scene, I seem to remember a Miclone-size airlock right next to the giant one...could be wrong about that, but I'm pretty sure I'm not. |
