Once again through faulty translation and efforts to 'balance' the game, the mecha's weaponry as seen on the screen bears little resemblance to the stats in the book. Some models of Cyclones gain chest missiles while in the series they had none, a 4 second error in the size of an existing design becomes a totally new mecha, and all but two of the Beta Fighter's weapon systems is strangely absent. At the front of the book Kevin Siembieda proudly proclaims to have reproduced the complete story of Invid Invasion. In an effort to simulate the small missiles that are the primary weaponry carried by the Cyclones, Palladium introduced the mini-missile, with range and damage equal to existing SRMs while being strictly direct fire. It's rather sad to note that Cyclone missiles they were inspired by in the series curve and generally act like guided missiles.
Palladium seems to think possible.
The CVR-3 combat armor is a human scale armor, yet it has a total MDC level that is equal to the main body of the 50ft tall Zentraedi Tactical Battle Pod. The main mecha the players will have access to is the transformable motorcycle called the Cyclone, which has a main body MDC armor level that is superior to the SC Logan and almost equal to the classic 40ft tall VF-1 Veritech. Even so, those who are looking for a faithful translation of the New Generation era of Robotech would probably do better to convert it themselves. All Rights Reserved.
