Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Technology of Macross
Even though this is not Gundam, Wikipedia:WikiProject_Gundam#Wikipedia_stand_point_on_fictional_mechanical_units_and_items|WP:GUNDAM notes that 's real world significance and notability can be established by "appearances in another series, not dedicated to the original series." The Macross Destroid mechanical designs were reused, almost unchanged, into FASA's BattleTech strategy tabletop games, computer games, and novels (as well as three different remakes of each original design). They were also used in  Testors' R.O.B.O.T. model series and of course, Harmony Gold's Robotech remake, which used both the original designs with a changed story and evolved versions in Robotech II: The Sentinels production designs. The use by different companies of the same designs led to a Battletech#Original_game|lawsuit, and that lawsuit eventually led to these designs being removed from BattleTech almost a decade after their introduction. Three non-Macross franchises with dramatically different stories have used these designs, and that caused a lawsuit in the United States. This is more than enough to establish notability. The article needs to be rewritten to reflect a real-world context with sources and to cite the lawsuit involving two of the non-Macross franchises, but it should be kept
