Maccy 1

The https://youtu.be/eQjESUCx6-Q?si=Y5Sn0BjQJ1NoNPSG&t=1042 was a line of large aerospace craft operated by MAC in Ultraman Leo. It was mainly used as a mobile command base and would participate in reconnaissance and logistical missions. A Maccy 1 was docked on top of each of MAC's five orbital bases including the MAC Asia Headquarters, commonly known as the MAC Station.

The Jumbo Kangaroo would be classified as a super large flying vehicle that could seat up to 10 people. Similar to the Maccy 1, the Jumbo Kangaroo would be a part of the defense team's base. It could detach from the base and fly on its own. Its key difference to the Maccy 1 was that it would have been a mobile base that was large enough to store a large number of small and medium rocket craft.
During the drawing phase, the only visual differences were the blue cockpit and the lack of MAC markings.

===Prop Miniature===
Two prop miniatures were built, one measuring 6 shaku long and the other 1 shaku long. The larger prop could dock with the MAC Station's prop and had foldable fore wings. The smaller prop was used for far shots and lacked weathering effects.

==History==
===Ultraman Leo===
Like the TAC Falcon, the Maccy 1 was designed with the same "mobile command base for ground combat missions" concept in mind. When not in use, the Maccy 1 would stay docked with the MAC Station and become a part of the base's essential facilities.
The Maccy 1 of MAC Asia Headquarters was sent to investigate the surrounding areas of the Ozuchi Island, which became one of the victims of the tsunami generated by the kaiju duo Giras Brothers. Despite radar search attempts and member Gen Otori's urges to search for the kaiju duo and their master, Alien Magma, the crew was unable to find anything. Convinced that there was no threat, the Maccy 1 returned to the MAC Asia Headquarters.
A squadron of fighters from MAC Asia was sortied to attack the kaiju form of Alien Tsuruk. However, they were no match against the alien's quick reflexes and blade attacks. Realizing this, Captain Dan Moroboshi who was onboard the Maccy 1 gave the order to retreat. The Maccy fighters later received upgrades to their engines to better combat the alien. Despite this, the Maccy 1 did not participate in further actions.
The Maccy 1 was the first vehicle to fall victim to Silverbloome when the kaiju ambushed the MAC Station. Because Silverbloome attacked the base from above, it prevented the Maccy 1 from taking-off. Very soon after, it was melted by the kaiju's acid and was consumed.
