HOW ARE VERITECHS DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL ANIME MECHA?
The biggest difference is that the Macross originals use fusion power, where the primary power source of the Robotech versions are powered by protoculture. In addition, the novels introduce the idea of the ‘thinking cap’, through which the pilot’s thoughts translate into the Veritech’s actions to some extent. This idea is completely absent from the original Macross Valkyrie.
