Genesis
As the Global War was about to wipe out Humankind, a dying alien genius dispatched the abandoned Super Dimensional Fortress to Earth-and put Humanity's future in the hands of a corps of untried, resolute young men and women: the Robotech Defense Force. Then the most feared conquerors in the universe attacked, and the real war began . . .
Battle Cry
Henry Gloval, Human captain of the alien spacecraft called the Super Dimensional Fortress, was a practical man-he only asked himself once or twice a day how in the world he had ended up in command of the stupendously powerful SDF-1. After all, he had more important things on his mind-for now the Zentraedi had come to claim the alien space fortress as their own . . .
Homecoming
For more than a year, the Humans aboard the SDF-1 had fought and eluded an endless armada of Zentraedi warships. Now the space fortress would have to battle her way back to Earth. But villains came in Human form as well as alien-and the treachery of power-hungry men might be the most lethal threat of all . . .
Battlehymn
For two years, the SDF-1 had been chased through the Solar system by a race of giant alien warriors, only to be made to feel like unwanted relatives when they finally returned to planet Earth. But after three months of inactivity, the SDF-1's Captain Gloval took matters into his own hands. In direct violation of Council dictates, he ordered the SDF-1 airborne. After all, the fate of the Earth was at stake . . .
Force of Arms
The giant Zentraedi had given up their efforts to capture the SDF-1 intact. Now they wished only to destroy it-along with its Human crew, the whole Human race and its homeworld, and those aliens who had defected to the Terran side. Supreme Commander Dolza mobilized the largest fleet of Zentraedi warships the universe had ever seen . . .and all their weapons were aimed at Earth.
Doomsday
It was a war without victors-one that had brought two species to the brink of extinction. And it was a war without spoils, save for the devastated Earth itself. After the final battle, Humans began the painstaking process of reconstruction. The Zentraedi would help them-for the two former enemies now shared a common goal: survival. But all was not well in this bravest of new worlds . . . for one Zentraedi had vowed to lead his race back to their former glory-at any cost.
The Zentraedi Rebellion
Not every Human was eager to share the planet Earth with the Zentraedi survivors of the First Robotech War, and there was little prospect of a lasting peace. The tensions in the Southlands had given rise to two opposing forces: the Army of the Southern Cross, and a loosely organized brigade of Zentraedi insurgents, driven by the Imperative to continue the fight-until one race or the other was eradicated. Caught between those rivals was the Robotech Defense Force, which would play a crucial role in what would be called the Malcontent Uprisings. . .
The Devil's Hand
It was 2020, and the Super Dimensional Fortress 1 and 2 had long been destroyed. But Earth was now on the mend, and the Robotech Defense Force had fashioned a new battle fortress: the SDF-3, tasked with a trip across the galaxy to make peace with Tirol's Robotech Masters. But unknown to Admirals Rick and Lisa Hunter and the SDF-3's crew of thousands, the Robotech Masters were already on their way to Earth. And at Tirol, the SDF-3 would face the galaxy's fiercest warlord: the Invid Regent!
Dark Powers
Stranded on the far side of the galaxy after battling the Invid hordes, the Robotech Expeditionary Force's chances for survival are slim. But suddenly, a starship unlike any other appeared-manned by an incredible assortment of beings determined to challenge the Regent himself! REF volunteers signed on, their mighty war mecha in tow, for a campaign that would mean their total destruction-or liberty for the planets of the Sentinels!
Death Dance
Four months had passed without a word from the Sentinels, and the members of the Expeditionary mission to Tirol feared the worst-even as they began truce negotiations with the Invid Regent himself. Far away, the surviving Sentinels were hopelessly stranded on Praxis, a planet in cataclysm, at the mercy of the Invid Regis. But deep within that world's core were answers to the Sentinel's prayers-if they could only reach them before Praxis tore itself apart.
World Killers
The bearlike Kabarrans a the swashbuckling amazons from Praxis, the feral natives of Garuda and Human Robotech heroes-these oddly matched champions banded together with yet other species to form the valiant Sentinels. But no fighting force could hope to dislodge the Invid hordes from Haydon IV, ethereal world of superscience, or Spheris, crystalline globe of living minerals and murderous resonances. Nevertheless, the Sentinels launched their attack . . .
Rubicon
Optera-birthplace of the Flower of Life and its agents of retribution, the Invid-was to be the site of the final confrontation between the Sentinels and Edwards and his Invid allies. Edwards, with Lynn-Minmei prisoner and a handful of Invid Inorganics under his control, had fled Tirol for the distant planet. Breetai's Zentraedi were headed there as well-and so were the renegade force from Tesla, mutated by fruits of the Flower. The Sentinels themselves were not far behind. . .and it was a battle the Sentinels had to win!
Southern Cross
Twenty years after the First Robotech War, the Robotech Masters came to Earth to finish the conquest their Zentraedi warrior-slaves had begun . . . and a battle-ravaged Earth had to defend itself once more. And young Dana Sterling, half-Human, half-Zentraedi commander of an elite Hovertank unit, stepped into the spotlight of interstellar history!
Metal Fire
An alien fortress had crashlanded on Earth-brought down deliberately in the struggle between the Robotech Masters and Earth's Human inhabitants. Now the fortress sat silently over looking Monument City, daring someone to penetrate its dark mysteries. And who better to brave that ship than Dana Sterling's 15th Squadron ATACs-after all, they had brought the thing down to begin with!
The Final Nightmare
The war for Earth had become even more desperate: the Robotech Master's Protoculture Matrix was degenerating, transforming into the Flower of Life, which was sure to draw the savage, merciless Invid across the galaxy. But the Army of the Southern Cross vowed to wage war for Earth to the bitter end. And Dana Sterling, half-alien commander of an elite Hovertank unit, wages a desperate war of her own to uncover the meaning of her strange visions and the secret of her alien heritage.
Invid Invasion
The Invid Regis had succeeded where the Robotech Masters had failed-her warrior horde had gained control of Protoculture and laid claim to Earth . It was up to the space-weary Human veterans of the expeditionary Force to retake the planet-a world most of them had never seen. And the counterinvasion would be far more difficult than anyone could imagine . . .
Metamorphosis
There had never been a less convntional band of champions: a downed pilot who was a stranger on his own homeworld. . .a former biker hellion . . . a young Forager obsessed with the vanishing heritage of Humanity's lore. . .a lethal Robotech warrior . . . an irrepressible adolescent convinced that the world owes her a Great Romance. . .a cloned enemy Simulagent who couldn't recall who she was. And somewhere ahead of them lay Reflex Point, nerve center and stronghold of the Invid conquerors-and the destination of the group that was Earth's last hope.
Symphony of Light
It had been a long, hard rode for the ragtag band of Robotech irregulars, but Reflex Point was finally close at hand, and preparations were underway for a full-scale assault on the Invid stronghold. But the Invid Regis would not surrender so easily the world she had come halfway across the galaxy to claim. And no one had thought to ask whether Protoculture might have something to say in these matters. But indeed it did, and the final encounter of the Robotech Wars would be more mystifying than anyone had imagined . . .
The End of the Circle
The SDF-3 manifested from spacefold, but no one aboard had the slightest idea where they were-the ship appeared to be grounded in some glowing fog, ensnared by the light itself. And the ship's Protoculture drives had disappeared. Meanwhile, in Earthspace, the Ark Angel had been spared the destructive fate of the REF main fleet, and a mission set out to locate the SDF-3. Elsewhere, mysterious events were being set into motion, and the ultimate conflict was imminent . . .

These are some majorly hot items sought after by Robotech and Macross fans. Models are available but they take a lot of patience and skill. These are not your standard toys, you build them yourself. Some parts move, but I think most of them come in either fighter or battloid mode. Some of the parts move. In the eighties, transformable action figures were on the market. These are collectors items and prices go from $80-200. For the 15th Anniversary of Macross, new Valkery action figures were released. These include the VF-1 Skull leader, Max and Millia type. The toys are small and come in two modes, Batttloid and Gerwalk. Each Valkyrie comes with a small figure and a card. The 15th Anniversary special ranges in price from $22-35 and they are available at comicbook stores and at many online commercial anime sites.
