Did you know

• At the time, the producers were not legally allowed to make a sequel to Super Dimension Fortress Macross (1982), or use any of its main characters. Characters like Minmei ("Minmay" in the original Japanese) and Lisa Hayse ("Misa Hayase") were scrapped due to their similar-sounding names. The character Rick Hunter returned because his name sounded nothing like the original Japanese ("Hikaru Ichijô") and his appearance was drastically altered. It's also why Maia gave her heritage as "half alien" instead of being more specific (half Zentraedi, being the daughter of Max and Mirya).

• The Haydonites, in one scene, refer to the races who uses protoculture as "Protoculture addicts". This is the name of a print publication that began as a Canadian fanzine in 1987 and would continue to be a major anime print publication (quickly expanding its content to general anime fandom) until its cessation in 2008.

• Originally announced as "Robotech: Shadow Force" by Harmony Gold at Anime Expo 2004. This was later changed due to the term "Shadow Force Megazord" having already been used in the series Power Rangers Time Force in 2001.
