Cyclone Development Question

Unread post by Robotech_Elder »

any ideas as to the time period when the Cyclones were first introduced into the REF with respects to the HG timeline. im trying to justify their existance on Earth prior to the Arrival of the Mars Reclamation Fleet. Rand knew about the Cyclones and Rook had one. So how did they get to Earth and two the new Shadow Chronicles place them prominently within that Comic miniseries?

thanks for your input.

Side Question: Rifts/Robotech - Would a non supernatural M.D. humanoid being be cursed with Vampirism? basically I want to know if a full size Zentraedi be turned into a Vampire.

Also considering creating a non supernatural Vampiric Race for the Sentinels saga. something more along what is in Blade or Underworld. Inputs?
For the Glory of the Zentraedi and Khyron!!

This is one example of where it seems that Harmony Gold are favoring going closer to the Japanese originals instead of treading the path of previously written Robotech sources.

Quoting the RT.com Bartley entry: http://www.robotech.com/infopedia/mecha/viewmecha.php?id=61

This mecha soldiered on throughout the 2030s and into the 3rd Robotech War, where it served with scouts, anti-armor specialists, and forward observers.


That would tie into Lancer's (and supposedly Lunk's too) wave attacking Earth in 2038, as seen the Robotech: Invasion comic series and in the RT.com timeline, where HG now have Mars Division aka Scott's wave attacking in 2042, and provide around 4 years with which Rand could have seen a Cyclone and for Rook to find hers.

Mospeada had a similar gap and Yellow and Jim's wave was where the Mars Base mecha first appeared on Earth also, and it allows them I guess to explain why the mecha is so common without having to resort to ASC Alphas.
