The Supervision Army was comprised of brainwashed Zentradi crewed ships controlled by the Protodeviln.

They already sorted that out in 7.

The Vajra appear to be just random bugs.

I'm thinking the vajira had to have been messed with by the protoculture at some point. Species don't just evolve to gain the ability to produce missiles internally and internal beam weapons on their own.

It's fairly obvious someone was dicking around with the Vajra's development. Hell, doesn't Leon pretty much say as much in #5 when he's talking about what they learnt from the Varja corpses?

And given the sorta-kinda similarities between the visual design of the Vajra and the Birdman in Zero, it's pretty much all-but-confirmed.

Except there really doesn't seem to be any time left for them to go into that, so I dunno. Maybe they'll make ten thousand follow-up episodes like they did with 7.

I do believe they also use/used similarly-controlled miclones.
The Vajra appear to be just random bugs.
OTOH, if the hubs to the spiral arms and the outer fringe of the bulge are lousy with Vajra, it would help explain why the supposedly-reasonable Galactic Republic felt compelled to create the mentally unstable Zentradi and daemon possession-prone Evil in the first place.

God damn, Grace is truly one evil bitch. Using Do You Remember Love? to rally the Vajra to kill humanity was a stroke of genius on Kawamori's part.

Just because the Vajira have rallied doesn't mean the battle's over.

The U.N. spacy forces inflicted heavy casualties on the vajira with their opening strike, and they've still got plenty of ships left. I wouldn't count them out of the fight yet.

I'm not counting them out, it was just a delicious bit of irony to have DYRL? support the bad guys for a change.

I saw one with someone singing doing an impression of Lulu. Couldn't find it though.

I found the image of her unfurling her arms with a bat-cape sound and evil eyes to be scarier. And then there was the shot of Leon looking like the Grinch who stole the Frontier, but for some reason I can't get a screencap.

Man, watching the penultimate episodes for Frontier and Geass in the same weekend was not good for the ol' blood pressure.

But yeah, wouldn't that be the ultimate twist to the classic love triangle? Everyone dies of unrelated circumstances. Alto gets blown up by the Vajra, Ranka gets fried by a reaction missile or a Macross cannon, and Sheryl dies to the V-Type virus.

...

Or not. I will enjoy watching Grace and Leon get their comeuppance. Hopefully right at their moment of victory so their despair when it all comes crashing down will be all the sweeter.
I love learning. Teach me. I will listen.

I just hope Hibiki shows and pulls Isht...er, Ranka out of the Vajra mothership just in the nick of time.

More like Isamu saves Myung from evil tentacled cyber entity. Or Shin saving Sara from some tentacled death flower. Or maybe Hikaru saving the fleet from a tentacled bald guy. And I hope someone gets punched in the face with a carrier sized fist. Battle Frontier PAAANCH!

Yeah, but Ranka is like an Emulator for the Vajra so she's closer to Ishtar than any other Macross damsel-in-distress.

Some poor bastard on another forum just said that the assault on the vajira homeworld going south reminds him of the assault on reflex point from the end of Robotech.

I doubt there will be much left of him once the rabid macross fanboys are done ripping him apart.

Seriously, there is an unfortunate lack of Daedelus Attacks since Macross Plus. Seriously, at lest one of the Macross ships should do it. I'd even settle for Quarter face punching Frontier/Galaxy.
