Boy, that brings back memories. Ben Dunn just wanted us to have fun drawing rather than trying to follow the past format. So I used the prototype colors of the main characters in my "Prototype 001" story.
In this scene Captain Rand commanding the new SDF-4 was based on actress Deanna Lund of the "Land of the Giants: TV show with Heather Young in the background. Roy Fokker survived in this alternate universe and became an Admiral, Lisa Hayes (Misa Hayase) became the captain of the rebuilt SDF-1.
The kid Jake is based on my friend's then 10 year old son, he also made a cameo on my version of Gigantor (Tetsujin-28). Since none of the Antarctic Press guys followed the Waltrip brother's version of Robotech, Ben wanted us to start with a clean sheet of paper with new ideas so I decided on the original Macross design. Since the Robotech itself was an alternate universe version of the original Macross, this was meant to be another.
