#khyron
After taking a direct hit from the SDF-1′s main gun, Khyron’s cruiser has just enough power to keep on flying. He and Azonia agree to send it on a collision course with Earth’s similarly drained space battle fortress. Sammie reports that only one escape pod is operational. Despite Lisa’s protests, the rest of the bridge crew agrees on who is most deserving to take that spot.
With the destruction of the SDF-1, Robotech: The Macross Saga comes to a close at issue #36 (Comico, February 1989), by Markalan Joplin &Mike Leeke.

Oh no, it’s the story that, if Macross were a bad Saturday morning cartoon, we would be seeing every week instead of just the once. If you ask me, though, once was too many, though the episode does have its joys. For instance, we get to delight to the sight of Azonia torturingLynn Kyle.Khyron proving himself immune to Minmei’s song is also an interesting moment, though we’d seen him placidly listening to her before back in “Force of Arms.” (Not pictured: the bit where a loyalist Zentraedi produces a giant cigarette and asks a Veritech Battloid to use its gun pod to give him a light, which I think we can all agree is the best scene in the episode.)
Anyway, yes, here’s some of the less objectionable bits of “Khyron’s Revenge,” from the pages of Robotech: The Macross Saga #32 (Comico, October 1988). Markalan Joplin &Mike Leeke do what they can, but, y’know, there’s only so much you can do with “Khyron kidnaps Minmei and demands that Admiral Gloval give him the SDF-1.”

Thanks to Lynn Kyle’s, *ahem*, crowd management skills,Rick Hunter andSkull Squadron have been driven out of New Detroit. In their absence, the piece of Robotechnology they were trying to keep secure, a rare Zentraedi resizing chamber, becomes easy prey for the renegades led by Khyron. This latest case of Kyle’s hatred for the military overriding common sense appears from the pages of Robotech: The Macross Saga #31 (Comico, September 1988) by Markalan Joplin &Mike Leeke.

So beautiful.
We always, always need more Zentradi art from HAL, and not just Milia and the occasional Kamjin.

Reconstruction blues. Robotech/The Killers “A Dustland Fairytale” AMV.
My second anime music video. The ecological & emotional upheavals of Macross’s Reconstruction era — and my appreciation for Minmei & Lisa’s characters — fit well with this ‘killer’ song, my favorite from the Day & Age album.
I think they’re out of my system now. For awhile at least. I’ll do a Southern Cross AMV someday for sure. Anyway – considering this one & the last, I think I’m pretty good at pairing songs & vids for emotional thrust. Hey, if I give myselfgoosebumps…
