The SDF-1 Macross is a fictional interstellar transforming spacecraft from The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, an animescience fiction series that aired in Japan in 1982–1983, and its American adaptation Robotech (1985).^[2][3]

Fictional Ship Background

Mechanical designer Kazutaka Miyatake of Studio Nue created the original SDF-1 design for the first Macross anime series.^[4]SDF (Super Dimension Fortress) is a reference to the ship being a maneuverable space fortress capable of space folds, or travelling in subspace for faster-than-light movement. The fictional ship has also appeared on many videogames set in the Macross universe.^[5][6]

In February 2009, the special event Macross: The Super Dimension Space Launching Ceremony was held in Akihabara to celebrate the fictional launch date of the SDF-1.^[7] During the event, the toy manufacturer Yamato displayed the prototype for a 1/2000 scale replica toy of the SDF-1.^[8]

Fictional Ship History

In both the fictional Macross and Robotech continuities, a massive alien spaceship, 1210 meters (3,970 feet) long, crashed onto an unsuspecting Earth in the year 1999, on an island in the Pacific Ocean.^[7][9] In Macross, the island is called South Ataria Island, and is located at the extreme end of the 'Ogasawara Island chain'.^[10] In the Robotech Universe the island is known as Macross Island and is located in an unspecified area in the South Pacific. Inspection of the wreckage showed that the spaceship was manned by giant aliens several times larger than humans and that their technology was centuries and probably millennia beyond Earth's.^[7]

The alien ship was revealed to be a war vessel.^[11] As a result of this, humanity realized that there exists a potential threat beyond Earth and some believed an international government should be established to unite the world against any hostile aliens. The action to unify the world under one government led to a new world war, called the U.N. Wars in Macross and Global Unification War in Robotech, where hold-out nations fought and ultimately lost the battle to remain independent.^[9][12]

The crashed ship was rebuilt and a city, called Macross City, flourished around it.^[9] During the reconstruction, the huge ship was given the hull numberSDF-1 for 'first ship of the Super Dimension Fortress type' or 'Super Dreadnought Fortress' and the name 'Macross'.^[1][13] Like most military designations in Macross, the ship's hull number formatting is based on that used by the United States Navy. In 2009, manned by a completely human crew, the ship was prepared for its maiden voyage to seek out alien cultures and seek peace - its initial goal being never to start a fight. Giant alien humanoids called the Zentradi arrived in the Solar System with a force of several hundred ships at this time, looking for the spacecraft which belonged to their enemies. The SDF-1 turned out to be 'booby trapped' (pre-programmed to fire its main gun at its enemies when detected).^[9][14] The human crew of the ship were unable to stop it from firing at the Zentradi, forcing the humans to commit to a war with aliens. After a failed attempt to take off using its alien gravity control systems, which tore through the ship's hull, the renovated alien spaceship took off using Earth-made rocket thrusters.

During battle with the Zentradi, the SDF-1 attempted to draw the enemy away from the island and the civilian population using its space fold capability to travel to the far side of the Moon so it can rendezvous with the human space fleet. However, the first space fold transported the ship, the island and part of the surrounding sea to the orbit of Pluto instead of the Moon. After rescuing the civilians from the island, the ship underwent a refit with a civilian and business sector built into the aft section hull and was also docked with the CVS-101 Prometheus and the SLV-111 Daedalus sea carriers from February to March 2009. Due to the loss of the Fold system during the first space fold, the SDF-1 'Macross' crew was forced to implement a modular transformation to the ship each time the main gun was used. According to series creator Shoji Kawamori, the whole process takes about 15 minutes.^[15] The resulting transformation changed the external appearance of the ship and made it look like a giant robot, which was called the 'Storm Attacker' mode in the original Macross series.^{[3][9][16][17][18]}

In Macross

In the original Macross series, the SDF-1 Macross was the flagship of the United Nations Spacy.^[19][20]Gunsight One was the tactical call-sign for the bridge of the SDF-1.^[21] The bridge crew included Captain Bruno J. Global (Henry Gloval in Robotech), Chief Tactical Officer Misa Hayase (Lisa Hayes, who was promoted to executive officer in Robotech) and Chief Weaponry Officer Claudia LaSalle (Claudia Grant in Robotech).^[9][22] The final three members of the bridge crew were Kim Kabirov, Shammy Milliome, and Vanessa Laird (Kim Young, Sammy Porter, and Vanessa Leeds in Robotech, also referred to as the 'Bridge Bunnies').^[9][23]

The ship was originally a gun destroyer that belonged to a group of aliens called The Supervision Army. After being damaged in a battle against their longtime enemies, The Zentradi, the Supervision Army abandoned the gun destroyer. It wandered through space for some time before crashing on Earth. The alien ship was codenamed Alien Star Ship 1 (ASS-1) upon discovery.^[24] The arrival of the ASS-1 provoked the 'U.N. Wars', since it motivated a movement to unite Earth under a U.N. controlled military government. This war was bloody and lasted throughout most of the first decade of the new millennium. In the course of that decade, the ASS-1 was rebuilt on the island where it crashed and renamed SDF-1 Macross (a term coined from Macro to imply its massive size).^[1] English-speaking fans have extrapolated that the '-ss' suffix stands for space ship, but this is not an official explanation from the Japanese creators. The '-ss' actually originated from '-su' in the Japanese pronunciation ('makurosu'), which in turn was derived from the Japanese pronunciation of Macbeth ('makubesu'), a pre-production name that one of the show's producers, an admirer of Shakespeare, initially suggested. The name 'Macross' was settled upon as a compromise.^[15]

In the final episode of the series, the Macross the target of a kamikaze run by rogue Zentradi Captain Quamzin Kravshera (Khyron in Robotech). His assault did not completely destroy the Macross, but resulted in severe damage to the ship, including the loss of its main cannon and the Daedalus landing craft. The ship was repaired and refitted. returning to service as UN Spacy's headquarters. The missing Daedalus and remaining Prometheus carrier were replaced by a pair of ARMD-class carriers. The bridge crew also survived almost unscratched (in the Robotech storyline, the crew perished at the end of Khyron's attack, with Lisa Hayes being the sole survivor) and Macross City remains a thriving metropolis.

In The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? (the 1984 animated film adaptation of the original series), the SDF-1 was a female Zentradi (Meltlandi) gun destroyer that crashed on Earth after being chased by the male Zentradi. Since the Zentradi and the Meltlandi had already been at war for hundreds of thousands of years, its presence on Earth after being rebuilt caused the Zentradi fleet to destroy the world's surface as soon as it was discovered by them some time before the beginning of the film. The SDF-1 Macross folded out of Earth just as the Zentradi attacked and began its journey back to the planet to investigate what happened. The events prior to the film were shown in new footage created for a videogame based on the film adaptation released in Japan in the late 1990s.^[25][26] The movie version SDF-1 ship had also ARMD-class space carriers already attached to the main ship since it was built, as opposed to the TV series where the space carriers were supposed to join the ship in Earth's orbit.

In 2040 (Macross Plus), the virtual idol AISharon Apple attained sentience, and during festivities marking the 30th anniversary the treaty between Earth and the Zentradi that ended Space War I, hacked into the systems of the entire Earth defense network, which included the original SDF-1 Macross. During this incident, Sharon Apple caused Macross to briefly launch from the artificial lake that it had rested in since 2010. Furthermore, Sharon Apple used its abilities and the SDF-1 Macross' communications facilities to attempt to control the minds of nearly everybody on Earth. However, UN Spacy pilots Isamu Alva Dyson and Guld Goa Bowman and civilian Myung Fang Lone were able to defuse the incident, destroying Sharon Apple in the process.

In 2059 (Macross Frontier), during a flight across the skies of Galia 4 Alto Saotome and Ranka Lee made an emergency landing and they discovered the wreckage of a first-generation Macross-class ship designated as SDFN-04 Global, which belonged to the New U.N. Spacy 117th Large Scale Research Fleet. This ship completely resembled the Macross as it appeared in 2040 during the events of Macross Plus. This suggests the original Macross design was put into production at least 20 years previous of the Macross Frontier fleet's launch (as seen in episode 13, 'Memory of Global'). In the final episode of Macross Frontier, a glimpse of Earth's Macross City appears, showing that the original SDF-1 Macross ship still sits in its center and continues to fulfill its assigned task of planetary defense.

In Macross II (a parallel-universe sequel that takes place in 2092),^[27] the Macross was a relic that released a powerful energy discharge upon the arrival of an alien race known as the 'Marduk'. Upon being exposed to Earth culture, an 'Emulator' (female Marduk singer used to motivate their enslaved Zentran and Meltran warriors) named Ishtar believed the Macross to be the Ship of the Alus, an entity prophecized to bring peace to the Marduk. With the help of news reporter Hibiki Kanzaki and ace pilot Silvie Gena, Ishtar had the Macross launched in an attempt to stop the Marduk supreme leader Ingues from exterminating all life on Earth. In response, Ingues destroyed the Macross, but its main bridge ejected in time. Performing a new song of peace, Ishtar motivated all Marduk ships to turn around and destroy Ingues' ship, ending the war between Earth and the Marduk.

In Robotech

In the AmericanRobotechadaptation, the fictional spacecraft was originally the flagship of an alien scientist named Zor, who was killed as he sent the spacecraft to Earth. A race of aliens called the 'Robotech Masters' wanted Zor's battle fortress because it held the Protoculture generator (a fuel source Zor cultivated from the Invid flower that led to further development of the Robotech Masters and Zentraedi technologies that were fundamental to interstellar domination which, in order to maintain them, all depended on the Protoculture fuel source). The Robotech Masters then sent the Zentraedi, their army of cloned warriors, to find Zor's ship.

On Earth, there was already a massive bloody 'global civil war' going on throughout the 1990s when 'the visitor' first arrived in 1999. 'The Visitor' motivated several of the warring factions to put their differences aside to create the 'United Earth Defense Council', which served as the head of a global military government. After the creation of the UEDC, there were a few minor skirmishes with dissenting nations, but it was not on the scale of the 'global civil war' that came before it, nor was it on the scale of the U.N. Wars in the Macross version. After dealing with those minor skirmishes, work proceeded to rebuild 'the visitor' which was eventually renamed not Macross but simply SDF-1. In Robotech, Macross was the name of the island in the South Pacific that the spaceship crashed on, not the name of the ship. In the Macross version, the island was called South Ataria Island. Hence, in Robotech, Macross City was named after the island it was founded on, while in the Macross version, it was named after the ship it grew up around.

The ensuing war between the Earth forces and the Zentradi would be retrospectively labeled Space War I in Macross. In Robotech, it would be retrospectively labeled The First Robotech War.

In February 2014, Khyron (Quamzin Kravshera in Macross) the leader of the Zentraedi rebellions, attacked Macross City with the intent of destroying the SDF-1. But the SDF-1 managed to fire a single shot from its main cannon with all of its remaining power, severely damaging Khyron's battle cruiser. However, Khyron - determined to have his revenge even at the cost of his own life, piloted his ship into a collision course with the SDF-1. The SDF-1, drained of power and unable to move, was damaged beyond repair in the subsequent collision and explosion. The SDF-2, the SDF-1's sister ship which was to be under Commander Lisa Hayes's (Misa Hayase in Macross) command, was also destroyed. (The SDF-2 did not exist in the original Macross storyline of this episode.) Admiral Henry J. Gloval (Bruno J. Global in Macross), Commander Claudia Grant (Claudia LaSalle in Macross), bridge operators Vanessa Leeds, Kim Young, and Sammy Porter (Vanessa Laird, Kim Kabirov Shammy Milliome in Macross) and the rest of the SDF-1's crew were killed in the attack - the only survivor being Commander Hayes, who was ejected in the only operational escape pod at the last possible moment by the Admiral himself. New Macross City became too radioactive to be habitable, and was abandoned. The SDF-1's radioactive hulk along with the wreckage of the SDF-2 and Khyron's battlecruiser were buried under three gigantic mounds, and the city surrounding it was completely leveled, although not before everything that could be salvaged from the wreckage of the three ships was recovered for further use in the rebuilding of Earth and the construction of the SDF-3 Pioneer. (In the original Macross version, the SDF-1 Macross sustained heavy damage, but was eventually repaired, while the entire bridge crew survived the attack. Macross City continued to flourish over the years.)

Unbeknownst at the time, a Protoculture matrix was buried within wreckage of the SDF-1. When the Robotech Masters realized that the Zentraedi had failed to retrieve it, they began a 15-year journey in their motherships to find it themselves. When they arrived in Earth orbit in 2029, the Second Robotech War began.

Merchandise

Toys

The first toy replica of the SDF-1 Macross was made by Takatoku Toys during the original series' run. It completely resembled its anime counterpart, but with the addition of landing gear on the underside of its ship mode. This toy was imported into the U.S. by Matchbox in 1985 as part of the Robotech line. A smaller version of the SDF-1 Macross toy was imported to the Convertors toy line in the 1980s as a Maladroid character.^{[citation needed]}

The most recent toy replica of the Macross was released in 2007 in Japan by Wave under the W.H.A.M.! (Wave High Advanced Model). The 1/5000 scale SDF-1 Macross stood at 9 inches tall in Storm Attacker mode and was designed after its appearance in Macross: Do You Remember Love?.^[28]

Model kits

Model kits of the SDF-1 Macross were first manufactured by Arii and Imai between 1982 and 1983. When Imai went bankrupt, the molds of their Macross kits were acquired by Bandai and subsequently re-released throughout the 1990s. These kits required paint and glue (except for the Special Coating versions, which were painted in chrome silver) and were non-transformable; they were available in ship or Storm Attacker modes.
