ROBOTECH Meltrandi FEMALE POWER ARMOR PRODUCTION LINE 3

thingiverse

The Meltrandi Female Power Armor Series 3 played a pivotal role in the Inter-Colony War, serving as the primary asset for the Meltrandi to raid enemy fleets. These units saw action alongside fleets loyal to the Independent Colonies against the Tirol Empire. The Meltrandi were artificially produced, deemed unnecessary by FEMALE Zenpod, but manufactured during the war to differentiate between large groups of soldiers and their opposing colonies. The Tirol Empire's takeover by the Robotech Masters led to small groups of Meltrandi joining Zentran fleets, marking the beginning of the ERA of the Zentraedi. As Special Operating Forces and Raiders, the Meltrandi were utilized by the Zentraedi Fleets but not integrated into their ranks. The Robotech Masters aimed to preserve these powerful warriors' combat potential. Production Lines for the Meltrandi Power Armor improved with each iteration, repeating the clone cycle to maintain consistency within fleets. Each Production Line was assigned a unique visual recognition symbol through antenna design, identifying the squadron affiliation of individual units. The production design determined which fleet a unit belonged to, further emphasizing the Meltrandi's role in the war. A set of four units stands approximately 60mm tall, reflecting the scale used in Robotech RRT games, which feature 1/285th miniatures. Fans of Robotech can appreciate the spirit of the series by watching GALL FORCE, an anime that shares similar themes and elements.
