  • Description and History

    Airframe based on the Zentradi Army's Glaug which was collected by the UN then studied and modified with Earth technology after Space War I. It is an unmanned aircraft using AI that is controlled by Sharon Apple, like the X-9 Ghost, that attacks the YF-19 before it reached Macross City.

    The Neo Glaug is an unmanned version of the original Variable Glaug. The Neo Glaug has two additional medium-bore guns mounted in the forward arm units, but is otherwise similar in design and function to the earlier manned Variable Glaug units.

    NOTE: The Neo Glaug was initially developed by Shoji Kawamori for the Macross Plus Game Edition (Sony Playstation, 2000). Afterward, Shoji Kawamori extrapolated backwards from the Neo Glaug and built the 3-mode Variable Glaug in both Zentradi and United Nations versions.
