mayhem of the animated series. Featuring all-encompassing destruction on a giant
scale, Robotech: Battlecry is a high-octane arcade shooter that captures the

As an intrepid fighter pilot, the player must protect cities of Earth from
roving bands of a giant alien race, the Zentraedi. The player pilots the

convert into a high-flying jet fighter, a 40-foot tall humanoid robot, and a
combination of both. Each transformation mode offers new movement options,
special abilities or weapons. To succeed in battle, the player must use more
than one mode to complete their assigned objectives. In keeping with the

series.
