Players assume the role of a new character Jack Archer, a fighter pilot in the Robotech Defense Force. As the intense storyline unfolds, Jack battles it out with the invading Zentraedi alien armada utilizing his versatile Veritech Fighter, a giant transformable mechanized robot that can convert into a high-flying jet fighter, a 40-foot tall humanoid robot, or a hybrid unit that combines elements of both. With a plot set parallel to the original TV show, Jack encounters classic Robotech characters including, Rick Hunter, Lynn Minmei, Lisa Hayes and even old foes such as Khyron.
