So why is it there?īeats me I have the same questions about Breetai's character development in the novels, though it's easier to imagine the novel writers being Breetai fans specifically, both since Breetai is a more conventionally popular type, and because he in some ways gets a lot more to do than Exedore. Here's another quesiton: why is this scene in there at all? I love Exedore, you know I love Exedore, but the fact is most people don't, and even now, it's too much to believe that one or either of the McKinney men liked him. Does she have any issues with being Micronized? Did anyone ask? It will never not bother me that in all versions, she seems to lose all contact with Zentraedi after marrying Max. One thing that did bother me from day one, thought, was that Miriya was never mentioned in this scene. So, I can't really bring myself to dismiss this scene as worthless, even given how flimsy the set up is. To think of Exedore, especially when the Robotech material likes to define as malformed and dwarfish, having his own sense of physical power, even just involving sheer size, is interesting.

It dovetails nicely with his comment about 'frail little bodies' in the TV series. Thirdly, I observed before that the only Zentraedi who are really 'seen' as giants in the metaphorical sense are the most masculine male ones: the giant size of females and 'non-threatening' male Zentreadi is de-emphasized by the scenes and visuals, and in the female's case, they may instead be fetishized, and thus rendered even less of a threat, in that form.īut this scene concentrates on Exedore's feelings of powerlessless when being Micronized, making him in a sense really 'feel' like a giant in the viewer's mind, emotionally as well as physically.

Secondly, yes, it's still an cute moment. This scene grabbed me not just because it was an 'AThat I used one little moment to build a facet of the character says.that it might have been there all along. While this scene of course wasn't Sentinels Exedore's first in the actual novels, it was the first time I encountered something related to him which really got my attention, thanks to Captain JLS mentioning the scene in this post on his now-defunct Roboblog III: The Odyssey blog, one of my first stops into the world of Robotech online fandom and the one which informed me that there was something more out there than the original 85 episodes and the Shadows continuity. He still is, being the penultimate post-SDF1 Exedore, as far as I'm concerned. It was only much later that I began to question the logistics of this, namely, where the hell did all the other sizing chambers go? And couldn't Cabell or someone else repair it?īut there I was, fresh off the heavy disappointment of Shadows Exedore and Neo-Exsedol as fates for my favourite Zentraedi redhead, and Sentinels Exedore was a friggin' godsend. (Though we later see that Breetai has already suspected the truth) Still, he puts up a brave face and pretends that the sizing chamber will work at a time when he needs it. Take this scene from the Robotech apocrypha, both the novels and comics: the Zentraedi are being returned to their original giant size, but Exedore must remain at the Micronized state, and it doesn't matter anyway: due to so many repeated transformations, the chamber breaks down, and Exedore will be small forever. You ever have one of those moments where you fall head-over-heels into something and it takes way too long to recognize what you should have from the start? And when you recognize it, you still can't change your mind?
