Veritech fighter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Veritech fighter is a fictional transforming walking machine in Robotech. In the late '90s, an official backronym was invented by Harmony Gold for the term "Veritech:" Variable Engineering and Robotic Integration TECHnology. The name is derived from variable fighter, the term for transforming fighters used in The Super Dimension Fortress Macross (the series from which the first part of Robotech was adapted). Veritech is sometimes abbreviated "VT," though mostly in the Jack McKinney novel adaptations.

The nomenclature for Veritech Fighters partially follows that established in the 20th century by the US Armed Forces. "V" is added to the beginning of the fighter's designation to stand for "Variable" or "Veritech." Unlike in Macross, manufacturers are generally not mentioned.
