What they did do was combine it all in a very 'everyday' sort of way with great CGI, and then used them to spin a story which is both reminiscent of the original Macross as well as something that may end up standing up on its own recognizance. Macross Frontier does take place in the same universe than 7 and the original Macross did - it's just in another fleet from the one that Macross 7 covered.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5788','Haesslich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('5788','Haesslich','One thing - you have to remember none of the concepts are all that new, not even for Macross (transforming robots were a staple in anime for years before Macross showed up a quarter-century ago, Sheryl Apple was a holo-generated idol and holographic\/mimetic \'suits\' have also been seen in other anime or sci-fi), and the EX-Gears are like many other \'power armor\' systems, including some which appeared in Genesis Climber Mospeada.

Macross Frontier does take place in the same universe than 7 and the original Macross did - it’s just in another fleet from the one that Macross 7 covered.
