Logan Fighter


JAPANESE NAME:

TASC-SCF-02 Logan (The Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross)

MAIN EPISODES SEEN IN:

#39, #40, #46

MAIN WRITTEN SOURCE MATERIAL:

This is Animation #10: The Southern Cross, Palladium's Southern Cross RPG.

REFERENCE FOR ANIMATION SHEETS:

This is Animation #10: The Southern Cross, Robotech Art 2, My Anime Magazine, Palladium's Southern Cross RPG, Out Magazine, July 1984.

COMMENTS:

Probably because its role in Southern Cross was so brief, this mecha is very poorly described in the source material. Aside from the name, the only information about this mecha was to be found in the drawings and animation. This illustrates the tri-barrelled nose cannon, gunpod and pair of missile hardpoints. The missile is identical to the missile used on the Sylphid.

The alphanumeric designation of the guns on this mecha essentially follow the RPG's naming convention.

WHY WE DID WHAT WE DID:

Upon examination of episode #40 ("Volunteers"), we decided that what the RPG calls the "forward lasers" were not weapons and are instead mere vernier thrusters.
