The Destroids were the non-transformable second line mecha mainly used in
defence of the SDF-1. The Spartan is equipped with normal hands rather
than the weapons arms which are fitted to the other Destroids and in this
picture I have gone for a more realistic military vehicle look with plenty
of dirt and wear on the mecha rather than a clean, cartoony look.
Also known as the Gladiator in the US release of Macross under the
Robotech title.
