Trivia / Genesis Climber MOSPEADA

• Dueling Dubs: Aside from being dubbed as the third season of Robotech, the first episode had earlier been dubbed by Harmony Gold with a different cast and a slightly more faithful script as an unsuccessful standalone pilot. It's included as a bonus feature on DVD releases.
• Dueling Shows: Compare Super Dimension Fortress Macross. In fact, Artmic had been cast off Macross in favor of Kawamori's Studio Nue.
• Sequel Gap: The gaiden novel Genesis Breaker Mospeada was released 39 Years after the original series.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Carl Macek originally didn't intend to use Mospeada in Robotech, as his original plans would've used the second Super Dimension anime, Super Dimension Century Orguss, as the second season, and Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross as the third. However, he was unable to secure the rights to Orguss, resulting in Southern Cross getting bumped up to the second season, and Mospeada was brought in.
  • Some of the early character concepts were changed during production. The biggest was that Rook/Houquet was meant to be the singer, which changed after one Yellow/Lance's design was seen by one of the music staff. The original concept of Rook/Hoquet as a biker-slash-musician was later reused in Artmic's later work Bubblegum Crisis.
  • The show was planned to have 38 instead of 25, which initial plan was 13 episodes-long arc about Third Liberation Fleet failing to breach Refless point and having to regroup in Europe and Africa for another attempt. During the preparation, the protagonists would visit Moon Base, which would explore Dark Legioss fighters along with a plotline of them attacking the enemies as well as their own allies due to issues with their programming. This was cut due to budget constraints and an unnecessarily long plot for the finale.
