This is a pet peeve of mine but perhaps I am in the wrong. Perhaps a more knowledgeable person would be able to answer my question: Is the Veritech attack helicopter-battloid not properly abbreviated "AJACS" rather than the oft-seen "AJAX"?

HMMMM..


HOW IS IT SHOWN IN THE ROBOTECH SERIES? OR SPOKEN?

Perhaps Adam, was a typo error of the palladium people, but according with robotech infopedia it is an "AGAC" (Also known as: Ajax) and according with the " World of the Southern Cross " it is a "VFH-10 AGAC" (Armored Gyro Assault Chopper)

Any of those would be a tough sell, you see. The original Palladium Southern Cross RPG book clearly lists the name as "THE AJACS VERITECH ATTACK COPTER," and with a print date of 1987, clearly predates whatever junk the infopedia wants to put-out. On the other hand, unofficial or unlicensed sources would be only those, and Japanese Southern Cross books wouldn't even talk about anything except the "Auroran."

Once again, continuity has become a major problem within official Robotech media, but I would suppose that, if one actually subscribes to the canon-cleanup style of looking at things, then the new Palladium book is virtually the first Southern Cross-related guide of the Yune Era, and thus invalidates all which came before.
