Hunter flying an Armored Valkyrie
The Armored Valkyrie, codenamed GBP-1, was an experimental system for the VF-1 Valkyrie which added thick armor and a large stock of missiles. It restricted the fighter to Battloid mode.
Rick Hunter flew a prototype to investigate strange signals in space, although he was unaware that the craft was purely experimental and that he lacked the security clearance to fly it. During the run, he encountered a Cyclops Recon Pod. The slow cumbersome armor made maneuvering difficult and it was eventually shot to pieces by the Zentraedi, leaving only the standard Battloid. (Macross Saga: "Miss Macross")
Another Armored VF-1A was deployed on the SDF-1 during the Rain of Death. (Macross Saga: "Force of Arms")
