    • Description and History

    The Variable Glaug was based upon the Roiquonmi Glaug used by the Zentradi forces in Space War I. The New Nile weaponry base designed the Variable Glaug as a modified variant of the original and the new unit was test piloted during development by Moaramia Jifon. Like variable fighters, the Variable Glaug can transform into Fighter, GERWALK and Battroid configurations and features two arm-mounted beam guns, two anti-personnel guns and one large-bore beam cannon. The Variable Glaug was a potent weapon during initial deployment and after the United Nations Forces successfully assaulted the weaponry base on New Nile, they in turn created their own Variable Glaugs. A Miclone-piloted Variable Glaug for the United Nations Forces was built as well as an unmanned variant known as the Neo Glaug.

    NOTE: The Neo Glaug was initially developed by Shoji Kawamori for the Macross Plus Game Edition (Sony Playstation, 2000). Afterward, Shoji Kawamori extrapolated backwards from the Neo Glaug and built the 3-mode Variable Glaug in both Zentradi and United Nations versions.
