* SDF-4 Izumo ( also identified as the Liberator ), is the fourth Super Dimensional Fortress in the fictional Robotech universe.

The reason for changing is unknown, but the naming convention is the same as the Macross series and there might be a conflict in getting an America copyright even though the Gundam series aired before the Macross series in Japan but later than the Macross series ( known as Robotech ) in America.

The VF-1 is different from modern fighter aircraft in that it can transform into three different configurations or modes for different combat environments, and can perform the task of more than one fighting vehicle: In Fighter mode it can act as a jet fighter or a space fighter ; in GERWALK ( or Guardian in Robotech ) mode it acts as a VTOL unit or a " chicken walker " mecha ; in Battroid mode ( or Battloid in Robotech ) it acts as a humanoid mecha.
