More thoughts about Macross F

Macross Frontier is en route to the center of the galaxy, where the first Megaroad expedition was lost. Might it be possible for some of the characters of the original Macross to make an appearance later in Macross F? After all, it is the 25th anniversary of Macross. And according to the wiki page for Macross F, some of the alien mecha have similar markings to those on the "bird" mecha of Macross F. Is there a connection? Will the aliens turn out to be related to the Protoculture in some way? Perhaps even survivors or descendants from that supposedly extinct race? But perhaps modified in some way?

I don't think the Nome characters in Macross F and Macross Zero have any relation to each other... but if they do... that would be interesting.

Some stills from the first episode. Macross Frontier Image Page. Macross Frontier Manga Page.

Edit: I just skimmed through episode 5, and the scientists talk about the alien being the one who tinkered with genes to create the human race... so it does appear that the Bird-Human alien was a part of Protoculture.

So the humans have suspected that the Protoculture is still around, but in hiding? But that someday mankind would encounter them as they continued exploring the rest of the galaxy?
