!!Gunther Reinhardt
* AscendedExtra: He was the unnamed commander in the returning REF fleet in the last few episodes of ''Robotech:The New Generation''.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Sort of as he was previously conflated with an earlier version of a Colonel Reinhardt that first was mentioned in the ''Masters'' episode ''Outsiders'' and briefly seen in the ''Sentinels'' animation. This earlier Reinhardt was also named Gunther but was older, bald, and chinstrap bearded. In the novelizations, the difference in physical appearance is ignored and he is made the commander of the returning expedition. To address the differences, the older Reinhardt is now named Adam with his son now named Gunther.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Maia is quick to forgive Marcus' FantasticRacism which was due more to poorly chosen words on his part than actual malice.[[note]]Marcus angrily wished that every alien was dead instead of specifying the Invid. But this was also due to careless scriptwriting as well as it just seemed like a pretext for Maia to state that she was "half alien" (without being able to say half-Zentraedi due to licensing restrictions)[[/note]]. She was also quite gracious to the snarky Alex when informing him that she takes no lip from those under her command.

* OfficerAndAGentleman: Averted with Alex. Goofy, snarky, and generally there for the PluckyComicRelief. The closes he comes is affectionately addressing Maia as "milady". Although, she does not seem to mind, even this is done in jest coming from a ClassClown type.

* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: She and her older sister Dana don't get along ''at all'', and whenever they meet they just go in different directions without speaking to each other. In a variation, "Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles" hints that they ''don't want'' this relationship... But Dana has so much baggage about it she can't help but hate her sister, and leaving without talking is the best they can have.

* ImprobableAge: Maia Sterling, at nineteen, is already a Lieutenant Commander and in charge of Skull Squadron. This improbability becomes even more notable when you consider that her Wolf Squadron counterpart, Lt. Commander Daryl Taylor, is thirty-five. On the other hand, this ''is'' [[TheAce Max Sterling's]] kid we're talking about here and this is pretty much true to ''Robotech's Macross'' roots...

* AdvertisedExtra: Creator/MarkHamill was in this Daryl Taylor, who has about three brief lines before being killed early in the movie. In the documentary extra on the DVD, Mark Hamill even acknowledges that he was just a guest and the real stars were these other guys who "worked on this thing 20 years ago and were coming back".
