Robotech Masters:
Sky Sled BLANK
Third Generation Designs Robotech Master Triumviroid BLANK


The Skysled is the Biover
The Triumviroid is the Invid Fighter Bioroid

There is also the Advanced Soldier and Advanced Commander Bioroids that appeared in the opening animation for SDC: Southern Cross and was recycled for The Sentinels opening (probably reused for the Remastered Robotech Masters opening as well). The Advanced Soldier is a dark blue/purple while the commander is a yellow-khaki. BTW....Palladium misidentified the Advanced Soldier as the Bioroid non-combat Worker.

There are no "official" names for the Bioroids...other than their designations like Soldier, Subcommander, Commander, Scout, Advanced Soldier and Advanced Commander.

The one thing to realise is that they have generally been classified by coloration, though this is disproven in the animation. What we call the Subcommander is seen in both Green and Red. The Commander and the Invid Fighter Bioroid are both red.

Thats the million dollar question. Unlike many, I dont buy The Sentinels plot device that Tirolian and Zentraedi are the same language nor are they simply dialects of one another. To the best of my knowledge, no one has sat down and done what Bill Spangler did and create the Tirolian language. I'm half tempted to try it myself...but I need to study up on Philology to do it. That and I would have to find some Earth language to base it upon. Anyone out there in Tv land talk to Bill Spangler or know how to get ahold of him so we can find out how he created Zentraedi?

So, to make a long answer short...we don't know of any right now.
