Was watching DYRL for the millionth time today and notice that when Misa and Hikaru got back to the Macross and then the Meltron attacked by the old city, It was Max's valkyrie that was in the lead and not Hikaru. It was quite distincive that the valkyrie up front had a blue strip. So I conclude that he was actually Skull leader while Hikaru and Roy were gone for that month, the next choice is Max. Hikaru was never Skull leader in DYRL. Max also had the Skull leader head on his machine and i think Hikaru still had the VF1a head. This has probably been talked about before but maybe someone will tell me if im right.
