They sure could....in "TV' lore the VE-1 ElintSeeker you just posted is called a VEFR-1 "Funny Chinese"

Still haven't found my DYRL Storyboard book, however, I had completely forgot about this gem which was included with The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? HD Remastered Edition Memorial Box DVD set... This thick little book contains the entire storyboards for DYRL....and into scenes for what later became part of FB2012. Additionally, it includes the storyboards for the DYRL movie preview and the storyboards for Sega Saturn's fantasic Macross game intro scene! A sneak peek of what you will find within the covers!

Thanks! Sheltering in place has made me venture into the archives...bad year to try and give up on pure nostalgia!
