I would have wanted to be a Monster pilot or gunner, I don't remember any of them get destroyed
Isn't the VB-6 in service in 2040????? That would be an effective ground unit
I've just been rewatching my AnimEigo box set and although I don't remember which episode it is in, I'm sure there is an episode somewhere in the first half of the series, where you do see a Monster being destroyed.
Can anybody help out which ep it is?

Episode 8 "Longest Birthday".
Kamjin's squadron conducts an assault upon the SDF-1. All the onboard destroids are deployed to defend the ship. The destroids fire out at the Regults, but are very ineffective. In the retalitory strike, you can clearly see the top half of a Monster getting hit by Regult weapons fire. While we don't know for sure the Monster was destroyed (it looks like it's right hand side arm was blown of and the ensuing explosion destroyed or damaged the four top mounted cannons), it was certainly heavily damaged and was definitely disabled at best.
Ure right, just watched it, you can see lather on in that episode Kamjin next to it, it seems like it survived, althought it was badly damaged for sure, well it still gives it's crew a chance to survive, unlike other destroids
