For those that like the idea of a transformable Condor, I justfound this fan animation of the mecha over on Robotech.com.

Great fandom, but it's STILL an uglier brick than the Beta.

Yea, but it doesn't need to be overly aerodynamic to get its job done. The idea is to pack as much firepower into as tiny a frame as possible and that often means making compromises....

I don't know about the asthetics (as they are subjective). The Beta still looks like an uglier brick than the Condor IMHO, the only thing aesthetically the Beta has going for it is its wings.

BASED on the 2E RPG loadout of the ntb variant, it only appears to be packing near-Alpha-like firepower, nothing approaching the Beta's level (bomb bay, 5x BFGs, 6x External Hardpoints, 56 SRMs, x6MRM ((last from AotSC))). And the Condor was at one point a competitor/rival to the Beta (without the aerodynamic compromising need to connect to an Alpha).
Really though IMHO the Condor should have been relegated to being an the equivalent of the Armored Battloid system found on the VF-1 for the Alpha Fighter.
