#BREETAI EXEDORE SKIN#

My interest in Exedore might be analogous to the kinship most other geeks feel for Spock or other similar characters.

I also loved his character design: his garish colour scheme (red hair and reddish-purple skin against a purple, blue, and green uniform) and the expressive way he was drawn and animated, the latter helped by his large eyes and odd face. It wasn’t entirely through Minmei-obsessed comic-relief hedonism, but more subtle, even if Exedore had plenty of hilarious moments along the way.

These were all traits that captured my interest, and Exedore’s version of the Zentradi evolution was the easiest to relate to of all: a geek becoming aware of the wider world and slightly opening up, just like what I wanted to do. Though a loyal follower of the main antagonist, he was not a smarmy sycophant, either. He could be dour, quirky, nebbish, sad, or even show a mean streak. By the tail end of the original series, Exedore seems to be displaying an increasing emotional range, expressing sadness over the two peoples’ inability to coexist, but also a sharp cynicism about the same fact.īefore that, Exedore was a cool-minded strategist, but also had his emotional moments, too.

It was with the Robotech dub that I first formulated my opinions on the Zentradi, so to start with, I’ll be using the Robotech names.īeing a geek myself, it was probably inevitable that I would identify the most strongly with the Zentradi Exedore Formo, the odd-looking and slightly nerdy advisor/historian/archivist. I will describe my feelings on each major Zentradi character from that initial storyline.
