regult

Regult refers to a fictional robotic creature that appears in the anime series Macross. Specifically, it is a type of drone produced by the Zentradi, a race of nomadic warriors in the Macross universe. Regults are often deployed in large numbers as disposable combat units. They are characterized by their insectoid or arachnid-like appearance, typically featuring multiple limbs and a central body.

The primary function of Regults is to engage enemy forces, providing a swarm-like attack that can overwhelm opponents. While individually not very powerful, their sheer numbers and decentralized nature make them a significant threat. They are often seen in conjunction with larger Zentradi mecha, serving as support or distraction. In many instances, Regults are depicted as being piloted by Zentradi soldiers, though some variations might be autonomous. Their design emphasizes functionality for combat, with various configurations sometimes appearing depending on the specific needs of the Zentradi forces. They are a recurring element in the early stages of the Macross saga, highlighting the scale and nature of the conflict between the Zentradi and the human forces. The term "Regult" is thus intrinsically linked to the military might and operational tactics of the Zentradi.
