The VF-11C Thunderbolt was a mass production third generation variable fighter manufactured by Shinsei Industry for U.N. Spacy. Starting in 2040, existing VF-11B units were upgraded to the VF-11C configuration, which featured updated avionics. The VF-11C’s armaments were mostly the same as the VF-11B, with the exceptions of the anti-armor bayonet being removed from the gun pod and the addition of leg weapon bays with large missiles. The VF-11C could equip a variety of optional equipment, including the Protect Armor system, as well as space and aerospace versions of the Super Parts. In 2045, the VF-11C served as the main variable fighter of the Macross 7 emigrant fleet, which encountered the Protodeviln-controlled Varauta army. With war breaking out, the VF-11C proved inadequate against the Varauta’s advanced Fz-109A Elgersoln and its ability to sap Spiritia from pilots, leaving them in a comatose state. The VF-11C remained in service with the Macross 7 fleet after the Protodeviln War ended in 2046.
