In terms of personal combat mecha (e.g. individual battlepods, fighter pods, powered armor suits, shock troopers, scouts, etc.), who had greater numbers across the universe:  the Zentraedi or the Invid?

Good question. But evidence would seem to lean in the Zentraedi’s favor.

There had to have been hundreds of millions, if not billions, of mecha at the Zentraedi’s disposal.

I’d also lean towards the Zentraedi given their sole purpose was to be a military force for The Masters. It’s natural to assume they would have superior numbers.

Well…

Originally the Zentraedi were created as a heavy labor force. Their size a requirement to survive in harsh environments, and high gravity.

I wonder what was the total number of Invid mecha on Earth during the occupation era.

Unknown.

Probably in the high hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

This topic is of intrigue because to differing extents, both the Zentraedi and the Invid relied on swarm tactics, but I’ve long wondered which of the two groups had more resources to throw into swarm tactics.

Not sure on that one…

The Zentraedi did employ tactics though, the Invid however(at least on Earth) would just came at you.

Only in the novelizations. In the Tv series it says their the Robotech Empire’s internal security forces…
