Macross Triangle Frontier (マクロストライアングルフロンティア), abbreviated as MTF, is an Action Game for the PlayStation Portable (PSP), developed by Artdink and published by BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment. The game was released in Japan on February 3, 2011.
The cover illustration is by Hirotaka Marufuji, who also directed Macross Frontier Movie: The False Songstress. Hirotoshi Ishikawa of Satelight was also responsible for the cover, which featured Alto Saotome, Sheryl Nome and Ranka Lee and mecha such as the VF-25F Tornado Messiah (Battroid mode), VF-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie (Gerwalk mode) and YF-21 (Fighter mode).
Overview[]
Macross Triangle Frontier is the sequel to Macross Ultimate Frontier, the third installment in a series where Artdink incorporated mechanics from the Gundam Battle series into the gameplay.
The game features a simulation segment called "Academy Mode" where players can create a custom character to attend Mihoshi Academy and interact with characters from Macross Frontier as well as the original characters first introduced in Macross Ace Frontier and Macross Ultimate Frontier. Upon unlocking the options through repeated play, players can choose to affiliate with S.M.S., New United Nations Spacy or remain a civilian.
Relationships established here will also reflect in the Campaign mode, where the custom character and the originals relive the events of the Macross series past and present, building their own love triangles in the process.
The game featured a brand new theme song, "『Get it on-flying rock』", sung by Megumi Nakajima and May'n, and composed and arranged by Yoko Kanno. It was composed for Macross Frontier Movie: The False Songstress but used instead for Macross Frontier Movie: The Wings of Goodbye.

Notes And Trivia[]
- There is an error in MTF's Gallery Section: The music track labeled "Get It On" (which was used as the game's opening theme) plays the opening theme for the first Macross anime instead.
- Some Valkyrie Battroid models are prone to stretching during walking animations, transformation or performing melee attacks. This also occurs during the EG-01M/MP EX-Gear training sessions in Academy Mode.
