Appearance
In the Sentinels novels by Jack McKinney, the Haydonites were mostly represented by Sarna and Veidt who were charter members of the Sentinels. They originally appeared as floating robed beings with armless bodies, hairless, mouthless faces and a jewel-like object on their forehead. This jewel was capable of emitting an energy beam. Ambassador Veidt makes an appearance in the Robotech: Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles comic book miniseries in his redesigned form. It is not clear whether Veidt is one of the Haydonites depicted in the movie Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles as none of them are ever named.
With the relegation of the Robotech novels to secondary continuity, it is assumed by fans that the depiction of the Haydonites in the final novel The End of the Circle is no longer considered correct - although information presented in the Sentinels novels (13-17) may still be accurate.

Famous quotes containing the word appearance:
“By nature servile, people attempt at first glance to find signs of good breeding in the appearance of those who occupy more exalted stations.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“Though an unpleasant sort of person, and even a queer threatener withal, yet, if one meets him, one must get along with him as one can; for his ignorance is extreme. And what under heaven indeed should such a phantasm as Death know, for all that the Appearance tacitly claims to be somebody that knows much?”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
