Third and Fourth Robotech Wars
Max is never mentioned in either Robotech's third generation saga or Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles. Max is not seen in the Wildstorm Comic Robotech: Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles but he is referred to in dialogue which confirms that he is still alive and serving as Admiral Rick Hunter's closest advisor. In 2044, as the REF prepares for a full-scale assault against the Invid on Earth, Rick called for Max to join him aboard the SDF-3 and give his thoughts when the ship was testing the Neutron-S Missiles. Max was most likely aboard the SDF-3 after the test firing of a Neutron-S missile in the Omicron Sector went terribly wrong. General Reinhardt sends Captain Vince Grant to investigate but the rescue mission fails, and the fate of the SDF-3 and its crew are unknown (although it is stated at the end of the movie the SDF-3 may not have been destroyed). The quest to find the SDF-3 was a major plot thread in the Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles and Max's fate may possibly be decided in a future Robotech installment.

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or wars:
“‘Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“Wars and revolutions and battles are due simply and solely to the body and its desires. All wars are undertaken for the acquisition of wealth; and the reason why we have to acquire wealth is the body, because we are slaves in its service.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
