The Fate of Jack Archer
Thanks to the open ended nature of the end of the Robotech: Battlecry game, the fate and future of main character Jack Archer was unclear. Many fans automatically assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that any future game sequel would feature an appearance by him or at least a clue to his fate, despite the large gap of time between the events of Battlecry and the Invid Invasion. Not wanting to disappoint, VC inserted a hidden easter egg which added fuel to the fire of fan debate. However all the Easter egg shows is a message spray painted as if it were graffiti, saying "Jack Archer lives!!", you do not discover what exactly happens to him.
