However, when in combat against Walker Scale enemies or vehicles, their stats have no modifiers against these or the same in reverse. Also, any vehicles they posses would scale up as with any other species, but their "Speeder" scale would be normal sized character's Starfighter scale. Micronization: The Zentraedi have been genetically altered from original humans to be giant fighting machines. However, they have both the genetic information and technology to return themselves to a micronized form, becoming character scale like any other Human. However, they retain their Attributes as they are for being Near-Humans who have "evolved" differently (and/or a little altered to be a warrior caste from the ancient past) from the rest of humanity, but now count as character scale.

  • Robotech Strategy an Encouraging Environment in the Electronics and Logistics Industries
    For professional clients only April 2020 Monthly Perspectives Framlington Equities Not for Retail distribution: this document is intended exclusively for Professional, Institutional, Qualified or Wholesale Investors / Clients, as defined by applicable local laws and regulation. Circulation must be restricted accordingly Robotech strategy An encouraging environment in the electronics and logistics industries • The Robotech strategy rebounded strongly following the broad sell off seen in March • Encouraging signs from the Japanese robotics manufacturers • We reinforced positions in some Healthcare companies Tom Riley Portfolio Manager, Robotech strategy What’s happening? In April the Robotech strategy rebounded strongly following the broad sell off seen across equity markets in March. The relative performance of the strategy has been resilient vs. the broader equity market (MSCI AC World) so far in 2020 and April was another month of outperformance. Historically, we have seen the strategy exhibit higher Beta than the overall market, but in the current sell off we believe the portfolio resilience has been aided by the balance sheet strength of the companies in which we invest. In times of economic uncertainty, it’s important to look not just at the growth opportunities of companies and how they are impacted by the disruption, but also to focus on the balance sheet strength of the companies as this becomes increasingly important. Broadly speaking the companies held in the strategy have substantially less debt (or indeed no debt), compared to overall equity indices, which allows then to be a bit more insulated from some of the market turbulence. Portfolio positioning and performance In addition, we have seen a number of areas of the strategy perform well during the sell off – areas that are anticipated to see a pick-up in demand either during the COVID-19 outbreak or will see increased demand as a result of it going forward.
