Description

I really liked the original Horizon-T design from Robotech: The Next Generation, but the Horizon-V design from Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles never did work for me, the forwards swept wings looked stupid to me and the aft armored boosters looked weird and out of place.

With this design, I wanted to take what worked for both the Horizon-T and Horizon-V designs and merge them to create something new. So, I took the blockier aft section of the Horizon-T design while making the wings angular like the Horizon-V, but inverted. I also took some design elements from the Rockwell B-1 Lancer like the pair of twin engines.

All in all, I like this little design, I think it works well enough, although I think the cockpit could be redone and made a bit smoother, but I think it turned out well enough.
