end of the first issue, the team have managed to recover all the robots and engage the enemy in battle, but are still defeated and get captured. They escape by pushing a big red button which releases the Defenders' minds, unleashing the latter's' full combat capabilities. The pilots then track down the controllers of the savage aliens. They defeat them by causing the evil alien energy siphon to suck the energy from the sun, causing their space ship to explode. Revell comic Revell's division in West Germany, Revell Plastic, GmbH, published a one-shot promotional issue of Robotech Defenders with a subtitle translating to "The Defenders of the Cosmos". Written by W. Spiegel with Artwork by W. Neugebauer, this original comic was not a reprint of the DC Comics series and was not connected to its continuity. It was translated to Swedish and packaged with the model. Like the DC Comics series, it also had no connection to the TV series.
