Wait so are the Robotech Masters' soldiers clones, androids or mincronized Zentradi?
They keep flip flopping.

The explanation that seems to run through in the end is that they are clones utilizing biomechanical flesh parts (think Bishop androids from the Alien franchise). They're supposed to be a derivative form of Zentradi because protoculture is still used to make them, only they were never micronized. They were just made that way.
Yeah, the writing really sucks. Expect more of the same from everything else they try to continue on but can't quite make up their mind on. Its the same reason why they can't stick to a consistent timeline of what's going on or how old the characters are.
Its just one many things that makes Robotech hilariously bad.
Once The Masters starts they give up trying to be consistent because Robotech was just an excuse to put Macross on American TV anyways.
