Shorty was a survivor of the Second Robotech War who remained on Earth after the Invid Invasion of Earth with his fellow soldiers Frank, Gabby, Jesse and Roy. They had given up on the war and stayed in a run down Garfish class Cruiser while stealing and selling items. Shorty didn't remember his real name so his fellows called him "Shorty" much to his distain. After Scott Bernard was arrested in a nearby town, he and Roy stole Scott's Cyclone. After returning to their lair and playing some cards, they suspected Marlene of being an Invid after she reacted to the Invid Broadcast Tower signals, Lancer kissed her and their suspicions were negated. after Scott and his men get their items back and tell off the fighters for being weak cowards, they are moved to rejoin the fight. They launch their ship and battle the Invid but die after a Kamikaze attack on the tower. Right before they were incinerated in the blast, Shorty remembered his real name, but died before being able to say it. (Robotech: The New Generation: Ghost Town)
