Macross Frontier Movie: The False Songstress, Macross Frontier Movie: The Wings Mecha List

2059年，為突入Vajra母星進行最終決戰，移民船團Macross Frontier船團上新星重工開發工廠以LAI技術研究中心提供技術支援所生產新型可變型戰鬥機VF-25“彌賽亞”資料為基礎進一步開發了"對Vajra最終決戰用兵器"，YF-29 Durandal為其計劃驗證機型。與VF-25相比，YF-29不僅裝載了4台引擎，還利用從Vajra身體殘骸中取出的Fold水晶，攻擊力和能源護壁都得到了進一步加強。從外觀上來看，YF-29內置了Tornado Messiah（龍捲風背包）上追加的可旋轉式光束加農，機翼則由VF-25的後掠翼變為了前掠翼，塗裝為紅白兩色，單座駕駛艙，同時裝載有針點防護系統。 （防護盾與VF-27的相像）

Frontier 船團最新銳的可變戰鬥機，在新統合正規軍之前，已優先部署於S.M.S進行測試。除了電視版中的追加裝備外，還新增了新的設定——可用於大氣層內外的超級部件「龍捲風背包」。與僅以型號名稱稱呼的電視版不同，這款戰鬥機從一開始就有了暱稱「彌賽亞」。

Created by LAI Corporation based on the design data of the YF-24 Evolution, the "Prophecy" was named to signify its role in leading the development of more advanced fighters. Before the combat-proof testing of the VF-25F Messiah, several YF-25 test beds were produced to examine the fighter's mechanisms and performance, along with EG-01M/MP EX-Gear control tests. The 001-type was tested on the planet Messiah 025 by Angers 672, a Meltrandi warrior known for her strong resistance to high G-forces. Following this, the unit saw use aboard the Macross Quarter of the Strategic Military Services (S.M.S.) Frontier fleet branch.

The YF-25 was also showcased during the Vanquish races' Starry Cup event on the resort ship Evena of the Macross Galaxy fleet. However, it was attacked by the anti-New United Nations Government organization Fasces and damaged by racer Chelsea Scarlett. After the attack, the damaged parts were repaired, and the unit was used in the battle against Fasces. The head unit was remodeled with parts from the VF-19ACTIVE Nothung. The AI control "Brünnhilde" was ported from the VF-19 ACTIVE for the fighter's onboard computer and updated. Chelsea was chosen to pilot the fighter, with her personal mark drawn and its legs painted white.

During the final battle, the fighter was deployed and equipped with the "SPS-25P / MF25 Paladin Pack," a heavy armor assault pack originally developed to combat the Vajra.

這是一般用機，其特徵為類似 VF-1A頭部設計的單眼式攝影機，以及單門雷射機槍。於 S.M.S中，由非骷髏小隊（スカル小隊）成員所駕駛。塗裝方面也與 VF-1A 一般機相同，採用沙棕色的配色。此外，部分機體會有紅色或紫色的線條點綴。
