Lance "Lancer" Belmont (Also known as Yellow Belmont in Genesis Climber Mospeada) is a fictional character in the 3rd Season of Robotech. He joined the fight with Scott Bernard and his group to battle the Invid. Lancer is voiced by Cam Clarke, who also provided the voice of Max Sterling.
Story
Lt Lance Belmont was a veritech pilot that was a part of the first attack wing that attempted to liberate the Earth from the Invid launched by the 10th Mars Division of the Robotech Expeditionary Force (REF) in 2038.[1] He flew a non-transformable SA-8 Vampire but crash landed during the attack. The rest of the division was destroyed by the Invid forces. He was rescued by a young woman named Carla. To save Lancer from the townspeople who were assisting the Invid, Carla disguised Lancer as a woman. Lancer took the name Yellow Dancer and passed himself off as a female singer. It wasn't until 2042 when Lt Scott Bernard (of the 21st Mars Division), Rand and Annie arrived in the small town that "Yellow Dancer" was performing at that Lancer revealed that not only was she a he, but that he was a military trained special operative.
Lancer would stay with the group until the battle of Reflex Point.[2]
He fell in love with Sera, Princess of the Invid, and she with him. It was this relationship that largely led to Sera abandoning the genocidal tactics of her brother Corg and to her eventual break with the Regis.[3]
Novelizations
The Jack McKinney novels give many more details of Lancer's training in preparation to become a female impersonator and guerilla soldier. Some of this training included kabuki and budo. The End of the Circle also states that at some point in the years following the Third Robotech War, Lancer was killed in an accident while flying a relief mission. As the novels, like all non-animated Robotech stories are now considered secondary canon, Lancer's fate remains unknown in the current official Robotech timeline.
