Macross

Bye-bye Mars (1x7)

Air date: Nov 21, 1982

Having discovered an abandoned base on Mars, the Zentradi set up a trap for the Macross. The ship already far off the intended course for Earth, makes a stop on Mars for much needed supplies. Driven by personal considerations, Misa requests permission to inspect the base for the origin of an emergency signal. The Zentradi spring their trap, pinning the Macross to the surface. Misa is forced to blow up the base's underground nuclear reactor to release the Macross. Hikaru is sent to rescue her after she finds Herself trapped in the doomed base.
