Depends on how many of the previous Lessons in Freindship have involved making judgements by appearances and how well they've sunk in, I'd expect. Don't forget that most of the Vajra forms are huge as well - the only ones we see that wouldn't utterly dwarf a pony are the squirrel-ish larva and the green crab adolescent it molted into. The little beige guys are about the size of the YF-24 family variable fighters and Reds are significantly larger, let alone the movie-only blue Hound (apparently the official name of the mantis-style one, which conveniently happened to have an "AFOS cockpit" sort of organ to abduct a human inside) or even a young Queen. Now, it's entirely possible that with anime magic biology a new morph was created to make interacting with humans easier along with the new plan for a looser telepathic interconnection, but they're among the more actually-alien fictional aliens as depicted. It would be kind of a shame to throw that away entirely in favor of green-blooded space hotties when there's already plenty of other choices to fill that role in and out of Macross.
... it wouldn't be weird if a Hound squadron was added to the Megaroad's air wing as part of the Vajra's outreach program, would it? They're pretty cool and well above the capabilities of early-era variable fighters even if they are kinda huge. Maybe just a few as the "honor guard"/personal mounts for the "human queens" that gained the ability to communicate via properly administered V-type infection...
