Robotech Discussion Board
This thread is for all you Robotech Fans out there! Old and New.
What is Robotech you might ask? Why what is the difference between a VF-1J Veritech and a Beta? HMMMMM?
What is Protoculture? Why doesn't Rick Hunter see that Minmei is no good for him and should just love Lisa for the woman she is and will come to be? What is a Zentreadi? How come they want Zor's ship? Who is Zor? What's a Regis?
These and any other Robotech related subjects will be discussed.
For those of you who are new to the Robotech Franchise. Robotech is was three separate animated series in Japan at the time. Bout 1984-85. They went by the names: Macross, Southern Cross and Mospeda. When the US company Harmony Gold got the rights to release them in the states, they revamped them a bit. They were tweaked to be inter related. With charactors who's children were to be in the subsequent series following one another. Creating a whole new phenomena and craze accross the world in fact!
You have to keep in mind folks that; BIG TRANSFORMABLE ROBOTS WERE VERY VERY NEW IN THE STATES!
The others being the Trans Formers which aired around the same year. There was nothing like those toons in the states! There was GI Joe and that's about it. Big transformable robots and airplanes, with pilots and crazy space aliens bent on dominating the universe! You can count me in yo!!!!
Oh and the toys, OMG they all transformed man! Just like our other much beloved heroes of old!
Besides being a killer ahead of its time show, Robotech had great writers. The plot was excellent and there was a wide array of characters to follow. Jack Mckinney wrote the novels for Robotech and Robotech: The Sentinels, published under Ballantine/Del Rey. Those books go way more into depth, but you don't have to read the books to love the show.
There is also a role-playing game under the same name that you can still find at your local Role Playing Games Store/Comic Shop. Published under Palladium Books. Or just google Palladium books.
I'll start posting some other facts about Robotech and related nerdery. I just wanted to get the ball rolling.
