I know it's Urban Dictionary, but if you're the kind of guy that's really supportive about Robotech, why demean yourself and it with stories like that? You're trying to defend it, idiot.

I'll be honest, a lot of people who posted in that entry sound like cheapskates.

Yeah, she's hot. Mine guilty pleasure is watching Chuck Bass, as interpreted by Joel McHale. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_2Uh16n9Kk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6qpvBAguzY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqoCE3VKhcY Narmtastic!

Roland Emmerich is kind of an a-hole. Spoilers. http://io9.com/5395719/losts-secret-theme-...aprica-glimpses

I'd rather see a stripped down movie adaptation than someone try to take on someone's mantle.

I was the Gingerbread Man.

It's always going to be the Superman rip-off theme that people are going to remember about Robotech. The rest varies, even the ones with vocals.

Wait, did Robotech have a political agenda too?

In the end, it's just another interpretation of the same story they've tried to keep fresh in various media for years, but this time with real actors not decided upon yet.

Yeah, they'd rather offend and cut off one user potentially worth $20-$300 in sales then dozens or so at a time.

I especially liked when Seth Green and Snoop Dog wrestled one night. It was totally out of nowhere, but awesome at the same time.

Maybe when the Convention Tour ends next month, they won't be doing much by then.

Maybe someone found a paper trail.

Where are these discussions happening, the dirty little secret Cannon Fodder section?

Yeah, like I'd care who Pizza the Hut really was anyway. He's a nobody. I sold a couple of Robotech comic books on ebay weeks ago. Maybe I should have advertised it on the boards to see if anyone was interested. Wanzerfan, were you interested in the Wildstorm and Antarctic Press comics? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MESOX:IT

It's clearly the sequel of Earthquake with Charlton Heston.

What rabid fans have been doing recently isn't considered signs of a midlife crisis?

I thought the news that WB wanted HG to stop all current Robotech work in progress so it doesn't interfere with the LAMR was a sign that they did lose control of their property. I don't know if that was true, can someone fact check that?

I don't think they're going to be shifting away from Macross in the near future. Isn't one of the selling points for the live action movie that it's going to be as loosely based on the Macross Saga as possible? And Tommy Yune isn't leading that production, people who knew very little about the legalities surrounding it are. He's forced to wait around while someone else tries to give Robotech another new coat of paint.

Wow, I thought Spanglerist was just a made up word. People in the fandom actually use that. http://rdfpodcast.com/node/773

What's left for those who were fond of the novels and thought it was the best representation of Robotech then? They're a minority with the comic book and maybe the RPG fans in HG's eyes when it comes to canon.

I thought Legend of the Galactic Heroes worked because it started out as a collection of novels before the anime. It was originally made to have that feel and talented people were able to transfer that into animation effectively.

I say it took big ones for HG to openly chuck out a lot of the progression from the novels and such to bring Robotech in a new direction, and even bigger ones to just leave everyone hanging for 3+ years without an explanation since. Oh, and then keep people waiting for a live movie on the big screen which will retcon the whole thing once again, but "for a new generation." People may have fond memories about the novels and such, but it doesn't represent the series anymore. HG wants you to remember the 85 episodes, but most importantly the first 36, when you think of Robotech. Sure, if they ever try again with animation and such, there's a possibility that you'll see material from those days. But if you're expecting the same qualities as well as quality material that hooked you into all of this before, there's a very slim chance of that happening. It's a different type of media where a lot of what happened in the books are either very difficult to replicate or can't be done convincingly. Also remember that they want to take it in their own completely different direction. Carl Macek, gone. Jack McKinney, gone (at least half of him). BW, gone and very protective about their stuff being misused. I think HG screwed themselves trying to keep Robotech relevant. They're left with a lot of amateurs hiding behind technology.

Not just BBTS, robotech.com too. http://www.robotech.com/news/viewarticle.php?id=383 A better quality toy was supposed to be sold sometime in 2009, but not much has happened with it.

Don't they actually try to improve their products and have good customer service to deal with it? They've never had to order an international recall for one toy and make a spectacle of it, right? I don't really know much about Yamato, but I assume they care.
