Exactly. This ain't Carl Macek and Harmony Gold trying to get some rights; this is a major Hollywood flick. Even Robotech.com and Tommy Yune can't touch it (They didn't even know about the movie til the public did! lol)
But then again, there was that whole Transformers "rights" thing as well. But they seemed like they didn't care enough to stay true to the original visuals... so they just went their own way. They were more concerned with paying Megan Fox millions to bend over (which, was probably the best part of the movie) than to to buy some VW licenses or something. Either that, or the classic VW wasn't cool enough for Micheal Bay and his dumb shaky cameras. (who really knows? Maybe the studios got a better deal with that other car company...) The point is, they can stay true to the original, they just want to do what they want...
Like I said, as long as Micheal Bay has nothing to do with Robotech, I'll watch it.
BTW, who the heck is Tommy Tune anyways? I just know he's some Korean guy with hair who wrote a bunch of average Robotech comic books. Why does that guy feel the need to advertise his name, as if he's Captain Gloval or banged Lynn Minmay or something??
I'm sick of that guy and his hair. In fact, I'm sick of Micheal Bay's hair, too.
