I'm honestly still confused on how Tommy got hired at HG in the first place. Did they initially bring him on for concept art? Did having something resembling an artist in house just completely blow the Agrama's minds? "Hey, you can draw, we have a cartoon series, can you draw us new cartoons?!" This is how I imagine their thinking works at least.
I'm really anxoius to see what happens when HG burns through their initial movie licensing money, since they're obviously not going to get any more. Given our current economy, I wonder how well their realestate deals are holding up as well. At this point, aside from the various benefits Macross fans would have, the best thing that could happen for the remaining robotech fan community, would be for HG to go under. At least then they'd be able to do their fanmade projects without the crazy HG legal action threats.
