Wes Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I think it looks good. Not awesome, but still better than I feared. I think they were foolish in making Scott look younger, seeing as he's a vet pilot from the previous segment, giving him a couple more years would had been a better move. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I don't think I like the open-bodice of Janice's costume, though it's hardly the worst travesty that current-style pop singers wear. But I do like her android form. Very cool. Quote
Effect Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I think Scott should actually look older due to his experiences. All the battles he's been in, scars, how serious he tends to be most of the time, etc. Oh well. Quote
Agent ONE Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I haven't seen enough to judge if this is going to be lame or not. Quote
Bloodcat Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I like the new Invid mecha, but am so far ambivalent about everything else. Depending on how Episode 3 is going the RT sequel either needs to rock to cleanse the palate of childhood cool things getting modern sucky versions, or will suck because Lucas managed to stop jumping up and down on the bloodied corpse of the few good things of my youth.

valk1j Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 When Shadow Chronicles was first announced, I was pretty much dismissing it as another unfinished HG attempt to revitalize Robotech. I now believe it is going to happen, and am starting to see that they are putting some effort behind it. I will probably try and watch it when it comes out. If it sucks then maybe that will be the end of RT. Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted April 8, 2005 Author Posted April 8, 2005 Update: Chase will be doing remixes to two classic Robotech tunes(I heard she's a really good singer). Thanks for the info Darkwater, www.shadowchroniclesnews.com. BTW, thanks for the Scott/Marlene pic Backstabber, good job! Quote
Zor Primus Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 If you look a little more into Scott's REF uniform you can slightly see a Southern Cross influence around the collar. For Robotech's purpose I think its a good attempt to start having some type of continuity between generations. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 It might turn out a better sequel than M7 and M0 for Macross. Quote
Agent ONE Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 It might turn out a better sequel than M7 and M0 for Macross. I thought MZero was great, but ANYTHING is better than M7. Quote
1st Border Red Devil Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Update: Chase will be doing remixes to two classic Robotech tunes(I heard she's a really good singer). I hope to God its Yellow Dancer tunes and not Minmay. If I hear Stagefright ever again, I think I'll tear my hair out. Hopefully they will remix Look Up!. Might not be a bad idea to remix some of the music from Robotech: the Movie. In all likelihood, one of them will be an update of We Will Win.....which Im ambivalent about. ::shrugs:: Quote

Radd Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 While I'm still not digging Scott's/Stig's spandex uniform (and there is a difference between spandex and a jumpsuit people), this screenshot looks a helluva lot better in that it's clear that they're not overdoing the oversaturated colours. Also, other than the uniform, from at least this screenshot I'm thinking I'll dig the art style. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Marlene's bodysuit totally changed colours, going from a light purple to the dark purple in this pic. Quote
VF5SS Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Aisha Aisha Aisha Aisha Aisha Aisha Aisha Aisha Aisha! =p Quote
Keith Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 I just don't see Stik there, unless that's a shot of him after getting socked in the stomach... I wonder if hte 70's mustache guys from The Sentinels will return. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Aisha Aisha Aisha Aisha Aisha Aisha Aisha Aisha Aisha! =p Since this is Robotech, it's "Marlene". Quote

1st Border Red Devil Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 I wonder if hte 70's mustache guys from The Sentinels will return. You mean Colonel Wolfe? Nope, he's pushing up daisies. Quote
bsu legato Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 I fail to see how anyone can say anything positive or negative based on single still image. For all you know the animation could be as fluid as an episode of Speed Racer, the voice acting could be done by deaf actors and the story could be the worst piece of fan fiction since the "Fall of the Republic" script. The only thing you can glean from this image is that Sti....er, Scott wears a crappy new uniform and that Marlene is wearing Invid attire. But hey...if it makes you feel better: ZOMG!!! t3h new r0b0t3ch show will rox0rz!!!!11!1!one Quote
promethuem5 Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 hahahaha, bsu, that's gotta be the best post in this whole thread... so true.... So all we actually do know is that the colors are nice and we might be able to get some good still images of the updated characters in ugly uniforms. Quote
Hikuro Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 I missed the Robotech panel cause I went home this afternoon, I would have liked to have gotten questions from you guys on what I could have asked Tommy if I was there at the icecream social with them......Plus I wanted my issue 0 of the Roy Fokker story signed by him and Dan.

The pic looks good based on my distaste for Pokemon/Digimon character styles. That's one positive. Scott/Stick's new outfit looks fine to me. That's another positive. Make sense? Quote
Major Johnathan Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 I wonder if hte 70's mustache guys from The Sentinels will return. You mean Colonel Wolfe? Nope, he's pushing up daisies. No, I faked my death to get that do-gooder Stick off my back. Anybody need some HBT cels? (protoculture for you uneducated.) Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted April 14, 2005 Author Posted April 14, 2005 Update: Thanks Darkwater from www.shadowchroniclesnews.com, the Scott/Marlene screenshot is from the PSA and it'll be available for broadcast and downloading very soon. Also, Tommy Yune has reported that animation for SC will be done in July and then post-production will start. Quote
Hikuro Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Wow that's nuts, neat that they'll be done with the animation in July and start on the nitty gritty stuff. Honestly I wanna see this come out good or bad, atleast its something different. Quote

Funny....I always figured Scott shot Wolfe (cause he's an evil prick), programmed his Alpha to fly on its own and dumped Wolfe's body in the cockpit. The whole spiel we hear was Wolfe's last will and testament before mean old Scott shot him in the face. Of course, not too many people ascribe to this theory..... Quote
