azrael Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 It was closed because members here used the thread to childishly and continually fling personal insults at those involved with the Robotech franchise. I prefer to say, "All the Above". I'm sure HG will promote this at AX2013. They're scheduled 1st thing on the last day (Sunday). Ya know, the day after Masquerade and when all the dealers are trying to get rid of their stuff.
UN Spacy Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Any chance we'll get a sneak preview at the next MWCON? I"m' always in the mood for a good laugh.
BeyondTheGrave Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 I'm under the impression that it caused the same tired arguments and if it's not there, maybe RT will just go away... One can dream. I only posted this because I know some people like robotech and it was bound to be posted anyway. true. But we've already had threads about LLA already.
Fly4victory Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Sentinels was Art 3... Art 2 was almost all fan art. Man I loved those books when I was little. Then I saw the Perfect Memory book and my jaw dropped and actually kinda pissed me off how lacking those art books were. One Perfect memory book blew all three of the RT Art books away... Seeing the Gold Book all sealed up at the Shrine Auditorium was such a huge mystery for me. For years I wondered what was in that damn thing. And I tell you, I still open it today and it doesn't disappoint. What's wrong with space tentacles? Gargantia rules. Thanks, I knew it was a follow on book. Completely, forgot about the fan art book. Talk about repressing bad memorizes.
Renato Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 What about MOSPEADA fans? I'm sure he would spread it to them too, if there were any left.... Sorry man, but the truth hurts
Renato Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 QFT Oh, you guys and your M7 hating tag-team. It'll be two decades next year; get over it, please!
Renato Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Question: Why is there not dedicated Robotech thread where all things Robotech can be posted? Like the Negotiator, Duke Togo and Azrael said, because it just became a cycle of incessant arguing. Think about it, the show has been dead for three decades with nothing new coming out except whatever d*ck move HG made to further stifle the Macross brand recently. Nothing constructive can ever come from that. I would concede that it was a good place to let off steam regarding the whole licensing situation, but at the end of the day there was nothing productive.
Einherjar Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) What about MOSPEADA fans? MOSPEADA IS BACK... by proxy! ... Sorry DarrinG. Like I said in the Mospeada thread, there's still an interest in the show, but just not in the way people want it to be treated. Edited June 21, 2013 by Einherjar
Tochiro Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Did I hear that name correctly? Did Tommy get interviewed by 'Sharon Apple' about Robotech? Now we know who is controlling everything behind the scenes!
Renato Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) It all makes sense now. The hypnotized fandom, the soulless marketing, the PURE EVIL. This explains so much. OK, OK.. I kid, I kid. But seriously, that is a huge coincidence! Edited June 21, 2013 by Renato
Vepariga Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) lol Sentinals talk...sadly I own the film aswell. Its..wierd. I own Shadow Chronicles too.. :X...damn my impluse buying...its a curse i tells ye. I'll probably watch this too..just 'cuz. I am aware i torture myself. somones gotta take one for the team.

Please post this pick whenever 'Mospeada is BACK' is stated... it gives it punch...
Smut Peddler Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I'll watch old mospeada episodes over new robotech episodes any day
peter Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Macross7 fans didn't seem to mind the Space Whales, Space Tenticle-sex Monsters, and the Pink Penis squadron... REALLY It's probably one of those things you wish you could unwatch, like M7.
Einherjar Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Please post this pick whenever 'Mospeada is BACK' is stated... it gives it punch... I think a picture of Slenderman would be more appropriate in this case.
Gubaba Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Robbery-tech is so boring I know, right? But hey... Orguss is coming out on Blu-Ray... O R G U S S is B A C K ! ! Edited June 21, 2013 by Gubaba
Agent ONE Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Please post this pick whenever 'Mospeada is BACK' is stated... it gives it punch... legios_c-1.jpg Thats one seriously dumb looking Mospedea picture.
myk Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Meh, I'll watch it. I had always wondered about a follow-up to the first one. If I could give M7 a shot (which I couldn't even get through 5 episodes of despite being tied to a chair Clockwork Orange style) then anything gets a chance, IMO...
Gakken85 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I think Robotech fans want to know what happened to the Characters they grew up with, Not really understanding that Macross is kind of a done deal, and a foundation that was never meant to branch out. I think it was in poor taste to include Max and Co. in plus, or whatever it was. But what can you do.

If I could give M7 a shot (which I couldn't even get through 5 episodes of despite being tied to a chair Clockwork Orange style) then anything gets a chance, IMO... As I understand, it's not really a follow-up to SC. Not in that sense at least. This is suppose to show how Lancer/Yellow Dancer came to Earth during the 1st operation to retake Earth and some of the aftermath of the Invid (Think Mospeada's LLA with some Yun-footage crammed in there). Here's the RT homepage spread: http://www.robotech.com/news/viewarticle.php?id=488 Hummm... Feature Running Time: Love Live Alive - 90 minutes The Shadow Chronicles - 88 minutes DVD Format: Love Live Alive - 4x3 Full Frame (1.33:1) The Shadow Chronicles -16x9 Widescreen (1.78:1) So there's an extra 40 minutes of stuff into RT's version of LLA.
Gakken85 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Oh, you guys and your M7 hating tag-team. It'll be two decades next year; get over it, please! I hate M7 too. For the record.

Fly4victory Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 "Flashbacks" so are they going to try to tie in their rewritten version of Megazone 23? Don't watch the Tommy-view before or too close to after eating. Robo-yuck.
Duke Togo Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Oh, you guys and your M7 hating tag-team. It'll be two decades next year; get over it, please! Just pointing out the paralells between the two. It's a valid point.
ron5864 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Hope they come out of with some new mecha instead of just reusing the Legioss and Tread design. Even Macross has moved on beyond VF-1 a long time ago.
jenius Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 That seems like an ill-placed hope since LLA is a bit of a prequel (from the look of it) that recaps Yellow's arrival on Earth. The "New" mecha is the non-transformable fighter Yellow crashed to Earth in and was shown briefly in Mospeada and looks a bit like a VF-4.

Old_Nash Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I hate M7 too. For the record. I don't like M7 (except Dynamite...), but I saw because for the canon^^
Einherjar Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 That's odd. Why not just get on with their little story... Tommy Yune has said LLA was the last production Carl Macek had been planning for some time for the franchise before his death, and he and co. were following through with it as a final tribute. However, I don't think any of that is actually true. They might be stalling because of money/production problems and maybe from that supposed leaked Shadow Rising script debacle that happened a couple of years ago.
jenius Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 They are DEFINITELY stalling. They used to be frank about this at the cons. To paraphrase: "We're waiting to see if a live action movie will make Robotech popular again because then we could afford a much different Shadow Rising from what you'd get otherwise."

Is the leaked script anywhere on the web? Would be interesting to know what was stated...
terry the lone wolf Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Generation 1? Every single one, plus the movie. I don't recall one VA doing the same exact voice for two characters at the same time. Prowl, Sideswipe, Swoop, Bombshell, & Scrapper -Michael Bell Optimus Prime, Ironhide- Peter Cullen Motormaster, Cyclonus- Roger C. Carmel Megatron, Trailbreaker- Frank Welker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Transformers_characters#Constructicons Edited June 22, 2013 by terry the lone wolf
