Dunno... there's no rational explanation for it, since the comics are legally merchandise and thus there was nothing stopping them from just using the original VF-1 design everywhere therein.

And he said he was donating it to charity. Hehehe... Sigh, And he even had his photobook Geekology signed by Kawamori-sensei himself. This is why I have a problem with the upcoming art book. Even if artists like him got paid, it still feels a little underhanded that HG has access to potentionally an unlimited amount of talent online to repurpose for their needs.

Chronocidal Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 When did the UN Spacy start filling their ranks with clones of Stalin? They really should hire more people off Deviantart, it would be a huge upgrade in quality. I'm slightly more than half serious.

Valkyrie Driver Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Wow... Just wow. Where did they find her a helmet? Also, wasn't the point of that whole thing to show the desperation? I mean, do you have any idea how long 2 people could survive off of one tuna that size? I mean, kudos showing minmay as something other than useless and self absorbed, but... That's just unrealistic... 9 hours ago, Podtastic said: Imagine if the interior art was done by this artist. https://franciscoetchart.deviantart.com/art/6-12-ROBOTECH-Macross05-523741222 I have no understanding of why they downgraded the original designs in the Titan comic if there was no legal requirement to do so. That's too good for Robotech... They need to produce low quality crap, because it increases their volume of product without driving up their costs.
dizman Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Please tell me they left in "That sure is a biiiiig tuna fish."
Dynaman Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 > I mean, do you have any idea how long 2 people could survive off of one tuna that size? Not very long, unless they have some way of preserving most of it.
Knight26 Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 What are those funky looking boot things they are wearing? They kind of look like they have interface jacks or RCS thrusters. AS for preserving the fish, it would probably be frozen so will take a while to thaw out. Cutting pieces of it off would prove a challenge for sure.

Dynaman Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 The more I see of Minmei the less I like the character design, is she supposed to be a washed up has been in this version?

It's funny that I just re-watched that episode the other day (as part of my Macross rewatching). Lucky for this 'new' update, they brought in the whole 'Maguro' instead of only the head.

I did get a chance to watch a weird Macross version where Misa was Misa, Hikaru was Rick and Minmei was named... Maria (Hahaha!) way back 1983 or 1984. Good thing the first thing I did when I was assigned to Japan was rewatching the whole 36 episodes. And I chose Macross over Voltes V, which is very very popular where I am from Robotech was aired back in the Philippines around 1985 over Channel 9. Though I don't have recollection of them changing Minmei's name to Maria(?). Now I have to find footage of it just to see if they changed it for Filipino audience. Hehehe.

There was even a thread for this... I don't know if there is still existing footage online, but I doubt it. And it wasn't Robotech. It was aired on sundays around 5:30pm, and Misa was Misa, I think I learned of "Lisa Hayes" when there was already the internet. Haha!

I just rechecked that thread and remember posting it. But I didn't check afterwards. Surprise to see someone mentioned the tagalog version one. What I remember is the english one when it first aired. Anyways.

We never dubbed in tagalog until Yu Yu Hakusho was renamed into Ghost Fighter here. And it was weird. Haha!
Chet Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Pretty sure Robotech also aired in the Philippines in English on Sunday mornings (usually missed it because of church) on GMA 7 or some other local network. It was later also aired on cable (Star World).
Old_Nash Posted November 1, 2017 Author Posted November 1, 2017 Robotech #4 WTF???? The SDF-1 found 10 years ago is really the actual what back in time!!! And afte the most ugly Bretai, and yhe most ugly Minmei... Ugly Pin Point barrier operatior Rick's first Phalanx... The Most Ugly Bretai II: The Mission Really... why this crap have a 2nd and 3rd reimpression???
Valkyrie Driver Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Ugh. This is just so awful. Well, What should I expect from HG? They're desperately trying to establish a new main product, since in only a few short years, their rights to Macross will revert back to Tatsunoko and I doubt that Big West will allow Tatsunoko to renegotiate with HG, not that Tatsunoko will likely want to. Hopefully this will become the new main product for HG's robotech, and people will see HG for the steaming pile that they are. I also wonder what the Tatsunoko case will mean for Catalyst Game Labs bringing back the Unseen for BattleTech...
Seto Kaiba Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 At this juncture, I would like to congratulate Titan Comics on managing to produce something so awful that it actually makes me look back fondly at Robotech: the Shadow Chronicles. I'd like to, but frankly as far as I'm concerned that should be punishable with a hard-labor-for-life sentence.
peter Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Lol, I don't know why I keep feeling compelled to look in this thread. Guess it's like a really gory motor vehicle accident. Robotech Titans comics has AIDS.

The square root of bugger-all. It'd just mean someone else would be suing them for their criminal enterprise besides Harmony Gold USA. They never had a legitimate license to those designs and they never will. Edited November 1, 2017 by Seto Kaiba
Old_Nash Posted November 1, 2017 Author Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) The Best double-page ever os this serie Gloval go to outside and kick the ship to help with tranformation... Bonus Trash. Minmei and family watches peaceful the city being destroed... Edited November 1, 2017 by Old_Nash
Knight26 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Wow, this actually makes my old Comico Robotech comics look good by comparison. Also, why is a fighter pilot on the ship in the middle of a battle and jumping into the cockpit of a Destroid that he is not qualified on? More than that, how is it that everyone knows who he is by sight at this point? That being said, I do like the extra missile launchers on the destroid. THen again, why would Gloval leave the bridge of his ship in the middle of a battle?
