I saw ROBOTECH before Macross BUT a couple years before that I got an actual macross VF-1S Something about the design of the mech and scull insignia got me and I would draw Hikaru and MinMei from the box. later I found another, this time packaged as a Converter and it also had versions in different colors. So when I saw commercials for ROBOTECH I freaked out "cool, that's my favorite toy on t.v.!" I watched Voltron too. The fact that the giant robots in these cartoons were piloted by humans and had a reason for being giant robots made me feel mentally superior to the Transformers fans. Attack Of The Bionoids (DYRL) was a great discovery too! Macross is obviously better for every reason but ROBOTECH holds a nostalgic place in my early years and was a gateway to the anime addiction (alongside AKIRA, Fist Of The North Star, Lupin, etc.) so I shant dis.
