Dangaioh Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I can't wait for Robotech III: The Sentinels II to be released, Hell, I hope they include that crappy Robotech 3000 footage as an extra. Then in 20 more years, perhaps we'll get Robotech IV: The Sentinels III: Shadow Chronicles Part II. 401771[/snapback] You have the name all wrong... it's: "Robotech: Remaster of the Masters' Sentinnel New Generation Shadow Chronicles 3000, farewell to Janice in Minmay's final concert tribute to Macross at Southern Cross live", ofcourse there is also the "Robotech Remastered Remaster collection of the Robotech series w/Remaster of the Masters' Sentinnel New Generation Shadow Chronicles 3000, farewell to Janice in Minmay's final concert tribute to Macross at Southern Cross live".

Keith Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 And in 2008 HG will officially change Robotech's name to "Jesus." Later that year after DVD sales continue to flounder, They'll it's name back to what it was original intended to be, "Ol' Dirty Bastard."

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) I prefer Takaratomy or Bandai to make Mospeada toys not Yamato. Chunky munky Alpha? Non-poseable hips Beta with fat proportions in fighter modes? No thanks. I want Masterpiece mospeada for the adult fanatic not a mass produced toy. Preferably in flexible but strong plastic, and not diecast which will scratch like hell when transformed and develop floppy limbs. Maybe this weight reduction will translate into the ability to upscale the toy to a bigger size with more details too, and alpha beta combinations will be managable. Bandai should just focus on gundam kits while takara do the TF MP and leave the rest to yammy imo What bandai should do is make the custom hands for the yamato Alphas. (cuz theirs have problems holding the gunpod like a man ) Edited May 25, 2006 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Morpheus Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I'll have to look into it. The previews I've seen so far have been rather bland. Too much CGI for my liking. The rep at SacAnime kept telling me that since it "common" that I shouldn't take that as a big deal (we went into more detail, but that was the jeist). Though what irked me in his presentation was how he showed some Mospeada and said "This was the state of the art in 1984". So he calls a mid budget 30+ episode TV "the state of the art of its time", then compares is to a modern, high budget OAV/Movie? WTF? I prefer the look of Mospeada to be honest.

HoveringCheesecake Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I'm not a fan of the CGI either, but I'll watch it because I am *gasp* a fan of Robotech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) I'm waiting for the "due to the lack of interest..." statement release. They should have one of those premade templats for their products, just fill in the blanks for the product that they're cancelling. Geez... judging by the size of that download, it should be 1/3 of the movie already, what kind of trailer is that big?

I can't help making fun of it since it's pretty laughable at this point. But i was geniuinely eager when I first saw the first shots of the MPC... no bias as of yet. I only have bad opinions based on first hand experience, not thru hearsay or anything bandwagonish. Now for the morons Ladic mentioned, i dont know what their opinions are since I'm not one.

Its also a bit of good PR and potentially reviews coming out. News casters/reporters love those kind of things... especially if its a fund raiser for a big name/cause charity... Katrina relief? its gonna pull some press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
