TVs are going to continually go down in price. Get it now or later, 3 months later, the price will go down. Right now, the rush isn't on to get new TVs as we still have till Feb. 2009 to switch to HDTVs. But if you really can't wait....

Have you gone through these? http://www.ultimateslr.com/memory-card-recovery.php

Just in time for Christmas. Guess the design became complicated enough to change it to a MG.

Moved to an appropriate locale. This has become less about Macross and more how-to-beat ACE 3. Anyways, continue.

Yes, all those Destroids and VF-1s were civilian owned. And yes, think about what people do to their cars....

Meh. It ain't Macross anyways so I really don't care. The RT crowd can call it Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-tech and I won't care cuz it ain't Macross.

Very true. Considering that the autumn schedule would have been prepared by March/April, that would probably have cut out Macross for this upcoming season. The audition was back during that time so with no show ready for the upcoming season, no reason the schedule it. And with Satelight working on KISSDUM, there's not much choice in the matter. Either short change both series or let them finish on their own schedule. If we are looking at a full year-long series, it's probably for the best.

I think this is for the best. With Gundam 00 being split into 2 seasons, it's probably for the best that Macross F not start until Gundam 00 is coming to an end.

Yeh, I can't make heads or tails of the machine translation. We need a translator. Well, being in 2008/2009 gives breathing room from Gundam 00.

Or, you could have read the Compendium: http://macross.anime.net//mecha/united_nat.../vf0/index.html

DYRL?, firstly, is a retelling of SDF Macross (our real world). Secondly, there is a movie within the Macross universe called DYRL?, which looks almost like our real-world DYRL?. Therefore, in the Macross universe, they Roy you see in DYRL? is not the real Roy Focker, but an actor. It all depends on who's point-of-view we are looking at. If we are looking at it from our real-world POV, then that is indeed, the one, the only, Roy Focker, who dies in this retelling of SDFM. If we look at it as a character in the Macross universe, then that is not Roy Focker, but just some actor who portrays him in this movie called DYRL?.

Books were no good. So here are screen caps. Unfortunately, the light source is behind M13 so I cannot guarantee the actual hue or intensity of the colors. In fact, I even had to brighten the screencaps (i.e. the violet may be more red, the arms may be dark grey/blue, etc).

http://www.filmjerk.com/news/article.php?id_new=521 I don't see RT in that list so chances are, RT will not start until after the potential strike deadline in June 2008.

No. That would be Iron Monger/Obadiah Stane.

It's suppose to be Iron Monger/Obadiah Stane. The Mandarin maybe lurking the the shadows (i.e. sequel) but AFAIK, it's Iron Monger.

No. Why should they be? Let me say this again, this is Robotech not Macross. Big West has nothing to do with Robotech. A lot of people are failing to see the legal (and possibly creative) distinction. RT may be using Macross footage, but it's still RT, not Macross.

Yes. My point was, where did this talk of DYRL? come in. Two years is probably a good estimate. If they finish a studio ready script by the end of the year, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be made right then. WB might just buy up the script and sit on it. Then comes the issue of shopping for a director, cast, SFX house, etc. Look at Halo. Universal and Fox backed out because they weren't sure about it. If WB doesn't think they can get money back from this, you can bet they'll sit on it.

"pilot film"? I guessing not enough sequences animated???? Yeh, I'm starting to look more and more to 2008 than October.

Who said anything about DYRL? HG does own the film rights to SDF Macross through Tatsunoko.

On a related note, considering that work on Transformers 2 has come to a deathly silence due to an impending strike, who thinks work on RT will make it to May/June 2008? Considering that there's no script/screenplay, and nothing much beyond producers and a studio...I don't think this production can make it to May 2008 cutoff assuming that there is a possible strike on the horizon and assuming the worst.

Which is the point I've been explaining since yesterday. It's going to be based off RT, not Macross. It won't look like RT '85 or Macross. Should this thing ever be made, we will probably hear the same complaints from the RT crowd that the Trans-fans made when Bay-formers came out. On licensing issues? What licensing issues? There's no script/screenplay, no designs, nothing. Even then, where does BW come into this? This is about RT, not Macross.

They don't have to (and probably wont) follow it verbatim.

But you can't hire actors without a screenplay. Most want to read it first before jumping on board. Link for G4's comment about spring 2008? Cuz i don't see it. Time and money. Why do you want to waste time and money getting rights from the Japanese when the target audience is in the USA? And what if you get caught in the legal mess? Forget the old designs and just get your own crew to create something new. Nice to know there's actually someone here who's actually thinking how they are going to round down a 36-out-of-80-something episode TV series into 2 hour movie. -Definitely agree that the VF-1 will look different. May share some qualities similar to the original, but it will be redesigned. -Love Triangle...It will be simplified definitely. This will not feel like a chick-flick figuring out who will the guy go for. -Culture shock...I agree. It will be downplayed. I would say they use music because it disrupts the alien systems or something to that effect. Seeing why the aliens react to people kissing or music coming out of an iPod take too long. -Trip back from Pluto? Definitely agree. It's going to stay in-between Earth and the Hubble telescope. At the core is Robotech, but everything around it will look and feel different.
