I think you missed a detail in this topic, those journalists in the second trailer are famous journalists in Argentina. This trailer is promoted by a channel owned by the main media group in Argentina, through his website and tv channel . One of the reporters is in charge of science news (he has a segment called TN science) and the other reporter is in charge of internet news and they talked about the fan project in the TV news

if you knew which were the real reasons of Harmony Gold's last decisitions concerning... things..

I told certain things I know (no rumours, facts) to friends and not even they believed me!

Besides, what makes hard to prove all these things is many of them happen either through instant messengers or live. None of them can be presented as evidence

I can back up what I said earlier, at the price of rising hell. You have no idea how deep all this goes

But hey! I made you talk a little bit. Well, there are other fans like you here, who knows much more info. Perhaps they want to say something too.

Just for you to have an idea. There are at the very least a dozen of fan groups in all these last years who are sources with a lot of details.

Follow any website, fan, etc. who got an exclusive interview with a Robotech personality and there you have a fan who knows about all this. Hey, I've already said a lot, it's someone else's turn now!

BTW Setokaiba, I can tell you something to you in private. But dont quote me on that. Email?

if I say what i know, it will be evident where my information comes from, and it would be a hell of a mess. Though Im quite tempted to do so

Let me see, what else can I tell without exposing too much the sources. The parts directly involved in the development (if the word applies) of Robotech (from now and before) leak information to different groups of fans to get support from them. Again, some users here knows this is true but almost everybody covers their sources because they think it's worth something (exclusive information mainly, that's used to gather fans, but there are even more "material" things than that)

Source? 'Cause sorry, but I don't buy it. HG's modus operandi has, time and time again, to use the fans' enthusiasm and hard work without ever paying them for anything. Why would they pay Memo to do something he'd already do for free?

There are a lot of sources and a lot of details. If you are interested enough, you'll find it yourself.

I'm not particulary interested in revealing my sources, but I know other fans here knows this is true. Perhaps they are interested to tell more about this besides me? If you want some hint to start looking, just start to wonder how some websites gets so easy access to exclusive information and contacts so suddenly. Those "great Robotech fan websites" they show as the example to follow

Do you want to hear something funny? Memo isnt a fan who kisses Tommy Yune's ass, Memo works for Tommy Yune.

He is paid to act as a link between fans and what Tommy Yune wants. He presents himself as a fan in public, but in private to those websites and fans who supports Tommy Yune, he presents himself as an employee of Harmony Gold.

Setokaiba, I thought he presented to you like that, I owe you an apologize.

The Robotech franchise is a mess. There are at leat 5 groups of former/current employees from the 80s/90s/2000s who fights for their own place. They show an image in public, and they show and do other things from behind. The funny thing is, they have to trust each other at the same time they are fighting each other from behind, trying to get the support of fans and robotech personalities for their own group. It would be amazing if a franchise could run like that

Because Harmony Gold supporters and detractors have friends in Harmony Gold, a lot of fans know that . And if you are so casual about this Setokaiba, deny what I say and I'll shout you the name of the person of Harmony Gold where your version comes from. He's the one who said they were in "unfair negociations with Harmony Gold" right? How does he know that?

Setokaiba, it sounds to me like if you were told by someone from Harmony Gold about what to say. It's impossible you to say what you say unless you've been told to tell this from someone from Harmony Gold, because if there was a negociation , you only could bring here the version given by someone from Harmony Gold , sure UEGrs didnt tell you that. (A negociation after or before the cease and desist letter? in which terms, cancel the project or give me your fan work for free?)

Where did you get the basis for what you say? Do you have any proof of it? I've been following this project since I found about it and they always emphasized the non profit nature of the project. Now, you can create many conjectures about this, but the only fact here, unless instead of spreading rumours you show some online evidence for what you say, it's from now on any fan doing a Robotech fan work is in danger of getting sued by them. So no point in creating any fan work

sorry, I dont have any pictures, but I truly would like to know why anyone would like to spend a cent in a Shadow Chronicles cup

do you mind telling that to me? is it because it has a cyclone?

sorry, I dont mean to be offensive

ok, if it helps the topic to stay on top, do your thing

Sorry

Roger, look the topic name, it says "looking for southern cross fans" . If you hate southern cross, open your own topic and stop hijacking this, there is people in this topic who does love southern cross

Big West had or has merchandising rights over Southern Cross in Japan only. There were some Southern Cross models packaged with the Big West in Japan back when Robotech were making southern cross toys

yes, but they cant do that to tell the Robotech story, unless they follow with Sentinesl which has pretty much Southern Cross material on it

I've read differently, that they did so because they wanted to stick to Mospeada

Was this already posted?

Even more, with the Macross issues is more likely Southern Cross has more room in the Robotech story than in the original series, perhaps like they did in the Robotech comics, with bioroids onboard the space fortress and stuff like that. Not mentioning Zor in a Robotech movie would be like not mentioning Cybertron in the Transformers live action. It's the same for the Robotech Masters and all that relates to Southern Cross, their vessels, their society, etc.

It doesnt matter if it isnt popular in Japan. If Robotech live action succeeds, it's could just be an excuse to make a transformable mecha movie under a known name which by itself it's a good enough reason. And they dont have to stick completely to its mecha designs, they could even add that variable Sylphide people was posting before, or other new cooler adapted transformable aircrafts.

they dont have problems with using anything from Southern Cross, only Macross. The company which did Southern Cross is a partner of the company which did Robotech, they gave to the company which did Robotech everything to use in Robotech sequels such as designs for Robotech The Sentinels, and they splitted profits in the past. Besides they will be so happy of getting money of a 25 years old dead series

They need fresh money first, because with the cheap writers and animators they have now, they are going nowhere

Do you think that is so difficult? With a known name, a budget of over U$S 100 millions, aircrafts which transforms into robots, motorcycles which transforms into armors, some known actors and this aint going to have the bland writers from the 1986-2006 failed sequels

If they adapt the show for a Robotech Live Action II it has a chance. They just have to redesign the mechas, get some cool actors and more dynamism to the scripts

I found this, if someone is still interested

i've heard the same story taskraven, that they cut the series to half of what it was supposed to be

Can we get back to Southern Cross? Where is that commisioned Southern Cross art an user/artist from here did some years ago?

Not sure about Southern Cross, but SDF-Macross and Mospeada were made to sell toys

I think SDC Southern Cross borrows more from SDF Macross than Gundam, may be because both were Super Dimensional shows. Things like the "Gerwalk" mode of the Logan from the valkyrie or the 3 cannons in the spartas arms like the Queadluun rau
