    I do hope they finally resolve the longest dangling plot thread in the franchise's history...

    “On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer.” —Satoru Iwata. Would that you had three lives in this world as well, good sir.

    Well, because it DOES feature humans of several recognized modern subsets of homo sapiens. And it's a big galaxy, there's plenty of room for more. It's not like she's saying the Skywalkers should be retconned into an ancient ninja clan.

    I was born in 81, my firt Star Wars memory is some vague snippet of the Ewoks cartoon.

    Even as a kid, I had trouble accepting Stars' End, the building, taking off like a rocket. To the extent that it's pretty much the only thing I remember from the book, because it overshadowed EVERYTHING.

    Gurren-Lagann. Yes, the internet overhypes it. Yes, there's a huge tone shift at the halfway point. Whether the show gets better or worse there is a subject of debate. Yes, it's totally worth your time.

    Welp, that's definitely cooler than Stars' End. Also less ridiculous.

    I may still have Max and Zor laying around somewhere. MOST of my Robotech stuff wound up in the trash by parental decree. Even my Rick Hunter and a veritech with the cockpit for him to fly in!

    I think you're being unfairly hard on them. They're a quite faithful homage to the original action figures. ... Figures, it must be noted, that were pretty crappy.

    Bless you.

    I thought he got it by launching a prison into low orbit.

    Since when is Captain Harlock part of Robotech?

    Gubaba is pretty much the best part of Mac7, and I don't come into this with the fiery atomic hate that some have for the show.

    Aroooo.

    Fiiiiiine. It's definitely part of a different continuity family than G1. Transformers fandom's already dealt with this "official = canon, even when directly contradictory" issue, so I'll just borrow their vocabulary.

    That it isn't red. Other than that, nothing.

    Who is that, anyways? I see a tribble, so I'm guessing it's from the Star Trek cartoon?
  18. JB0
    I was initially thinking Devil Gundam. Which, well, hits the same notes.

    Gotta admit, I love the aesthetic on the Walkure Romanze stuff. Those swimwear outfits make no friggin' sense(even less than "normal" bikini armor!), but I really like how they look.

    Six terran days, one plutonian day until New Horizons' closest approach to the most famous Kuiper Belt object. Encounter officially live RIGHT NOW. Pluto is no longer on the unexplored list! And on the list of names for geographical features for the moon Charon, under the classification of fictional vessels: Macross.
  21. JB0
    Here's a place that's perhaps appropriate for Macross to show up: On the moons of Pluto. NASA composed a list of names they want to use on the Pluto system's geographical features, put it to a public vote, and accepted write-in candidates as well. One of the categories for Charon is "fictional vessels", and the sixth entry on the list is Macross, with the note "Favored by 30% of the voters from eastern Asia." http://www.ourpluto.org/charon-theme-3 The name isn't applied to any specific geographical feature YET, but with New Horizons' closest approach in six days(And NASA beginning the official encounter today), images that show geography are starting to come in and it'll be on something soon.

    YES! More Voltron/Robotech! The comedy train can't stop!

    I ASSUMED it was a sequel. It sure does try hard to make it look like such.
  24. JB0
    I think that'd be the first time it worked.
  25. JB0
    But that's not Mac2, that's Mac2036. Which is an awesome game, don't get me wrong, but likely not canon. (Also, I believe, the only story ever told about Komillia Jenius after she learned to talk.)
