Sentinels made it into production. Barely. They animated something like 4 episodes before the deal crashed.

I've had people look at me like I've grown a 3rd eye when I mention the price on a Yamato valkyrie. "A hundred dollars? For a toy? Riiiight..." The whole point of these things is that they AREN'T targetting people in their right mind. You just happen to let judgement kick in sooner on Toynami bookends than Yamato toys.

Not only did they not have a hand in it, there's also a page devoted to explaining the diffrences betweeen Macross/DYRL, Macross 2, and Robotech. they make it very clear that the product's unrelated to Robotech in any way.

Maybe when viewed from an angle there's a notch in the wall. You know, like it was knocked down and isn't even across the top.

Speak for yourself. I'm calling it the "really big missile rack".

A pile of downloadable files. You need a CUE sheet, and depending on the distribution, either the disk image or the rips of the data track and assload of redbook tracks(likely distributed as moderate-to-low-quality MP3s). the cue is absolutely vital due to the non-standard format of PCE CDs. Track 1 is redbook, track TWO is data, and then everything else is redbook. Some burners actually can't burn them.

No. Mac+ and Mac2 were released without HG. According to HG, they weren't even aware of the release untill recently(recently being "when we started claiming exclusive rights to all things Macross"). BTW, Mac2 was originally released by a diffrent company. It only became a Manga release when Manga bought them out. Wow!!! How did this slip past HG's seemingly-smelling-anything Macross-related noses?! They didn't care, because Macross wasn't huge at the time. They missed DYRL too. Which was during the original airing of Robotech, if I recall.

Yes it does. I've played through 2036 using Magic Engine and Daemon Tools.

*cough* SMALLER? It's a CD game. It should be MUCH larger than a .pce file. ... It also shouldn't be anything that can be called a ROM, no matter how you abuse the term. Mine came with a metric buttload of MP3s, for what it's worth.

What are you talking about, she was always crazy, that's part of her charm. Remember the whole baby tossing thing? To be fair, Max was too. "You tried to stab me to death! I MUST HAVE YOU!"

... But I LIKED the ridiculously over-done Macross intro.

Yes, but it made Exedol/Exedore's version seem not quite so bad.

I would be VERY suprised if Tatsunoko had ANY ground to chanllenge Big West at this point. Ignoring abuse of your rights typically results in the loss of said rights. At this point, with tons of sequels made by Big West with no cut given to Tatsunoko, and the US releases of Macross 2 and Plus, ALSO with no involvement of Tatsunoko, I'd think one would be hard-pressed to find a judge willing to uphold any Tatsunoko claims.

Every last piece of music in the show is diffrent.

They DID mention that the YF-19 was at the factory for repairs when Isamu arrived. I was under the impression people kept crashing it.

i'd buy it, but only if i could drive it to work and live out of it at the same time. Na...... you wimps can keep your 1/48 SDF-1. I want my 1/1 scale, its being built in orbit right now. You can all see it on a clear night sky;) NASA didn't tell you? The plans were changed a little. It's called the ISS now.

Just because the YF-19 crippled test pilots or even killed them, doesn't mean it's superior. Look more towards the technical specs. Inferior. No matter how good a plane is on paper, if pilots CAN'T fFLY IT it's worthless. I don't see that. The variable camber wings were a quite awesome cabability. Whether they were greater, equal, or lesser than the forward-swept wings is unknown. That was Isamu, not the plane. If you recall, before Isamu the YF-19 was trailing WAY behind. You know, because the pilots couldn't keep it in the air. Isamu was a tad crazy, and was pushing the plane pretty hard. And that showed in the status screen. The YF-21 was showing pretty balanced stats, but the -19 was all over the place. Some fields it clearly excelled in, others it was lagging somewhat in. Probably lagged in the tests requiring subtlety, like saving the VF-1J from the Nousjadeul-Ger(as I recall, Isamu wasted the VF-1 in his rush to get a shot off before Guld).

Well, I suspect a lot of the survivors never figured out the whole sexual reproduction thing. Also notable is the humans engaged in a massive cloning effort to boost hte population, stopping only when birth defects started rising. I suspect they also encouraged large families with tax credits and such.

Simple Explanation: Max and Millia were in the -22's. They could have gone out in 11's, 17's, or 19's just as easily and come out alive. I still think they liked the Q-rau aspects personally. Max and Milla VF-1s VS the entire Protodevlin army! Final tally: Protodevlin destroyed. VF-1 paint jobs scratched.

Come on!! If the kid was too stupid to figure something like that out.... how the heck was he smart enough to keep up with the story line? It doesn't make an ounce of sense, for a kid to be confused by changing intros but not be confused by plot twists. Specially when you consider the enormous amount of anime magik going on in those days. Plot twists? When I was watching Robotech as a kid my view of it was "Ooooohhhhhh, pretty explosions."

Man, that reminds me of my Voltron toys as a kid. ... Never did get the complete die-cast set.

Yes, but then the japanese tabloids said it was the first step of a merger, and the more gullible news outlets started reporting this as fact.

You can't outrun a missile. Missiles are always faster than fighters of equivalent tech. And forward-swept wings are only an advantage in atmosphere. In space, it's meaningless. Ditto for the YF-21's variable camber wings. My opinion is as follows: The YF-19 killed or crippled several test pilots. The YF-21 didn't. Winner and champion: YF-21. ... Though having a battroid mode that was more than just an origami airplane didn't hurt.
