And the rest........ The PRAXIANS!!! (so scary) And last but not least, the Perytonians (aka spiky bastards!) And all of this stuff, as Gubaba has pointed out is cooler than anything we got in Macross Plus... Macross 7 Macross Zero and Macross Frontier.....

And look, the "Spheresians" have vaguely spherical shapes!! Taksraven

I forgot about the "kitty with a gas mask" aliens from the sentinels..... The "Garudans"! Taksraven

I know! Taksraven

It would seem no worries about genitals or porn or other such things either. Wonder how they reproduce? Taksraven

And RT fans are like the German people who voted for Hitler in the 1933 elections. Taksraven

Is that the best entry point for the Stooges? Just out of interest? Candy Apple Grey is a great entry point for Husker Du. Taksraven

So by the sounds of that, HG is not a company that normally produces anything. No wonder they don't do anything. Taksraven

I don't think that the ever finalised things like spelling, here is another variant on the spelling.....karbarran FFS! Taksraven

Would seem that it isn't to the fundamentalist die-hards. They continue to hang around. Taksraven

They would get away with it by having fuzzy-wuzzy giant bear/ewok aliens to amuse the kiddies. (Can't remember the name of the alien race, but it was the picture of that creature that really bothered me in RT Art 3. A huge grinning bear with sunglasses, somebody help me out here!) Taksraven EDIT: I think they were called Karbarans

I mean that RT fans would see HG as "abandoning" robotech if they had a hand in the distribution of Macross legally outside of Japan. Taksraven

Was it you who rumbled Orguss_Prime as dougbendo? It was really funny when it happened because as soon as he denied it he either started to take care with his spelling and grammar or ran a spellchecker as one way of showing that it was NOT dougbendo. (Who has some of the worst spelling and grammar that I have ever seen. Must be "robotech style") On the more relevant topic..... I think that part of HG's reasoning when it comes to stuffing around Macross is that if they gave up the copyright on Macross, or allowed its release and distribution by others, a lot of hardcore RT fans would see it as HG "selling out" robotech. Its a wonder that they just don't blame Macross (in a comparison to Goldstein or Snowball, there you go, more Orwellian references) for all of Robotech's "problems". Taksraven

Between my current avatar and this post, I thought that I had already dealt with this serious issue. ;) Taksraven

Naah, its bad enough to listen to them acting like they know everything in their own forums, to have them come here and try to treat us like absolute idiots with their lies and disrespect is unacceptable. In my opinion at least. Taksraven

He does have that sexy singlet though...... :D Taksraven

I'M not making love to dougbendo.... :lol: Taksraven

We accomplish "Peace in our time", or at least peace on forums that have no interest in hosting a flame war that has been going on for a considerable time. Taksraven

The Metallica guys are such FRC's that they could have handed a guitar and a drum over to the kid, not just a token gesture. Taksraven

Speaking for myself personally (and I would suspect a few others too), at the end of the day I simply could not give a stuff about Robotech. If people want to watch it and enjoy it, whatever, I don't care. What dougbendo, memo, etc. can't understand is that a lot Macross fans really hate RT due to its inevitable association with Harmony Gold and the fact that its this company that primarily stops new Macross shows from getting a release outside of Japan. I know its stating the bleeding obvious and I know that I am not speaking for everybody, but if HG would loosen up on its attempts to control all things Macross (and I'm not just talking about Macross itself here, I think what they have been doing to Mechwarrior and the like is sheer bloody-mindedness) and allow shows like Frontier, Zero, 7 and the like get a proper release, then I would be happy for HG to do whatever it wanted with RT, it would just not be an issue for me anymore. I know that I am simplifying things, and there are other issues in getting Macross released, like dealing with Big West, but HG must be seen as the keystone to the problems. I know that this is Shawn and Graham's Macrossworld, nobody elses, and if people are not going to respect that then they should get the hell out of here. If the powers that be don't want a flame war here, then we should certainly take the fight back to places like RT.com and just argue with them over there. Inevitably we will be called trolls and face suspensions and bans for voicing opinions that they do not like. Using that logic, I think that there is no place for the likes of dougbendo and memo to be posting here, since to me, all they are doing is trolling and really upsetting the applecart. Another option rather than banning and suspending people here might be to lock this thread for a while, give people a chance to cool down over Christmas. The likes of dougbendo would take the news of this back to their normal forums and podcasts and claim some sort of victory, but we are mature and intelligent enough to know better than that. Just my thoughts. Feel free to ignore them.... Taksraven

If I was a Robotech episode, I would be all of them because I am a total FAKE!!! Taksraven

Thumbs up of down? Anyone? Taksraven

Didn't expect to find a McCoy apologist hanging around here....... :P Next you'll be telling me how good Delta and the Bannermen was..... Taksraven

Arguing with the RT fanboys is like arguing with Neo-Nazi's about who won WWII. Taksraven
