“I am excited about Robotech but only if they do it right. They need to stick with the Macross version as it has the coolest machines and story lines. The Robotech Masters story arc is stupid and the Invid is ok. I think if you use some of the technology from the other versions and stick with only Macross, that will be cool. The Shadow Chronicles as a start point will piss of the loyal Robotech fan base, and new Robotech fans will not understand the story from the end point. Robotech is about Rick Hunter so start from their. I think the first movie should involve the Zentradi the second the Invid and the third Shadow Chronicles. This franchise with a Blu-Ray extended cut like LOTR and you have a money making machine. 2010 is the year Robotech becomes an icon for another generation:)”

unfortunately, the “robotech masters” is pivotal to the story arc. if you wish for macross portion alone, you will not get R-O-B-O-T-E-C-H; you get S-D-F:M-A-C-R-O-S-S!:) why would you waste money and energy reinventing the wheel? a live action adaptation WILL NOT make robotech any more real than its animation counterpart. the very sdf:macross, army of the southern cross, and genesis climber mospeada contain the qualities which may not necessarily be surpassed by a live motion picture. the underlying constituents(namely sdf:macross, army of the southern cross and genesis climber mospeada) which made up robotech are already equivalent to live tv drama simply because they deployed dramatization whilst carrying a serialized story unlike most western(especially american) animations of their time. unless the movie robotech presents a fresh story then there is nothing to be excited about. i suggest you spend your time on something more worthwhile. in my opinion, a robotech movie is a waste!:)

quote from starscream38:

“I just only have something to say, I want a movie of Robotech very realistic, not a kiddy movie. See a realistic drama like Battlestar Galactica TV Series 2003. I hope the directors and producers may count with Robotech fans that are expecting the best from them. Also it is very important analize each detail like transformation from Varytech to Gearwalk mode and to Guardian mode in slow speed the public may appreciate that transformation. Oh my ! but don’t forget to place a panoramic sight of the inner city onboard of SDF-1. That should be expectacular view where you can see vehicles transit the highway ceiling like the anime movie.”

how much more realistic than the animation do you hope to be? battlestar galactica is NEVER realistic; it was dramatized to provide (occasionally) excessive dramatic effect ever! would you say that the characters and stories of the classic airwolf, streethawk, knight rider, 6 million dollar man, bionic woman and even the allegedly cheesy original galactica were not realistic? they were portrayed by real persons. and their cheesiness reflects the demeanour and attitude as well as courtesy of the society of the time. by comparison, today’s society lacks courtesy and favourable/commendable behaviour; this is very shameful because it shows degradation/deculturisation of our civilisation! if you just wish for action packed plus romantic drama, the animated macross universe is plentiful of those!:)

I’d be happy with a solid trilogy. I don’t want 6 films to be honest. They could span the original Harmony Gold saga through 3 films I think. I mean if they were able to do LOTR in 3 films really well. Then this can be done.

But it also comes downt o who ends up being director for this project. And that’s what worries me the most.

this deserves something like the lord of the rings treatment because to me its epicdom exceeds even that of TLOTR

since robotech is an entirely different series than macross, im sure they could pull if off as long its not using macross property. it can only be made it its in the context of the robotech series. big west doesnt own robotech and the rick hunter character, they own hikaru.

knowing warner brothers, theyll probably twist it with differnet planes and different transformations. WB will probably screw everything and call the main character MICK PUNTER.

honestly, i really dont know all these legal mumbo jumbo, as long theyre making the damn movie. lol.

:D
