Re: Fun prospects for the Marines book

As someone who firmly believes that Robotech could have future potential if its owners could be persuaded to think beyond the confines of Carl Macek's hastily assembled amalgamation of Macross , Southern Cross and MOSPEADA , isn't it understandable that I'm a trifle annoyed that that's what they're...

Re: Fun prospects for the Marines book

Obviously, the creators of the Macross franchise are keen to protect their work because it's enormously popular, and thus enormously successful. Holy hyperbole, Batman. "Enormously successful" is overstating things. Gundam deserves that label. Evangelion does. Macross? Not so much. As rob...

I'd be happy to. Got an email address or a URL?

I'm guessing that the word "golem" wasn't in his vocabulary when he wrote the list. And if there are two separate mecha named Golem and Garm, then why aren't both of them shown there?

First off, repeat after me. Not Golem, GARM. I'm repeating after you and it sounds like I'm repeating two different romanizations of the same katakana. Is that what you're doing? If you're relying on machine translation it probably won't assign "Golem" to the same characters. Watch the cl...

Just curious, if no one complains about his positing of comic scans, why would he care about about complaints about someone's scan or photo of material that ain't theirs in the first place?

Regarding this... m It's supposed to be a set of add-on armor for the Legioss battroid. Think of it as MOSPEADA's equivalent of the Valkyrie dressed up in the GBP armor. Incidentally, it was designed after the show started airing. Dunno if that counts as "pre-production," your mileage may ...
