Cool stuff. I like this kind of material. It just feels like a Robotech universe when we haven't really been getting this despite the numerous attempts to do so. So, for me, I find it an interesting read. And just makes me happy that Robotech is alive.

Nimul

One thing that has interested me is a bit about the reign of the Tirolians. I mean we know that once the Protoculture Matrix was created that they developed a great empire ruled by the Robotech Masters and that the Zentraedi were their foot soldiers. So, this makes me wonder if there would be any po...

Nimul

Think it was Sentinels that had a young Scott Bernard being in the company of Emil Lang who was his godfather and was present on Tirol since he tried to stop Edwards from running out of the council after it was revealed he was a traitor... I know they are no longer canon but thought I would mention ...

Nimul

that does not seem to off topic to me. actually i do not see the tirolians being friendly towards civilians either. but it would be fun trying to play a masters colony fleet fighting off invid forces. Well was worried that since this seemed to gear more towards human colonization fleets that it mig...

Nimul

Don't wish to deviate from the topic but has anyone tried a campaign where you play the role of a Tirolian colonization fleet? Seems that the Masters motherships make a perfect Macross 7/Frontier type of setting. I mean the motherships make perfect colonization ships and are heavily armed, you can h...

Nimul

Some quotes from PttSC: Janice: But he didn't accomplish this alone... he was assisted by some technology he acquired from the Invid. Veidt: Forgive me Admiral, but what Edwards has somehow managed to uncover is not new at all but rather a very old technology that we Haydonites had previously believ...

Nimul

Did someone mention the Sentinels Delta fighter? http://robotech.wikia.com/wiki/Delta_fighter

Might just be me but I quite like the design... I wonder if it could fit with a Beta at the back... but anyway, just thought I would provide that link.

Nimul

I am curious to see how the Haydonites stack him in any future animations that are made such as Shadow Rising. Obviously, they expected an easy victory at SSL and they may have lost that fleet. We aren't sure since we do hear one of the Haydonites say "initiate Space Fold" so its possible ...

Nimul

I think personally I hold the view that Gryphon says namely that the Haydonites are more evil manipulators who use tricks and fancy tech to win their battles instead of overwhelming force or great battle tactics. So things like stealth systems, booby trapped Shadowtech, cannons that send massive pri...

Nimul

Not sure whether to make a new thread for this since it could potentially fit here but anyway this is talking Sentinels era namely after Tirol is liberated from the Regent. Now, from Prelude, we know that Bioroid Invid Fighters were repurposed into Bioroid Interceptors. So, if that mecha is made, wh...

Nimul

So... just rip off Macross Zero then? Well, technically, it would be the cheapest solution. Whether its the correct approach or not is a different matter but ultimately something like Macross Zero would have the highest special effects being just the Veritechs and some Zentraedi stuff with everythi...

Nimul

For me the RLAM project is totally unnecessary and completely mistaken,because is using a lot of resources(money,a lot of)that must be re-directed to the animation franchise in order to help the re-boot of Robotech in his animation nature. I don't need to see a "real" Rick Hunter or Minma...

Nimul

I know they were used as occupation forces just thought that making space mecha would be fitting as a way of reducing actual Invid casualties... mind you, the Regent did invade Tirol which killed lots of his troops just to take a world filled with old men and children....

Nimul

Not only that but there is something twisted about the Invid using Zentraedi against their enemies... never thought of it before but the author of that art piece really inspired me into thinking about it.

Nimul

Been on a Sentinels craze recently. Anyway, from Sentinels, we know that the Inorganics are all automated and slaved to a Brain that controls them. Not only that but there were four models with different roles with the fast Hellcats, heavy Odeons, scout Crann and anti-infantry Scrim (sp?). Yet, one ...

Nimul

You know, technically, the cheapest solution for a Robotech story is pre-Macross Saga with the various nations fighting over the SDF-1.... would be better than a retelling though sadly one will miss the aliens and stuff but would be cheaper with Veritechs versus Veritechs. But its cheaper in that yo...

Nimul

I never really thought of the Zentraedi space cruisers as being the same as the Neutron S Missiles personally. Its entirely possible perhaps the Masters were building their own version of a Neutron S Missile with space cruisers able to destroy a planet in a single blast rather than rely on the myste...

Nimul

Well, Prelude had Edwards saying that the missiles contained neutron star matter that could devastate anything in orbit of Optera when the REF fleet arrived. So, they already knew it was powerful and would wipe out the planet, its just they didn't know to what extent.

Nimul

One thing I would be curious about would be the people of Earth versus the people on Tirol. Wouldnt the Earth people and bands feel that the REF abandoned them to live on Tirol?

Nimul

Ah yes, the E-Wing. Though they weren't mecha though were they? As I recall, they were an old Karbarran fighter that got massacred by the Black Death Destroyers. But anyway, was curious to see if anyone thought that the Sentinels would develop their own uniquely flavoured mecha.

Nimul

My understanding was that there was something inherently wrong with the actual Shadow Technology and that it was Haydonite tech that allowed them to override the UEEF ships/fighters equipped with them. But anyway, I presume that they would either be removing it or trying to find a means of making it...

Robotech Wiki: http://robotech.wikia.com/wiki/Robotech_Saga_Wiki

Nimul

Been a bit curious since I have been reading the old Sentinel comics again. Nice series. But I was curious, were there ever any cases of the Sentinel races uses mecha? You almost never see them amongst those races and I would have expected at least Karbarra to maintain some since it seems to be the ...

Nimul

I encountered this nice piece of fan art on Robotech.com: m This would be an interesting way of bringing in piratical Invid. It would be an interesting way of bringing in Invid-Zentraedi. Captured Zentraedi being transformed into cyborgs and their ships being used as a type of "Supervision Army...

Nimul

I find this to be an intriguing topic actually. On the Tesla front, I think the novels and comics had him captured by the Sentinels where he went down his own forced evolution into a more superior form with an Invid called Obsim in his place on Tirol. The Sentinels pilot had Tesla though on Tirol. B...

Nimul

A typical thing normally seen in governments and militaries is the black ops group. You know, secret agency or military unit designed for covert or "dirty" operations against the enemy. So I was curious, do you think the REF or Earth government has such bodies? Ones that work on internal s...

Nimul

I've been wondering about this for a while and decided to post to gather peoples opinions on the subject. We know that during the Third Robotech War, the REF managed to not only build Shadow Fighters but also Shadow Drones; the latter being robotically controlled mecha. I believe the Robotech Infope...

Nimul

Sorry for resurrecting this but the Haydonites was something I had actually been thinking about. Mostly cause there doesnt appear to be any progress in the Shadow Chronicles storyline sadly Thats some interesting speculation there Tolarin though my own thoughts differ on the subject. It doesnt expla...

Nimul

I've been rewatching the Shadow Chronicles and been hearing the mentions of Shadow technology throughout it and have been wondering more about this. The way its said, it seems that its a unique field and completely different from Robotechnology. So whats special about it? Is it just the Shadow devic...

Nimul

Hiya all, not posted here for a while. Anyway, I have been watching the old Robotech: The Movie again and was wondering how it is/or can be incorporated into the recent stuff. I'm talking about stuff like Garlands, or the MODAT or EVE. I mean its only ever mentioned in the Movie itself and leaves a ...

Nimul

Nimul I am feeling bad for Sheryl as well. It appears she's getting all the bad luck. I just hope this is part of her character arc and not a sign that she's gonna have a very bad ending soon I think I've got a good handle on where Frontier is going and what it's doing, but I'm ...

Nimul

Very interesting, I think Robotech Research also has a take on the Truimviroid and had a nice view that they were deployed but in very limited numbers during the final assault against Earth where they accompanied Invid Fighters. Thought I would mention that but nice take on it I think.

Nimul

Been away for a bit but managed to catch up to all of Macross Frontier now. I quite like the direction Ranka's character has taken though I have to admit that I still am somewhat fond of Sheryl's with the last episode really making me feel sorry for her. I mean her position as a singer is be...

Nimul

Watched episode 10: I find that line about the terrifying truth about the Vajra to be more interesting. I just wonder though where this is going. Anyway was a good episode but primarily it was the whole love triangle between Alto, Ranka and Sheryl so not really that much action. The Hydra thing was ...

Nimul

I thought it was quite good. Especially with the take on the designs of the new Marduk fleet. But I always took it as a mini series to complement the Macross: DYRL movie. What I liked about it though was that it was a struggle between two powers.. it was just cool to see that Marduk attack against ...

Nimul

Yay cool on Macross II being added, I know its not a favourite among Macross fans but I quite enjoyed it. Can't wait to see more added there, are there two types of Gigamesh? I know there was a blue coloured one during the attack on the Macross Cannons. Anyway, can't wait to see more updated there l...

Nimul

Watched the latest one and almost didnt realize it was subbed: Haha this is going to be hilarious with Sheryl now in the same place as Alto. I found it funny that she called him slave and later decided to call him Princess. The poor guy has no shortage on names to be called. This was an entirely hum...

Nimul

Watched the dub and it was excellent. It seems that the Frontier fleet has adapted to the Vajra's communication disruptive abilities as there is mention of a prototype fold space communication system which explains how the ghost drones continued to function as well as the video feed to the Front...

Nimul

I'm not going to assume the Vajra have any connection to the Protoculture until I see more of the show indicating otherwise. There's simply too many unknowns at this point. I'm still thinking that the Vajra may in fact be an enemy from within the New UN Government itself. There's far too many insid...

Nimul

Just watched episode 7, the non subbed version so didnt understand a thing beyond "Captain" so will wait when its subbed to watch it again. Anyway: Was quite interesting and finally we get to see a Vajra capital ship which was quite nasty. Didn't appear to have any personnel in it so i...

Nimul

There was enough space for her to step back but she in fact pressed forward..... Anyway... Just finished the unsub Ep6...... Finally, things are starting to get interesting. Nice simplified lesson on the dynamics of space-fold.... I am betting a weapon based on this theory is going to be made avail...

Nimul

Not wanting to get into a whole "analyse Shadow Chronicles" thing but watched it again and Alex didn't seem to want to eject even; seemingly wanting to take out the Haydonite Wraiths in order to allow the others to escape. Anyway, as for the destabilizers and synchro cannons... I was alway...

Nimul

protoculutre I like the "kabuki" victory pose It's hard to say how the Vajra are ultimately controlled... They do have a brain, however rudimentary, but they appear to have only limited intelligence. Someone has to be giving them orders and organizing them. It could be an external force o...

Nimul

Here comes a lot of spoiler for Ep5 As introduced in ep5, the Vajra are practically brainless. The NUNS suspect someone is controlling the Vajras. As for that person in the OP, likely to be the antagonist or the informer from Galaxy Fleet. Vajra, IMO, seems to be attracted to one of the 3 main lead...

Nimul

Mind you, I suppose one doesnt need capital ships when you are capable of self folding, generating your own missiles and have a weapon capable of blasting apart a capital ship with a single shot. Seems like the mystery of the Vajra keeps getting more interesting... I'm starting to wonder if they mig...

Nimul

Still waiting for a sub for episode 5 but quite enjoyed it so far though I do think that Ranka is wayyyy too young to be a love interest but meh. Anyway, I'm curious about the origins of these Vajra and wonder if the Zentraedi have heard of them.

Nimul

I can't wait for him to update his Robotech Research site as I always check it for the cool stuff he has put up. Wish he would include perhaps ships and stuff into the site as well like those introduced in the comics and stuff but thats something else to consider.

Nimul

quote="MacrossManual"]As are we all. The government also seems to have some kind of prior knowledge of these critters as well. It should be interesting to learn what happens next.[/quote] Well I read some discussions from various Macross fans and noted that the Vajra have the same spiral s...

Nimul

I would really like to see some comics or novels that come out that go from the height of the Tirolian empire, their dealings maybe with the Haydonites, the rise of the Invid, the Zentraedi peacekeeping missions, the fall of the Robotech Masters empire, the occupation of Earth by the Invid and what ...

Nimul

Saw the first episode and looks quite interesting though I am really curious about these Vajra.
