Hello! Does anyone remember which home video release was the first to include [[Robotech Remastered]] episodes? Was it the ADV Protoculture collection?

what anime was you a fan of but not anymore or your a fan of the og but not new ver of it

Should be be covering the old and new card games? Or would they just count as merchandise given that they're non-narrative?

Have fun!

Hey guys, been done a while. I've done a lot of thinking about how Robotech is changing, how our coverage needs to change, and how we're going to be able to pull this off.

A while ago, User:Corellian Premier suggested to me that our best bet for future coverage would be to add panels to the tops of pages to indicate other versions of the characters (in the chance of a Live-action Reboot or something of the sort). I not only have come to agree with this, but I think that we need to start separating and sorting our pages more clearly.

Thus, I am going to be suggesting that we totally separate some continuities and stories to other pages. For an example of how we would do this, please see how South Park Archives covers stories. Where they have a "Trivia" tab, we'll have a tab entirely for the canon of the Novelisations.

If you need a better visual cue, check out my sandbox.

General

Live Action

Titan

Eternity-Academy

Novels

There's many positives to this. For one, it allows us to cover stories more naturally. Now, every story ever released will have a place. We don't have to nestle stories into behind the scenes sections. We wont have to disqualify stories as "valid" or decide what level of canon they are. If they don't fix with the main-space, we'll put them in their own page.

This is great for fans of, say, the comics from the 1990s. As more Main canon media comes out, most of those stories would have been eliminated. It also means that we'll get to worry less about contradicting accounts; indeed it's annoying try to pretend that The Sentinels comics and Robotech: Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles are meant to truly co-exist. And as more reboots come out, like the new Titan series or the supposed Live Action Movie, we'll already have a system in place for dealing with that "Alternate reality."

I'm opening this thread to hear from what you guys think, even as this space is basically pretty dead currently. I think this system is going to work out great, and I'd love to hear what you guys think.

For screenshots still not in episode categories.

According to what I read at Martin, some of the RPG characters we cover come from short stories within the bindings of the rule books.

I think that while we don't cover RPG rule books and stats because they aren't strictly real narratives, that we could cover and have specific pages on any short stories, if actual mini-narratives as one would presume.

Thoughts?

Anyone gonna check out the new Voltron reboot that just came out on Netflix? Thinking about bingeing some of the older show to get a feel for it (the crossover really made me interested in it all) before I cross over.

The comic license with DC comics had now expired and a new publisher is being looked for interested in buying the rights. According to what I understand, the main contenders have a history of printing Sony-licensed comics.

Any guesses to who these may be?

For those who don't know, DC bought (back) the rights to the Robotech title in the early 2000s as they saw potential and a live-action film was soon planned with Warner Brothers. Within a few years, however, WB had abandoned the project, and DC apparently decided not to renew the contract. Because of this, the right are now moving elsewhere. This could mean more Robotech comics, as other companies might be more willing to produce risky comics from fan favorites.

Comic-Con International 2016 will be held July 20-24 (with Preview Night on July 20) at the San Diego Convention Center.

Forum: Can we use the News and Announcements section of the forum to provide general Robotech news, or should it be Wiki-specific?

i.e. Robotech's Facebook page just posted the following video with some (not really new, but vaguely/kinda) info about the LAM: youtube.com/watch?v=xjkSAkt4bxA

Wiki: While the Robotech RPG and Robotech RPG Tactics material is generally regarded as pretty low on the canon totem-pole, the weapon and equipment loadouts and plenty of measurement-related statistics on the vehicles (height, length, crew size, etc.) are generally pulled from the (at the time) most up-to-date resources. How specific do we want to be in the various mecha/vessel entries with regard to this information?

i.e. The Female Power Armor entry on the wiki lists the weapon loadout like this:

2 x Triple-barreled 64mm grenade launcher

2 x Medium particle cannons

4 x 103mm mini-missile launchers

Do we want to get that specific with things like "64mm" and "triple-barreled"? I'm sure we can get even more crazy with those "tech files" pages featured in some of the comics that have pretty specific equipment/weapon names. Just curious before I add any of this stuff.

For those of you who are new to the editing sphere of the wiki, every few weeks/months we have a board meeting to discuss certain elements of the wikia which need improving or changing. If you have anything that you dislike about our policies or you would like clarified, bring it up here.

I am strongly considering removing the Secondary Canon tags from the Robotech: Invasion, Robotech: Battlecry, and Robotech/Voltron pages. The main reason for this is, despite the fact that the writers have made it clear that these are not things which they consider to be as important as the comics or TV series, our definition of secondary canon is something which has yet to be removed from the canon of Robotech, but isn't qualified by the writers as primary. Battlecry has in fact been referenced many times by the comics in recent years, and will certainly never be removed from the Robotech canon. I would say that it would be better to subjugate only stories before From the Stars with this tag.

If you are absolutely filthy rich and looking to get every darn Robotech comic out there, you got 12 days:

As many of you may know, the trailer for Macross Tria- DELTA, Macross Delta had just been been released. Showing epic fighter battles, new characters, and a promise for some kind of adventure, it has caused quite a stir among fans of anime.

What are your all thoughts? Personally it just doesn't seem to be to my tastes -- I dislike how unoriginal it seems in my head, seeming like literally every anime from the past five years before seeming like Macross. But my cynical thoughts aside, what are all of your thoughts?

Have a good day everyone!

It doesn't look like I'm able to update navigation, so just wanted to point out:

On the Wiki > Forum is correct.

Community > Forum leads to an "archived" version of the forum (Forum:Index).

Number 2 should get updated.

Pretty confident that the Robotech facebook page has started to pull images from our site... I did some colour correction on the Sentinels images, so I know when one is mine... lol :p
