Real-world events

• 25 March - After years of stalling at Warner Brothers Pictures, the Robotech license is taken up by Sony Pictures Entertainment, who see it as a potential franchise.

This decision also brings Robotech into a more mainstream mind-set, as the franchise manages to reach more than day-by-day enthusiasts.
