(KICKSTARTER) Robotech Tactics

[stone-cold-lead]

I think if they redid the entire series with the old audio and new artwork it'd be pretty slick.

I think it would be great to see a remake of the series but I'd say the audio would also need re-recording as it's a bit corny and dated now.

My new Robotech Complete Series set of DVDs just arrived so I'll be popping disc 1 of 18 into my laptop shortly! Should keep me going for now.

They can't even get enough money and self-motivation to make Shadow Rising.  I can't see a reboot of the series happening.

[Elbows]

Oh, I know it won't happen - just dreaming.  They're pushing forward with a live action movie which will probably ruin the entire franchise.   

[King Tiger]

Is that the same live action movie that's been spoken about for around 5-6 years with no sign of its existence?

[Elbows]

Yep, but a couple months ago Warner Bros. came out and said they're going forward with it- they named the director, someone I didn't recognize.  Thankfully no mention of Toby McGuire or whatever his name is.

[Booboo]

Some recent "movement" on the project.  Still a far way off though.

Elijah Wood would make a great Rick Hunter imo.

[Elbows]

I have never really nailed down a proper Rick Hunter...I had planned out a nice cast for the entire movie at one time.  Rick Hunter was the one I hadn't decided on. 

Part of me thinks now that James Franco could pull it off nicely.

[Booboo]

James Franco has this semi-permanent drunken look to him.  Probably be a better Roy.

[Elbows]

I was going to go a bit "old" with Roy and go with Aaron Eckhart

[Jaeger]

No, no. This is Roy Fokker:



Denis Leary

 

[Elbows]

Nah, Fokker has to be able to be a ladies' man...and Denis Leary is...not.   

[Jaeger]

Heh. But I hobe we can agree upon this lady as Claudia Grant:



On a more serious note: I'm planning a battlefield with scattered debris from a wrecked Zentradi Cruiser. Has anyone got a good Picture of a Zentradi turret with a Veritech or other mecha NeXT to it for size compariosn?

[Elbows]

Jaeger, I can probably dig that up.  I also have all the old RPG books, and while some of the information is pure speculation on Palladium's part - some of them have good info.  The Zentraedi book even has cruiser layouts (I was already planning an interior section of a Zentraedi ship for a convention game in 1/200...so the smaller scale would be even better!)  Let me go take a peak...see what the books say/show.

PS: Netflix just took down Robotech...dammit!  Make up your minds!

[Elbows]

No luck in the books, but I'll be watching the entire Macross saga here shortly.  Surely something flies past one at one point (or along it, when the Veritechs are zipping along the ships in some of the episodes).  I'll let you know.  I do believe the turret should be as big if not bigger than a mecha if that helps.
