Different Macross storyline for Robotech

[Davros]

I would like to know if anyone has considered creating a different storyline for Macross instead of going with the same storyline when the SDF-1 is ready to begin its 1st voyage and the Zentraedi just happened to show up on that very day.

And with the soon to be released Robotech RPG Tactics games, this might encourage people to re-imagine the storyline for the Macross part.

Please post your ideas here

How about a story featuring a rock and roll band living on a flying city in space, who fight evil space vampires using The Power of Rock and Transforming Mecha controlled with guitars?

Umm..... I guess that's Macross 7, isn't it?

Sorry.

Curious, what kind of alternate story line are you looking for?  The Macross/Robotech story line is really lengthy and opens itself up for loads of fan-created off-shoot missions and adventures.  Or do you mean an entirely different reason for why they're fighting etc?

The obvious easy way to make it all completely different is to introduce the Invid immediately as a third party.  After all Breetai got his facial scar fighting Invid on another world.  Unfortunately we don't have any minis --- and I'm afraid that if Robotech releases a range for the Invid Invasion you'll see it in a different scale as 6mm is almost too small for that kind of stuff.  Invid mecha tend to be a bit on the smaller side.

What are you trying to get out of a new setting?

   I am interested to find out what others did differently in the telling of the Macross story.

Hmmm...personally nothing.  It's a decent story line with such a long time span and a huge area to game in, felt no need to retell something.

   I am interested in seeing what other people have done as creating different or alternate story lines for Macross and the related series.
