What is Robotech?
Robotech is Drama:
Robotech a story of human tenacity and courage in the face of
three different invasions of Earth by three separate but related alien
races. The series details the lives of three generations of men and women
who took up the fight to defend their planet against overwhelming odds
and ultimately triumph.
Robotech is High Technology:
Much of Robotech centers around the development and use of "Robotechnology"
a technology that is discovered when an alien battleship crashes on Earth
in 1999. One of the best known aspects of Robotech is it use of "Mecha."
Mecha are suits of powered armor of varying sizes that are used to combat
alien forces, or used by aliens to battle Earth's humans. Unlike Alien
Mecha, human Mecha is often transformable, allowing extreme versatility when
combating other Mecha.
Robotech is Science Fiction:
The pivotal element of Robotech was a substance called "Protoculture."
Protoculture is an energy that can be extracted from an alien plant called
"The Flower of Life." One of the most interesting aspects of
protoculture is its ability to form a link between man and machine, when
a machine uses protoculture as its power source. The Flower of Life is
only known to grow well on two planets in known space: Earth and a distant
world called Optera.
Robotech is some of the Best and Worst animation drawn:
Most Robotech fans know that the Robotech series is actually a skillful
linking of three similar but unrelated Anime series. The three Anime series
"Super Dimensional Fortress Macross," "Super Dimensional Calvary Southern Cross," and "Genesis Climber Mospeada" were skillfully combined and rewritten to form
a single somewhat coherent sci-fi saga. Unfortunately the quality of the
animation was highly variable. This was not due to the American blending
of the three series, but actually due to some inconsistencies with the
persons doing the animation. The end result was a great deal of mediocre
work broken up by some really impressive pre-computer animation. However,
most fans including myself overlook the bad Anime and focus on the most
interesting story elements, characters and technology.
Robotech is... Addictive:
I don't know what it is about Robotech but even though it can
be stupid at times, it still grabs my attention, even after 10 years. I
am comforted only by knowning that I am not the only one...
Robotech survives:
Although the original series ended quite a while ago (More than
10 years), Robotech lives on in Comic Books, Video Tapes, Syndication,
Models, Role Playing Games, and Web Pages.
