Anime and Manga Portal

Robotech is a science fiction franchise that was launched by an 85-episode adaptation of three different anime television series. Within the combined and edited story, Robotechnology refers to the scientific advances discovered in an alien starship that crashed on a South Pacific island. With this technology, Earth developed giant robotic machines or mecha (many of which were capable of modular transformations) to fight three successive extraterrestrial invasions.^[1]

The original television series (1985)

Robotech was one of the first anime series released in the United States which attempted to include most of the drama of its original Japanese source material. Produced by Harmony Gold USA, Inc. in association with Tatsunoko Prod. Co., Ltd., Robotech is a story adapted with edited content and revised dialogue from the animation of three different mecha anime series: The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, The Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber MOSPEADA. Harmony Gold's cited reasoning for combining these unrelated series was its decision to market Macross for American weekday syndication television, which required a minimum of 65 episodes at the time (thirteen weeks at five episodes per week). Macross and the two other series each had fewer episodes than required, since they originally aired in Japan as weekly series.

This combination resulted in a storyline that spans three generations, as mankind must fight three destructive Robotech Wars in succession over a powerful energy source and "lifeblood" of two different races called "Protoculture":

• The First Robotech War (The Macross Saga) concerns humanity's battle against the Zentraedi, a race of giant warriors who are sent to earth to retrieve the flagship of the Robotech Master Zor. The ship contains the last known source of Protoculture in the universe.

• The Second Robotech War (The Masters) begins when the creators of the Zentraedi, the Robotech Masters, attempt to take up where the Zentraedi left off, and capture the protoculture held within the remains of the SDF-1.

• The Third Robotech War (The New Generation) occurs after the alien Invid have been alerted to the existence of Protoculture on Earth by events that transpired at the end of the Second Robotech War. The planet is conquered, then enslaved, and it is up to the Robotech Expeditionary Force (and the Earth rebels) to retake their home planet.

On some television stations, the syndicated run was preceded by the broadcast premiere of Codename: Robotech, a feature-length pilot.

Home video

Following the original broadcast, the series enjoyed popularity on home video in VHS and DVD formats from the following distributors:

For more information, see Robotech (TV series): Home Video Release

• Family Home Entertainment (VHS, Laserdisc) (First six-tape run of The Macross Saga was heavily edited, with roughly 38 minutes of footage cut from each six-episode tape. The episode "Private Time" was almost entirely removed, with only a few minutes of the beginning and end being shown.)
• Palladium Books (VHS)
• Streamline Pictures (VHS, Laserdisc)
• ADV Films (DVD Region 1 — North America)
• Manga Entertainment (DVD Region 2 — UK)
• Madman Entertainment (DVD Region 4 — Australia)
• FUNimation Entertainment (DVD Region 1 — USA) (Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles — Release date: 02/06/2007)
• Guangdong Qianhe Audio & Video (DVD Region 6 — China) (Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles — Release date: 08/20, 2007)

Animated sequels and spinoffs

Harmony Gold has attempted to produce several follow ups to the original series over the years, but with mixed success to this date.

Robotech: The Movie (1986)

Also called Robotech: The Untold Story, this theatrical film was the first new Robotech adventure created after the premiere of the original series. It used footage from the Megazone 23 Part 1 OVA (Original Video Animation, or made-for-video animated feature) spliced with Southern Cross, and had only a tenuous link to the television series. The movie disappeared from the United States after a failed test run in Texas. Harmony Gold relinquished their license to Megazone 23 after director Carl Macek washed his hands of the project.

Robotech II: The Sentinels (1987, canceled)

This aborted American-produced series would have followed the continuing adventures of Rick and Lisa Hunter and the Robotech Expedition during the events of The Robotech Masters and The New Generation. The feature-length pilot is comprised of the first three (and only) episodes that were produced. Being a sequel/spinoff to the combined series, The Sentinels featured characters from all three Robotech sagas and introduced the SDF-3 along with an overview of their new mission. The series was planned to have total of 65 episodes.

In Robotech Art 3: The Sentinels, director Carl Macek blamed the cancellation of the series on the crash of the Yen/Dollar exchange rate^[2], which caused toy partner Matchbox to withdraw from the project due to the increased cost. Since Harmony Gold lacked the funds to produce the series on its own, production ceased after only three episodes.

Efforts to petition the completion of this series have gone nowhere, but much of the completed footage—re-edited and rewritten as a feature-length production—was released on VHS by Palladium Books and on DVD by ADV Films. The completed episodes have never been released in their original form.

Robotech III: The Odyssey (proposed)

Producer Carl Macek revealed ideas for another proposed series, Robotech III: The Odyssey, which would have created a circular storyline that would end where the original Robotech began in a giant 260-episode cycle to fill up all the weekdays in a year. According to Macek, The Odyssey would have revealed Lynn Minmei to be the mother of Zor, making Minmei the focal point of Robotech.^[3] After the failure of Sentinels, Odyssey never went into development, though its ideas were worked into the Jack McKinney novel The End of the Circle.

Robotech IV and V (planned)

Fan publication Macross Life interviewed Harmony Gold executive Richard Firth in 1986, where he revealed that Robotech creator Carl Macek had "plans through ROBOTECH 5, which would give us an episode for each day of the year for a year and a half." He also said that these two installments would have brought the series to 285 episodes. Regarding the plot, Firth mentioned a "retired Commodore Hunter, whom ever that may be, could very well be speaking at the graduation of the later day cadets or whatever, and they ask him to tell them the story all over again: it comes back [to the first episode of the series]."

It should be noted that Carl Macek himself has never mentioned Robotech IV or V in any interviews or writings.

Robotech 3000 (2000, cancelled)

Carl Macek attempted another sequel with the development of Robotech 3000. This all-CGI series would have been set a millennium in the future of the Robotech universe and feature none of the old series' characters. In the three-minute trailer, an expedition is sent to check on a non-responsive mining outpost and is attacked by "infected" Veritech mecha. Again, the idea was abandoned midway into production after negative reception within the company, negative fan reactions at the FanimeCon anime convention in 2000, and financial difficulties within Netter Digital who was animating the show. It now exists only in trailer form on the official Robotech website.

Robotech UN Public Service Announcement (2005)

A sixty-second public service announcement for the 60th anniversary of the United Nations, featuring Scott Bernard and Ariel, was animated during the production of The Shadow Chronicles. Although it did not use the original voice actors and the dialogue was somewhat out-of-character, it nonetheless marked the first fully-completed Robotech footage in many years.

Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles (2006)

In 2002, Tommy Yune announced development of a new sequel movie, which was not named until 2004 as Robotech: Shadow Force. The storyline overlaps with and continues from the unresolved ending of the original series. The title of the story-arc was soon changed to Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles. The first trailers with finished animation were shown at Anime Expo and Comic-Con International in 2005. It was not until February 2006, when Kevin McKeever, operations coordinator at Harmony Gold, was able to confirm that the pilot movie had been completed. After a series of delays, FUNimation Entertainment was finally announced as the home video, broadcast, and theatrical distributor at the 2006 Comic-Con International in San Diego. Harmony Gold premiered the movie at various film festivals in 2006, and it was first seen by a public audience at MechaCon in August 9 2006, where it was showcased as a charity screening to help raise funds for the ongoing Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita recovery effort. A limited theatrical run followed in January 2007, and the film was released the DVD on February 6, 2007.^[4] A 2-disc collector's edition was released in November 2007.^[5]

Robotech: Shadow Rising

On July 27, 2007, at their Comic-Con International panel, Harmony Gold and Robotech director Tommy Yune unveiled the second entry of the Shadow Chronicles production, titled Robotech: Shadow Rising which will be another feature movie. Pre-production reportedly began and a projected release date of sometime in 2009 was originally expected.^[6] However, subsequent announcements in mid-2008 have made it clear that little-or-no progress has been made on the film, and it has been indefinitely postponed, pending developments with the live-action film.

Unofficial and parody productions

In the 1990s, Seishun Shitemasu, an anime fandubbing group, produced the parodies "Robotech III: Not Necessarily the Sentinels" and "Robotech IV: Khyron's Counterattack," using footage from, respectively, Gunbuster/Aim For The Top! and Gundam: Char's Counterattack, continuing the tradition of the original Robotech's adaptation of unrelated anime series into a single continuity.

Proposed live-action film

On September 7, 2007, the Hollywood Reporter stated that Warner Bros. had acquired the film rights to Robotech and would be producing a live-action film with an as-yet-unknown release date.^[7] Tobey Maguire is producing the film through his Maguire Entertainment banner and is pursuing the lead role in what the studio plans on being a tentpole sci-fi franchise.

We are very excited to bring Robotech to the big screen. There is a rich mythology that will be a great foundation for a sophisticated, smart and entertaining film.

—Tobey Maguire , ^[7]

In an interview,^[8] Harmony Gold representative Kevin McKeever said that Warner Brothers had approached Harmony Gold about the project, that Harmony Gold would have "a say" in its creative direction, and that it was not expected to affect the production schedule for Shadow Rising. He was unable to confirm any details of budget, casting, expected release date, or storyline, explaining that it was too early in the life of the project for these things to have been decided.

In June 2008, it was reported that Lawrence Kasdan (Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Bodyguard) had been hired to write the film, with Charles Roven (Afro Samurai, Get Smart, The Dark Knight) and Akiva Goldsman joining Tobey Maguire as producers.^[9]

During the Robotech Panel at Anime Expo 2008, the involvement of Tobey Maguire and Lawrence Kasdan was confirmed, with Kasdan writing the script for the live action movie. Tommy Yune also revealed that the movie is planned as a re-imagining of the original Robotech universe (with new updated mecha and character designs) and will take place several years in the future, departing from the original cartoon's 2009 setting. ^[10]

As of November 2008, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (who both worked in Smallville, Spider-Man 2, Herbie: Fully Loaded, and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) are the set writers for the film.^[11]

Due to undisclosed reasons producer Charles Roven is currently no longer working on the proposed film adaptation of the Robotech animated series. Roven also announced that he wishes the remaining producers, Akiva Goldsman and Tobey Maguire, "fantastic luck" on the project.^[12]

The Mania.com website reported recently that British television writer and novelist Tom Rob Smith "has taken over writing duties" for the proposed film adaptation of the Robotech animated series. Smith wrote for the British soaps Family Affairs and Bad Girls before writing a critically acclaimed crime suspense novel called Child 44. Smith will be the fourth writer or writing team to be reportedly attached to the upcoming film's pre-production.^[13]

Robotech (Harmony Gold) chronology

The Robotech chronology, according to Harmony Gold, is illustrated below:

For a more detailed timeline, see Robotech Wars

Note: Asterisked works are now considered "secondary continuity" — that is, that their events exist in the continuity of Robotech, but "don't count" when conflicts arise with the "main continuity" that are the three-part Robotech TV series (four, with the addition of 2006's Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles).

In 2002, with the publication of the Wildstorm (DC) comics, Harmony Gold officially decided to retcon the Robotech Universe. The following Robotech material is now relegated to the status of secondary continuity:

• The Sentinels in all its incarnations.
• Robotech: The Movie (which, in the strictest sense, never was canon)
• Robotech comics published by Comico, Eternity, Academy, and Antarctic Press.
• Robotech RPGs published by Palladium Books.
• Robotech novels written by Jack McKinney, most notably The End of the Circle.

While these materials are not precisely "retired" or "removed" from the continuity, their events are subject to critical review, and are strictly subordinate to the "official" events of the 85-episode animated series. Although certain events in the new feature film (i.e., the final showdown at Reflex Point) proceed in a slightly different fashion from the original Robotech series, such disparities were intentionally introduced by the Harmony Gold producers, but are still considered canonical.

The Robotech franchise

At the time of its broadcast, Harmony Gold also launched Robotech through a popular line of comics to be followed by novels, role-playing games, toys, and other consumer products. With the cancellation of Robotech II: The Sentinels, many of these licensed products were discontinued, and led to a drought of Robotech product through much of the 1990s, except for publishers who continued the The Sentinels storyline in print.

Robotech art books

In 1986, Starblaze Graphics published Robotech Art 1, a reference book containing artwork, Japanese production designs, and episode guides from the original television series. This was followed by Robotech Art 2, which was largely a collection of art by various American artists and fans. In 1988, Carl Macek collected much of the unused designs from Robotech II: The Sentinels into Robotech Art 3: The Sentinels, which also included his story outline for the rest of the unfinished series, with an explanation behind its cancellation. In 2007, Stone Bridge Press published The Art of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles.

Robotech comics

Robotech comics were first published in 1984 with DC Comics' short-lived Robotech Defenders and Comico's adaptation of the first episode of the Japanese version of Macross. However, the first adaptation of the Robotech television series did not arrive until 1985 with Comico's Robotech: The Macross Saga Number 2, which continued from the first Macross issue.

The various comic publishers include:

• Comico (1984-1989)
• Eternity Comics (1988-1994)
• Academy Comics (1994-1996)
• Antarctic Press (1997-1998)
• Wildstorm (DC) (2002-present)

Robotech collectible card game

The first Robotech collectible card game was released in 2006 by Hero Factory, which had previously produced Robotech trading cards.

Robotech music and soundtracks

Various Robotech soundtracks have been released on records, cassettes, and compact discs since 1988.

• Robotech: BGM Collection, Vol.1 (1988)
• Robotech: Perfect Collection (1988)
• Robotech: Perfect Soundtrack Album (1996)
• Robotech: Battlecry Soundtrack (2002)
• Robotech: Invasion Soundtrack (2004)
• Robotech: The Original Soundtrack (2005)
• Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles Soundtrack (2007)

Robotech novelizations

Since 1987, Robotech was adapted into novel form by "Jack McKinney," a pseudonym for the team of James Luceno and the late Brian Daley, a pair of writers who had been working with Macek since they had collaborated on the animated series Galaxy Rangers. Using fictitious epigraphs in the style of Dune, McKinney's novels fleshed out the chronology (including adapting the incomplete Sentinels source material) in far greater detail than the original animation. Many Robotech fans consider the McKinney series to be an unofficial canon of its own, despite notable divergences in the writing from Harmony Gold's current official animation-based canon. Despite no longer being considered core-continuity by Harmony Gold, the novels have been recently re-issued by Del Rey Books as Omnibus compilations.

Robotech role-playing games

In 1986, Palladium Books published a role-playing game based on the Robotech series. The successful run also included RPG books covering The Sentinels. Contractual issues in the wake of Harmony Gold's aborted Robotech 3000 project, as well as a general refocusing of the company on production of its flagship Rifts line, caused Palladium to eventually forgo renewing the Robotech license. The Robotech RPG line went out of print as of June 30, 2001. In 2007, Harmony Gold and Palladium Books worked out a new agreement to produce a Robotech RPG supplement to The Shadow Chronicles. A press release from Palladium Books addresses their recently (Sept 2007) renewed contract. Robotech The Shadow Chronicles RPG was released March 21 2008.

Robotech toys

3 3/4 inch action figures of the 3 Robotech generations were initially released in 1985 by Matchbox toy company, but then reissued in 1992 by Harmony Gold (Lunk and Corg were only released by Matchbox and Lynn Minmei was only released by Harmony Gold).

6" figures were released in 1985 also by Matchbox. All of these figures were from the first generation and were of Zentraedi characters only. These figures were supposed to represent the size difference between the Humans and the giant Zentraedi forces, but to be correct these figures would had to have been made about 20 inches tall. None of the figures came with weapons but the Armoured Zentraedi came with a removable helmet.

Also many toys depicting the vehicles and mecha from the series were released in 1985 by Matchbox , in 1992 by Harmony Gold and in 1994 by Playmates (under the Exosquad line). There were major differences in packaging, toy stickers and colors between the different releases. The vehicles were designed to be used only with the 3 3/4" figures. The SDF-1 Playset was only released under the Matchbox line in the 80s and could be used with both the 3 3/4" and 6" figures.

Since late 1990s there has been a resurgence of Robotech related toys. First Robotech generation and Macross toys were released early on and continue to be released by Yamato, Bandai, and Toynami in various scales. Starting in 2007, third Robotech generation toys were being released by CM Corporation and Toynami most notably the Beta fighter.

Robotech video games

Robotech spawned five video game licenses, of which the most recent three were released:

• Robotech: Crystal Dreams for the Nintendo 64 game system. This was aborted when its publisher, Gametek, went under in 1998. The game would have taken place during the period between the SDF-1's destruction and the launch of the SDF-3. The game had a Zentraedi invasion during what was scripted in the series as a period of peace.

• Robotech: Battlecry (2002) for the Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation 2, and Nintendo Nintendo GameCube. The gameplay takes place in the Macross era, and features a storyline running exactly concurrent with that era's historical events. Multiplayer support is limited to one-on-one. Several of the voice actors from the original series, including Tony Oliver, Melanie MacQueen, Dan Woren, and Cam Clarke, reprised their original roles, or voiced new characters in this game. The game was a relative success, even though many fans complained of the over-cartoonified look of the game.

• Robotech: The Macross Saga (2002) for the Game Boy Advance, a side-scrolling shooter that resembles the Japanese Super Famicom game Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie.

• Robotech: Invasion (2004) for the Microsoft Xbox and the Sony PlayStation 2. First/third person shooter. The gameplay covers the New Generation part of the story, with support for single player missions and multiplayer online matches. Features Cyclones, transformable body armor/motorcycles. As with Battlecry, several of the original voice actors reprised their roles.

• Robotech: The New Generation (2007) for mobile phones. A top-down scrolling shooter that covers the New Generation part of the story, leading up to the Shadow Chronicles. The player can play as one of three characters (Scott, Rook and Rand), each with their own special weapons. The player also has the ability to change into "Battloid Mode" through the collection of Protoculture. Robotech: The New Generation features famous music from the TV series, as well as the most evil of all the villains.

Effect

Robotech had a similar effect in other places of the world, including Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Greece, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Serbia and the Philippines. In China, during the summer of 2004, it was awarded "Best Robot-themed Anime of all time" by the Cartoon Channel of China Education Television. It is highly likely that someone growing up in any of those countries during the 1980s watched at least some of its episodes (However, Robotech did not start its broadcast in China until 1991). As in the US, it helped continue a slow but continuous rise in the consumption of anime.^[14]

That said, Robotech is often an extremely polarizing subject amongst anime fans. Some critics look down upon the show for its extensive edits to the source material (Westernizing character names, editing for content and chiefly, forging a connection between previously-unrelated series), to the extent that the most ardent detractors compare it to Woody Allen's camp Japanese movie re-dub What's Up, Tiger Lily?). Series writer/actor Greg Snegoff said in an interview on the now-defunct Shadow Chronicles News fansite that, "afterwards, we received compliments from the Japanese who thought our dialogue and stories were better than the original" and Protoculture Addicts magazine reports in a Robotech fifth-anniversary article that those compliments came from the production company Tatsunoko. However, Animag magazine (issue 11) and Animerica magazine (issue 9, volume 4) reports that the original Macross creators at Studio Nue and Artland, such as story creator Shoji Kawamori and chief director Noboru Ishiguro, expressed their concern over the Robotech adaptation, and surprise on its differences.^[15]

In an effort to combine the storylines of three different Japanese series, certain characters underwent drastic role changes, with little explicit character development or plot exposition. Notably, Rick Hunter (one of the main characters of the Macross segment) was changed — by a line of dialogue — from an ordinary-yet-pivotal fighter-unit commander into an unseen admiral, who is said to have ordered the destruction of Earth under the controversial rationale of saving it from the enemy. The line by General Reinhardt (unnamed in the original television series) in command aboard the SDF-4 in the episode "Dark Finale" was, "I've been ordered by Admiral Hunter himself to obliterate the planet completely."

In addition, it could be argued that the need for 65 episodes did not necessarily require a combined storyline; adaptations like Voltron coupled two unrelated Japanese series without directly combining the storylines. (A year later, 20 additional Voltron episodes and a crossover special were created for American audiences by Toei Animation, after the first daily run of 104 episodes.)^[16][17][18]

Shortly after completing Robotech, Carl Macek would make the less-well-known Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years in a similar fashion by combining two Leiji Matsumoto series, Captain Harlock and Queen Millennia, together and altering the storyline significantly. In this case, however, the two anime series were spliced together in a manner where the stories of the characters occurred simultaneously, not one after the other.

In 2009, IGN ranked Robotech as the 34th greatest animated show of all time in their Top 100 list.^[19]

Rick: Stand back. I'm gonna blast my way in to the building. Are you ready? Here I come.

(Window breaks and Lisa gasps.)

Rick: Come on. Move it!

Lisa: I'm not leaving this room. I don't know why you're here but you can leave right now.

Rick: Is it something I said?

Lisa: Go away!

"1 minute to meltdown. 1 min."

Rick: I have no idea what's happening here but my life is at stake now, too. So come on!

Lisa: I'm not leaving.

Rick: No way! You have to come.

Lisa: Leave me alone. No. Put me down!

Rick: Grr...

Claudia: 30 secs. to explosion. Get out of there, Rick!

Lisa: Ugh..RIBER!

Therefore, I'm pleased to award them the titanium medal of valor for their distinguished service. Gentlemen, we proudly acknowledge your achievements.

RDF Female Officer: In each of you gentlemen, please step forward as I call your name, 1st Lt. Justin Black, please.

Rick: It's a dream. It's gotta be dream. If that medal looks real? Hmm. Hey. Boy, what a surprise. Now that was something.

Roy: Hey, little brother.

Rick: Huh?

Roy: Hold on a minute. Let's you & I have a little talk in my room.

Rick: What a great ceremony that was.(Roy Agrees) So, What's up Roy?

Roy: Have a seat.

Rick: Huh? Oh. OK. What you got?

Roy: Ah. Just another medal you have to get used to.

Rick: Huh?

Roy: You've been promoted, Little Brother. From now on you're a Lieutenant. Improved your leadership capabilities under fire. Put it on next to your award.

Rick: Oh, sure.

Roy: Oh & by the way. There is one other thing.

Rick: Wow! What else is there?

Roy: I'm assigning two subordinates to your command. [Video screen shows faces of the RDF soldiers]

Female Voice: This is Corporal Ben Dixon. He has 378 hours in simulation and 66 hours of flight time. He is Class A. This is Corporal Maximillian Sterling. He has 320 hours in simulation and 50 hours of flight time. He's also Class A.

Rick: Hey, Roy. What gives? Uhh...I don't get it. Those guys are both just beginners.

Roy: Well, Rick. You're not a lot different than them.

Rick:But Roy, I've got lot more experience.

Roy: Now the files are here and I want you to study them. There's also a manual for you that contains all the official things you need to know about being a Lieutenant. [someone knocks on door] I guess that must be them. Come in. Reporting as ordered. This man will be your new commanding officer from now on. He's Lt. Rick Hunter and he's quite a good fighter pilot. In fact, he is just awarded the Titanium Medal.

Ben: I'm honored to be serving under your command, Lt. Hunter. Corp. Ben Dixon reporting & while I'm around I assure nothing will go wrong.

Maximillian: Umm...Glad were going to be on the same team. I'm Corp. Max Sterling, sir. Call me Max. I'm very inexperienced & might be needing a lot of help.

Rick: Well, I'm please to meet ya'.

Ben & Maximillian: Yes, Sir.

Episode 9: Miss Macross

Ben: Did you hear about Minmei being in that Ms. Macross beauty pageant?

Max: Say what? Minmay's entered a beauty pageant?

Ben: Yeah, Believe me or not, Lt. Hunter said our squadron wouldn't have to work Saturday night. So, I'm going.

Max: You mean it?

Ben: Yeah, he said he wanted a big turnout to cheer for Minmei.

Max: Umm...maybe he's just in love or something.

Ben: He's what? In love? (chuckling)Hey maybe you're right. That can make you crazy.(Laughing)

Rick: Ms. What? Macross? I wish you haven't entered that.

Minmay: The mayor had entered me without even asking.

Roy: Don't tell me you're jealous?

Rick: I guess I'm acting kind of stupid, aren't I?

Episode 10: Blind Game

Episode 11: First Contact

[At the Zentraedi main base, Dolza, Breetai, Exedore and spies Rico, Bron, and Konda are questioning Rick, Lisa, and Ben]

Dolza: [with Lisa in his grip] And now, my feisty female, I want to know by what process you become Micronians. Answer me at once [grips Lisa tighter; Lisa squeals]

Rick Hunter: Stop squeezing her! We're born into this world as Micronians.

Dolza: Born you say?

Exedore Formo: Yes, but born from what is the question?

Rick: From our mothers, what do you think?

Konda: What is this thing, 'mothers'?

Ben Dixon: It's the parent who's female!

Exedore: You don't mean you are actually born from these females?

Ben: Look, it's just like the birds and the bees; it's just a process of nature. When a male and a female love each other, it just happens.

Breetai: This 'love', what is it? How do you express it?

Ben: Well, by kissing one another.

Dolza: It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?

Rick: What? You can't be serious, there's no way I'm gonna kiss him!

Episode 12: The Big Escape

Lisa: You must be joking! I won't do it.

Ben: But, Commander.

Lisa: I mean it, Ben. I'm serious. I won't kiss him. He made of that absolutely ridiculous scheme just because he wants to kiss me. I know I maybe naive but I'm not stupid.

Rick: Just a minute. You think you're so attractive I scheming up a way to kiss. I wouldn't think of kissing you unless they it were life or death.

Lisa: Well.

Episode 13: Blue Wind

[Lisa Hayes, Rick Hunter, Max Sterling, and Ben Dixon report to Captain Gloval about their captivity.]

Capt. Gloval: Please continue your report, Cmdr. Hayes. Do you really think they have that many ships?

Lisa: Yes sir, at least that many and possibly more.

Capt. Gloval: Truly.

Rick: Yes sir. That many.

Capt. Gloval: Based on all combined reports, our computers placed a total of somewhere of four and five million ships.

Col. Maestroff: That's ridiculous.

Capt. Gloval: Gentlemen, let's hear the entire briefing before discussing it.

Lisa: In the course of our captivity, we'd observed that the aliens have absolutely no contact with human emotions. They've been groomed entirely for war and their societies organized along purely military lines. It appears that they have increased their body size & strength artificially through genetic manipulation & that they also have the ability to reverse the process. While they examined us, they continued to referred to something they called protoculture.

Episode 18: Farewell, Big Brother

[Rick is recovering in a hospital from his wounds sustained at the last battle. Lisa visits him]

Rick Hunter: Well, look who's here. Hey, what a lone face. She'd come to bury Caesar?

Lisa Hayes: Hello, Rick. I came to about to say that I'm sorry.

Rick: You!? You came out here to apologize? To apologize for what for Pete's sake.

Lisa: For you being here. We both know that it was my instructions that were responsible for you being seriously injured.

Rick: Lisa, you weren't responsible. I had no one to blame for this but myself. I'm here because I made a mistaken judgment & for no other reason. OK.

Lisa: Thanks for your generosity.

Rick: What's happened to your old command confidence? This isn't like you at all.

Lisa: No, Lt. Hunter; I don't suppose it is of that. Anyway, I said what I came to say. Now I had to get back to my duties on the bridge. Get Well.

Rick: Thanks, Lisa. You think we'll see each other again?

Lisa: I don't think so, Rick. I'll be too busy.

[Roy is at Claudia's quarters, where she's preparing a pineapple salad for dinner and he's strumming a guitar]

Claudia Grant: I don't think you'd realize how terrified I'd get everytime you fly off on a combat mission. It's almost as if you pilots think that it's some kind of wonderful game when you're off on those Veritechs.

Roy Fokker: It's never been a game, Claudia. Maybe someday you'll understand that.

Claudia: Anyway, I've said what I had in my mind and I promised I'll keep my mouth shut about it in the future. [turns to Roy and holds finished pineapple salad high] Dinner's ready. [sees Roy not strumming guitar while putting salad on table] What? Well, don't tell me I put you to sleep. Is anything wrong?

Roy: Oh. Ohhhh... [slumps from sofa]

Claudia: Roy? [gasps upon seeing wounds] ROY!?!? [cries]

Episode 19: Bursting Point

Rick Hunter: Lisa, tell Captain Gloval we lost Ben Dixon back there.

Lisa Hayes: Rick, I'm so sorry... The people of this ship are grateful; but they'll never truly comprehend all that you've gone through for them.

Episode 20: Paradise Lost

[Captain Gloval announces the news of the SDF-1's forced departure from Earth]

Captain Gloval: This is Captain Gloval speaking with a very important announcement to all of you on board the SDF-1. As many of you may already know, ever since we returned to Earth, I have appealed many times to the government and the Defence Forces for permission to allow you to leave this ship and resettle wherever you may choose. Time and again, those appeals were turned down and I wish I could explain it to you at this time. However, I always felt that progress was being made on those requests. That is, until the events of the past few weeks. My friends, I'm afraid I have some very bad news to tell you. I've received word just a while ago that this ship and all of its passengers have been ordered to leave the Earth immediately. Furthermore, if we do not evacuate the Earth, we were warned that we might be attacked by elements of our own Defense Forces. This is an unthinkable possibility. We have therefore taken on supplies and are prepared to leave the surface of the planet. I desperately need all of your cooperation in this moment of terrible responsibility. We must all work so that they, the Earth, will take us back and until then, we will survive as best we can. I give you my most humble apology. [breaks down]

Lynn Minmei: [goes to his side] Oh....Listen everyone, the Captain needs our support more than ever right now! Look, I don't understand anything that has to do with politics, but I do know the only way we'll survive this is to pull together. We've been together in this ship for a long time now, and I don't know about you, but I think of the SDF-1 as my home now. Don't forget, this ship has almost everything we have back on Earth, our own town and all the things that go along with it. We've all been through quite a bit, but look at how strong we've become because of it. I have more friends here than I ever did on Earth. You've been like a big family to me. Someday we'll come back to Earth - we'll never give up hope. But for now, I'm proud to be a citizen of Macross City and this ship.

Episode 21: A New Dawn

[While trapped during a temporary SDF-1 transformation]

Rick Hunter: You kwow, I feel helpless as a caged animal.

Lisa Hayes: Yeah, Mr. and Mrs. Monkey, watching people go by.

Rick: I'm glad I'm here with you.

Lisa: You're not so bad yourself.

Rick: [surprised] Really?

Lisa: Yeah. After today, I have a feeling I can get to like you.

Rick: That's funny, because I was thinking exactly the same thing.

[After arriving outside Lisa's quarters]

Lisa Hayes: We're almost there.

Rick Hunter: Yes, I guess I should be going. I'd better get back to the barracks before they think I've gone and jumped ship. [tries to walk away, but Lisa couldn't let go of his hand]

Lisa: Rick, do you have to run off so soon? I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you were with another officer. [saunters up to Rick] Anyway, I'd like for you to stay.

Rick: Well...I really like that.

Voice-over: And so a new romance blossoms aboard the ship. Two people reaching out for love in different directions only to find that what they wanted was as close as the touch of their fingertips. However, it's a hard life in the military, especially at wartime and whether or not Rick and Lisa could make their relationship work remains to be seen.

Episode 24: Show Down

Episode 25: Wedding Bells

[Max Sterling sets up a date with Zentraedi ace Miriya Parino at the Macross City Park after defeating her at an arcade game in the previous episode.]

Max Sterling: Geez, it's getting late. I hope she's all right. I can't believe I asked her to meet me here, in the park. A girl, at night - she could get mugged or something...

Miriya: [appears from the bushes] Maximillian, prepare for your doom!

Max: Miriya, there you are. It's nice to see you could make it. Huh? [Miriya throws the knife and Max screams] Hey, are you crazy?

Miriya: I am Quadrano Leader Miriya Parina, Zentraedi Air Force.

Max: There goes our first date.

Miriya: You're such a fool! Fight for your life!

Max: My life!? But why attack me?

Miriya: I will have my revenge!

Max: I'm afraid I don't know what this is all about. What do you mean revenge? If you're a Zentradi, I understand why you must fight - but why do you want revenge?

Miriya: I have reasons!!!

[Miriya attacks & Max evades]

Max: What have I done?

Miriya: Time and again, you've made me like a fool. I am the Zentraedi's greatest pilot and will not be humiliated by a Micronian. The first time you were lucky; the second was your final victory. Nothing can save you now - I will defeat you!

[Max tries to escape but trips. Miriya leaps in the air, trying to kill him but Max blocks her attack]

Max: Gotta get that knife.

Miriya: It's no use. You're no match for me. You may be a great man, but what is man compared to a Zentraedi?

Max: [picks up own knife and readies for duel]And now we shall see! [Knife fight; Max succeeds in disarming Miriya by knocking her knife away, and holds her at bay at knifepoint, the blade extended within an inch of her face] I guess I win again.

Miriya: I lost to you again! This is a shame I cannot endure. [Closes eyes, sinks to her knees on the ground. She bows her head and a tear courses down her cheek:] End my life...please.

Maximillian: Huh?

Miriya: Please do it now. [sheds tear]

Maximillian: But I...but I couldn't. You're so...so beautiful. [touches chin with fingers so Miriya can look up to him. They float around before embracing] This is gonna sound crazy but...will you marry me?

Miriya: 'Marry'? What's 'marry'?

Maximillian: It's something that no words can describe. Miriya, it's love, and that's the most beautiful thing there is.

Episode 26: The Messenger

[As the motorcade carrying Exedore Formo passes Macross City's commercial district]

Col. Maestroff: This is our shopping district.

Exedore Formo: Ah yes, this is where I believe you use something called "money" to require goods.

Col. Maestroff: Yes, that's correct.

[The group passes a large lingerie ad. Exedore cringes at the sight]

Exedore: Grr!!! The picture in that building over there. Would you mind explaining it to me?

[After Exedore tells the humans that the main Zentraedi fleet is on its way to the solar system]

Captain Gloval: All right, it seems we have such an important decision to make. Whether or not Earth can survive the attack, only time will tell.

Col. Maestroff: We'll give it our best shot.

Lynn Kyle: You're crazy. A FLEET OF ALMOST FIVE MILLION!?!? There's no way we can fight them off. We're finished... [sulks with Minmei comforting him]

Episode 27: Force Of Arms

[Minmei and Rick turn around to see Earth on fire after the Zentraedi unleash a plasma barrage]

Rick: The whole planet!

Minmay: Are they all destroyed?

Rick: Probably.

Minmay: Oh no! Mother. Father.

Rick: Lisa.

Minmay: So this is how we end. First, the Earth then the rest of us.

Rick: No, Minmay, this is not the end. We still have our lives. It's not over yet. Listen, Minmay I want you to do something for me. I want you to go now & sing for everyone.

Minmay: To sing?

Rick: Yes. I think I got an idea.

[Rick rescues Lisa from the ruins of the Alaska Base.]

Lisa: Thank you, Rick.

Rick: Sure. Well I guess I sort of disobeyed your orders again, didn't I?

Lisa: Yeah, That's alright. I was just thinking about how fortunate I am that you came back just when you did & about how much I admire you.

Rick: Of course.

Lisa: It looks like the fighting stopped.

Rick: Yeah.

Lisa: I wonder if there's anyone else around.

Rick: What do you mean?

Lisa: Well we might be the only survivors. It'll be sad to think that we're the only ones left.

Rick: That wouldn't be too bad, would it?

Lisa: What?

Rick: At least you'll never be alone.

Lisa: Oh, Rick.

Rick: Do you hear what I hear?

Lisa: It's... Minmei

Rick: Then the SDF-1 survived. [Sees SDF-1 landing] What a sight for sore eyes.

Lisa: You can say that again.

Rick: C'mon. Let's go.

Lisa: Okay.

Episode 36: To The Stars

[Claudia just found Lisa in a balcony aboard the SDF-1.]

Claudia Grant: Admiral Gloval sent me to look for you, why aren't you on the bridge?

Lisa Hayes: I needed to be alone, I'm thinking about resigning.

Claudia: Huh? You must be joking!

Lisa: No, I'm serious, Claudia. I just can't take it anymore. The army, Rick...

Claudia: Oh Lisa.

Lisa: I'm giving up. I'm just not as tough as everybody thinks I am.

Claudia: Come on, Lisa, you're not fooling anybody but yourself.

Lisa: What?

Claudia: Quit talking like some silly simpering schoolgirl. You're a military woman, born, bred, and trained and you're too much of a scrapper to give up like this without a fight!

Lisa: There's no use fighting...if Rick prefers Minmei than me, then that's just the way it is and there's nothing I can do about it.

Claudia: But the military is your life, Lisa. You can't be serious about resigning your commission!

Lisa: Yes I am. I have to get away.

Claudia: You mean run away.

Lisa: I couldn't work with Rick and watch him go home everyday to Minmei. You understand, don't you?

Claudia: Yes.

[After Minmei says goodbye when Rick rescues Lisa.]

Lisa: Rick, what about the mission? All of our battle cruisers have been destroyed. How can we get to the stars?

Rick: We'll build the SDF-3 Lisa, and together we'll get there. Yeah. We're going to the stars and beyond. I promise you that, Lisa.

Lisa: We will. Yes, we will we're going to the stars and beyond.
