Robotech

The year is 2044. The people of Earth are finally free from their alien occupiers and prepare to search for Admiral Hunter's missing fleet. But a deadly new adversary threatens to test the limits of the Expeditionary Force's use of Shadow Technology... Included here is everything fans are looking for - series history, plot, character, and mecha guides, plus page after page of detailed film art and drawings - assembled by the film's director and other production insiders.

Robotech is a sweeping science-fiction anime epic of humans defending their home world against alien domination. The saga is told through the eyes of characters caught up in a series of wars that erupts when a mysterious spacecraft crash-lands on Earth at the turn of the millennium. The secrets of alien knowledge aboard this vessel were unlocked, leading to the development of "Robotechnology" and the creation of a vast arsenal of robotic "mecha" to defend the Earth against the alien threats that would eventually strike to lay claim to the mysterious power source known as "protoculture."

When a mysterious space battleship crashes onto Macross Island in the South Pacific, the future of mankind is changed forever! Realizing that there are hostile forces in the universe, the people of Earth race to rebuild the SDF-1 as their first line of defense against a possible alien attack!

Fifteen years of peace are shattered when a new invasion force - the Robotech Masters - wage war against the Earth's struggling survivors. The victor's prize is control of the mysterious Protoculture Matrix - the secret powerhouse of Robotechnology.

Victory in the 2nd Robotech War will be decided, not by superior strength, but rather by a willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice. Once the secrets of protoculture are revealed, the tough decisions that must be made, on both sides, will ultimately determine the fate of two civilizations.

This 3 disc set contains Robotech 9: Robotech Masters: Counter Attack, Robotech 10: Robotech Masters: The Final Solution, and a bonus disc containing features such as the never-before-seen English-language pilot for episode #1 of Macross, a promotional music video, preview trailer and pre-production art and so much more!

As the valiant band of freedom fighters led by Scott Bernard makes its way to Reflex Point, they encounter evidence of a world they never knew. Allegiances are strained as the end game is in sight...

The armies are in place; the arena for the final battle has been set. It now becomes a test of courage and commitment. For the freedom fighters, this dark finale is the justification of all the sacrifices they made to get to Reflex Point to face the Earth's most dangerous enemy. For the Invid it is a desperate fight to preserve their very way of life. The war will end, but at what price?

This very special 3-disc collector's edition includes Genesis, Hollow Victory, and the final installment in the indispensable Elements of Robotechnology extras series (available only in this collection). This is the powerful conclusion to this groundbreaking multi-generational science fiction epic!

Contains the first 12 episodes completely remastered on two discs with a handsome art box! 1999: A massive alien battlecruiser crash-lands on Earth in the midst of a bloody global war. With the possibility of a more perilous threat looming, the human race puts aside their differences and collectively undertakes the arduous task of rebuilding the spacecraft, redubbed the SDF-1, to defend the Earth should its extraterrestrial masters come to reclaim it.

After battling their way back to Earth, Rick Hunter, Lisa Hayes and the crew of the SDF-1 must learn to cope with a new set of rules imposed by a bureaucracy with little understanding of the grave threat that faces the entire world.

Features never before seen footage and a fresh, clean digital transfer of Robotech from the original 16mm film stock, returning the series to a lovely and near-pristine state without compromising the character of the original animation.
