For you fans of the epic animated series RoboTech, the original 1985 show is now available for portable nostalgic enjoyment on iTunes.
Last week, RoboTech Season 1: The Macross Saga was released, followed by RoboTech Season 2: The RoboTech Masters this week. Finally, on October 6th, RoboTech Season 3: The New Generation will be released.
RoboTech is a sweeping science-fiction anime epic of humans defending their homeworld 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.”
Head over to the RoboTech iTunes page to start collecting episodes!
Warner Bros. currently has a big-screen live-action adaptation in the works with Lawrence Kasdan(The Empire Strikes Back) penning the script and Spider-Man‘s Tobey Maguire producing and possibly starring.
Just FYI, there’s no capital ‘T’ in Robotech.
You’re thinking of BattleTech, which borrowed some of the same giant robots Robotech used from the original Japanese source.
