Dealing in Futures Presents



What is Robotech? Well, it was a tv series in the U.S. that was based on three, unrelated Japanese shows: Super Dimentional Fortress Macross, Super Dimentional Calvary Southern Cross and Genesis Climber Mospaeda. The creative force behind tying these three shows together was one, Carl Macek.

Each show was used as the basis for a different Robotech war, each involving a different "generation" of characters. There are four main segments to the Robotech story: The Macross Saga (First Generation), Robotech Masters (Second Generation), Invid Invasion (Third Generation) and The Sentinels (Multi-generational). There is also the Lost Generation, which chronicles the events not covered in the four main parts of the storyline.

The tv series is accompanied by a line of novelizations by Jack McKinney and comics by Academy. The accompanying timeline should help to illustrate how complex and truely brilliant the Robotech saga is.
