I was at the con today and I want to thank Steve and Tommy for being there. I went up to ask a question but by the time I had thought of a really good question it was too late. They cut the line off one guy in front of me because we were running short on time.
I wanted to ask what the chances were of seeing enemy masterpiece collections, such as battle pods, invid troopers and scouts, as well as Bioroids. Not to mention that there are plenty of Macross and Invid saga masterpiece vehicles out there, but nothing from Southern Cross (even though it's my least favorite of the sagas). AND what about the possiblity of ships? An SDF-1 masterpiece? Breetai's flagship? Maybe some toy models of the newer vessels.
Other than my missed opportunity to inquire about this, I am glad that the whole Robotech live action movie with Tobey McGuire could be officially backed up by the panel as a distinct and real probability. As Tommy stated, the live action movie is involving so much more than he can comprehend, with A-list stars being pursued for roles.
Glad to hear it. But as long as I see the SDF and transforming veritechs fighting Zentraedi pods... I'm good to go. | |

Tommy was asked a bunch of questions about the live-action movie but didn't give very much away.
One question inquired about how close to the original Robotech series will the live-action movie be?
Tommy responded that Robotech will go through a re-interperetation, like all movies based on comics or cartoons. He used the example of the X-Men changing costumes, because their original costume designs wouldn't fly. Things like that. But he assured everyone that they are striving to get the movie as close to the Robotech that we all know and love as possible.
Because it's so early in the process he couldn't really reveal much more. | |
