In 1985 a bold new animated television series challenged the hearts and minds of an entire global generation. The series was
ROBOTECH - and it went on to become, and still is, a worldwide phenomenon spawning legions of loyal fans from Chicago to Capetown, from Perth to Paris. For many young viewers, ROBOTECH represents the first animated television program that entertained its audience while treating them with respect and intelligence.
The original 85-episode ROBOTECH saga produced by Harmony Gold has aired in over 140 countries, and is still aired in dozens today. The stories are as fresh and exciting today as they were when they were first broadcast. Aside from this landmark programming, the ROBOTECH universe fostered several major toylines; dozens of science fiction novels; a successful role-playing game system; over 300 comic books; annual fan conventions; and a current merchandising program which includes among other things T-shirts, model kits, CD Sountracks, videogames and novels. Some of the past and present licensees include: Matchbox Toys, Playmates Toys, TDK Mediactive, Tiger Electronics, DC Comics/Wildstorm Producions (a division of AOL Time Warner), Ballantine/Del Rey Books (a division of Random House), Changes Apparel, Revell Inc., Warren Company, Palladium Books, Thermos, One Stop Posters, Hanes, ADV Films, Family Home Entertainment, Amscan Inc., Peter Pan Industries and over 50 others.
ROBOTECH is not nostalgia - it is an ongoing, vital phenomenon which continues to grow internationally. What is even more remarkable, is that there are thousands of websites across the internet dedicated to ROBOTECH and related subjects illustrating its seamless transition into the new millenium and the loyal "Gen X" following.

It is with great pride that we present to you,
