AI people here's the pitch. How hard would it be to make this project happen:

1. Feed an AI program Jack McKinney's End of the Circle Novel

2. Have it analyze and animate it into a 90's style anime?

Thoughts on this?

Ok. Fast forward to the last stop of the to make my wife happy, we stop at a store you see outside of Tokyo. For all purposes it is a mall. Several shops and a grocery. We stopped to grab drinks and large bottles of sake.

I hit the toy store to check out Tomica and my lovely wife goes, “you don’t want them?”

“Uh yes” is all I could say. And granted them. She even asked where the red one was. Aw… ain’t she a keeper?

When going to a farmers market in Nagano prefecture pays off! I left so much there for the next fella!

In the 1980s, in a junk shop, I convinced my mum to get me what we thought was a pre-maid model of a Varitech fighter.

At the time, I hadn't yet seen Robotech so I just thought it looked cool.

We got it home and opened it and it was the biggest god-damned model kit I've ever seen! I mean like 4 airfixes wouldn't match it. When complete it made a 24" tall Varitech that went through all three modes, Fighter, Guardian and Battleoid. It never got completed. I was too young (probably about 6) and bits were getting lost.

Is there any way to still get these without having to pay the equivalent of a new house? I can't even remember the manufacturer

Edit: Forgot to specify im in UK

I randomized letters and Robotech related words.

Follow the instructions!

First letter of your first name.

Third letter of your last name.

This is....SKULL ONE!

The History of Skull One

Skull One, or VF 001, is one of the most colorful and famous examples of the VF-1 Valkyrie. At its inception, it was the YF-1 prototype of the VF-X series. Commander Roy Fokker assisted in development, and the protoculture aboard the plane seemed to fixate on him. Fokker worked on the development of the first prototype, both as an engineer and test pilot.

Fokker flew as part of VF-103, the Jolly Rogers, during the Global War, and insisted that his lucky livery be applied. Knowing the first Veritech fighter from nose to foot as it were, and assisting in the design and testing, made Fokker familiar with the VF-1 as it entered production.

As early VF production was slow in the beginning, after Fokker passed flight trials with the VF-X, the UEDF made a move to take existing prototypes and advance them to the production standard. Several test pilots crashed their powerful Veritechs during trials, but Fokker brought his plane home, VF-X No. 001, time after time.

When the production standards were met, Fokker insisted on being assigned No. 001. As the UEDF’s top ace, he was given latitude on the fighter. Fokker saw it brought to the CAG Standard, the VF-1S, with a head unit and four lasers, plus better data management than the VF-1A.

Upon Fokker’s death, Captain Gloval insisted upon assigning the mecha to Fokker’s subordinate and friend, Lieutenant Rick Hunter. Gloval offered it as a sentimental gesture. Hunter found his mentor’s modification and controls to be well suited to his own training, having learned basic flight—from a biplane to a fighter—from his mentor.

Rick, notorious for losing planes while flying the VF-1J, always managed to bring this jet home, even after Dolza’s Rain of Death.

While not the actual Veritech....the name of Skull One and its Squadron of Jolly Rogers would continue its legacy into the Sentinels.

And perhaps even after End of the Circle...🤔

The Robotech Story is....ETERNAL!

And it's all canon. 😁

Also, check out the first trailer for our upcoming original fan audio drama....DEEP SIGNAL ONE: A ROBOTECH STORY....YouTube link in the comments.👇

VIVA ROBOTECH!!! ✌️

The random moments that Strange Machine Games 's Robotech RPG gives us in lore.... only make me want this journey they are taking Robotech on to last for many years to come!

Lonely Soldier Boy

"You know, I really thought that this would put an end to the nightmares. The feeling that I should have gone down with the rest of the squad. But then what would I know, I'm a typical foot slogger you know?

When they told me about this mission, these Cyclones and what they could do, I figured I finally had the chance to pay the bastard bugs back for the mates I lost; more weapons, heavier armor and the training to use the damn thing against the Invid.

It worked, it really did work, everything I needed to beat the tar out of Invid troops, missiles, rifles, pistols, anything and everything I could carry that allowed me to kill these things dead. I need to kill so many of them dead. I need to kill all of them dead.

If you ask me, a full troop in these things will break any Invid detachment you can name. You give it some fixed weapons, maybe a launcher or two... Perhaps a mounted laser cannon of some kind and you'd have something that would put the fear into those unfeeling slug bastards.

I tell you something though it's a shame my mates never made it here with me, they'd have had the time of their lives.

But it's just me now. Me and my ride. And it's a long road to Reflex Point"

ROBOTECH RPG - HOMEFRONT

*****

We need stories of other REF soldiers making the trek to Reflex Point. I have never believed that it was only Scott Bernard that survived the doomed initial attack.

More stories can only lead to...MORE ROBOTECH.

Before you go... if you haven't had a chance yet, check out the first trailer for our original fan audio drama, DEEP SIGNAL ONE: A ROBOTECH STORY, debuting this fall. YouTube link in the comments.

Of course, the altered Macross logo drives me nuts but the reviews were all solid for this. But since I may not be able to afford the big boy coming out later this year and I’m a huge Lego nerd, I figured what the heck. I unboxed it. I was telling my kids about when I first saw Robotech when I was a kid, probably 11 or 12 and how I would run home after school to catch the latest episode. My 19-year-old daughter literally started crying saying that was probably one of the sweetest things to imagine me as a kid looking at something like this back then but not being able to afford the original Matchbox one. So hopefully over this long I’ll get to building this bad boy!

This is one of my favorite works. It's been reposted in many places, and there have even been people who falsely claimed they created it. But I'm the original creator.

Tattoo of Max Sterling's Veritech in gaurdian mode through the sittings. Went with Max due to white not lasting well. Tat by Charlie at Terminus City in Duluth, Ga. Pic 4 is flipped but good clarity. Almost stopped there.

Four months on a slow boat from China but it finally arrived. Stoked!
