Description I don't think I've ever done a Robotech pic. What's up with that!?

Instead of doing an actual Robotech plane I used the classic F-14 Tomcat as reference.

Highway to the danger zone, yo!

Forgive my ignorince, but why would you give a jet fighter legs? Good picture by the way.

HAHA. Sorry it took so long to reply. The short answer is that's how the cartoons had it. I guess to transition from air to ground combat? But when I was a kid I could care less about the practicality of it all. It was just frakking cool to watch!!

In the Robotech comics, it's mentioned that some modified Tomcats were able to convert into a GERWALK (Guardian) configuration.

I personally think those aircraft were supposed to be test beds, but were pressed into active service, in the comics...

AWESOME!! It almost looks JUST LIKE a Veritech fighter, except in the legs. Maybe it was the model after the Veritech and before the Alpha.

You know I have never watched Robotech. I am correct in believing there was a cartoon aren't I?

Yes you are. It was one of the many toons that was "Americanized" in the 80,s. It was pretty epic too. In Japan it was called Macross.

Yeah I took a look at youtube but the cartoon is so old I don't think I could bring myself to watch all 85 episodes.

Oh it's definitely something only a kid who watched it regularly can appreciate as an adult. It's pure nostalgia for me. Transformers,G.I. Joe, Voltron, Thundercats, Robotech and few others. Between 80 and 88 Aaaaaaa....good times

Oh yeah Transformers, GI Joe, Voltron, and Thundercats are shows I could watch. Because I watched them before. I guess Robotech was one I missed in the 80s. But hey the japanese gave us Gundam and i'll take that as my replacement for Robotech.

Well maybe i'll have to check youtube. I love Gundam so I can't see why I wouldn't like Robotech.
