CHOO! CHOO!<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n
Stage fright! Go away! This is our big day! In today\u2019s exciting entry in the continuing odyssey of Animation Aficionados, Ben and Neil are joined by Tim the Canadian Macross expert after a first attempt at this episode ended in disaster. We talk about giant planes that can transform into pilotable mecha, with the intent to battling an alien race composed entirely of giant raging virgins.<\/p>\n
After a brief history lesson in Robotechnology, the gang moves onto the show that everyone wants to talk about and never again mentions Southern Cross or Mospaeda. MAAAA-KUUUU-ROOOOSSSS!!!!!<\/p>\n
Topics covered:
\nDo You Remember Love<\/em> is beautiful
\nMaximilian Jenius is the greatest human being to ever live
\nDueling Minmays; which would we murder first?
\nAdmiral Hunter has an Ahab moment and becomes a genocidal maniac
\nThe Shadow Chronicles<\/em> is a titillating addition to the Robotech saga
\nRobotech was nearly grafted onto the continuity of another show (Oh the irony!)
\nSkyfire has a gerwalk mode (from the episode \u201cDay Of The Machines,\u201d by the way)
\nSimon Furman likes to destroy Go-Bots
\nSalads can be deadly
\nCarl Macek gets props
\nToby MaGuire does not
\nYou can end wars by singing
\nYou can still fight when yerrrr drunk!<\/p>\nAlso, nobody mentions Kaifun, the worst character in Macross. Yay!<\/p>\n
Oh, and finally, here is the clip of Machine Robo with the most recognizable Go-Bots designs. Surreal, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
