ROBOTECH is a sweeping science-fiction anime epic of humans defending their homeworld against alien domination. The saga is told through the eyes of characters caught up in a series of wars that erupts when a mysterious spacecraft crash-lands on Earth at the turn of the millenium. The secrets of alien knowledge aboard this vessel were unlocked, leading to the development of "Robotechnology" and the creation of a vast arsenal of robotic "mecha" to defend the Earth against the alien threats that would eventually strike to lay claim to the mysterious power source known as "protoculture."
ROBOTECH has often been called a "space opera" because it is not just action-packed entertainment, but also an engaging drama. 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. 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.
