Transformers, er, Robotech coming soon to a theater near you


From filmstalker, I've always wondered why television and films about robots that join together and make one big robot always seemed to be made over Robotech, but perhaps the straight robot action of Transformers (Filmstalker review) had something to do with changing the minds of the studios, for now Warner Brothers have bought the rights to the series for a film version.

I loved the Robotech series which was from the eighties, a prime plundering point of Hollywood right now, it tells of a time when an alien spacecraft crashes on Earth and man exploits the technologies on board to create giant robots which turn into spacecraft (the logical thing you could see robots doing). It's about then that an alien race start attacking Earth and humans defend themselves with these new robots.

Okay, sure. Maybe this one will get the giant robot thing better than Transformers and really knock off some socks. Transformers just made mine fall down around my ankles.
