The future of Robotech® . . .

The future of Robotech® . . .
I spoke to Tommy Yune last night, around 8:00 PM, about Palladium’s plans for Robotech®.
Tommy sounded pretty excited about what we had in mind, though both of us were pretty worn out. I had put in 13 hours of work at that point, and Tommy was exhausted from sleepless nights with his four month old baby. I know I was pretty zoned and flat when we talked. All these 7 day weeks are starting to take their toll on me, I think. (So I’ll be heading home shortly to crash on my couch).
Tommy liked and approved of our ideas and schedule for the rest of the year, and we’ll be talking again in a week or so to nail down some details, especially for the Robotech Spaceship books.
Tommy agreed that with the vast number of spacecraft in Robotech, it was best to split the material into two large books, one dealing with ALL the Earth vessels (Macross, Southern Cross, New Generation and Shadow Chronicles) and one dealing with ALL the bad guys/alien spacecraft (Zentraedi, Masters, Invid, Haydonites and others). We're just still trying to find a title for each that we all like.
Here’s an advanced look at just a couple of the catalog entries regarding new product for Robotech®:
