Harmony Gold publicly launch Robotech.com
February 15, 2001 - After many months of beta testing with the help of fans, Harmony Gold has finally launched their Robotech web site hosted by Steve Yun and Tom Bateman. Harmony Gold deems their web site as the Official source, but a good part of the fandom would likely disagree. It's the first time Robotech has ever had an official commercial site. We can hope good things come out of it.
