Robotech Shadow Chronicles Teaser
January 30, 2005 - Harmony Gold presented themselves at the Anime LA convention on Saturday and gave people what they wanted. They showed a very short clip of Shadow Chronicles to the audience. However, it wasn't all that exciting, because it simply showed The New Generation ships and mecha in new 3D graphics. It did look nice, though. However, it confirms that process is actually being made on this new series. [ Shadow Chronicles Teaser Animation ]

Robotech.com - April Fools Comes Early
March 20, 2005 - Robotech.com might have skipped April Fools last year, but they did not disappoint this year. A week and a half early, Robotech.com posts a very short statement on their web site declaring that Robotech.com will be shutting down on March 21 2005: "Robotech.com has been going strong since February 15th, 2001, but it's going offline March 21st at 1PM Pacific time. We just wanted to let you all know that it's been a great 4 years, everyone". This statement is misleading. The truth is, Robotech.com is not closing. Tommy Yune has stated that Robotech.com will need to be taken off line for a few days to fix up contract issues with their web host. It is expected that a new outrage against Robotech.com will start up after people realize that they're being mislead. Already, today, there are dozens of posts of Robotech.com members who are upset to see their favorite site shut down. I wish to state to all Robotech Companion fans and visitors that my web site will never ever mislead you like this. Thank you. Love Live Robotech!

Update: I have reconstructed the information about what's happening with Robotech.com: The contract for the web server they own has expired. The company who rented it to them has gone out of business and Harmony Gold is getting a new contract and a new server from another company. This is what Tommy Yune was trying to state to some fans days and months ago. So, Now you all know. You're welcome.
