Macross - SDF1
[ Introduction to the saga of Macross ]

The conception of MACROSS began in 1980 under the name of BATTLE CITY MEGARODO. This term, held account which Japanese pronounce R and L in a almost identical way can also mean " MEGA-LOAD " and this enormous traffic capacity will be confirmed with some 56 000 passengers whom the vessel should embark of force.

Feeling a little bit alone on a project which grow, the Studio BARE asks for the assistance of the Studio ARTLAND. The name is modified for GREAT DIMENSION FORTRESS MACROSS and the series of relatively parodic and funny becomes "more serious" with a more interesting intrigue.

36 episodes were produced with Tatsunoko for Macross. The legend ROBOTECH which starts again and begins with this series MACROSS is as for it only an artificial construction. Under the name of ROBOTECH, Americans have indeed to connect MACROSS with the 24 episodes of GREAT DIMENSION CAVALRY SOUTHERN CROSS - cross of the South produced in 1984, and GENESIS PIT CLIMBER MOSPEADA, - Invids - produced in 1983!

For the moment, this Temple has for object to speak about MACROSS. We shall approach ROBOTECH later.

Macross's success is due doubtless to the creation of the first mecha "realist" transformable. Until now, robots could be transformed but kept a little bit massive. One thought at first of the look of the robot and one tried to accommodate it in the new configuration.

For Macross, Shoji Kawamori takes problem back to front by being inspired directly by F-14 TOMCAT. For the first time, the mecha transformable is striking of the truth (even though the problem of the joints of legs is composed : The VERITECH FIGHTERS will be necessary so how a reference in Macross's world!
