Busy year for the Robotech franchise

The mecha-filled Robotech franchise looks like having a busy year ahead of itself, not only is there a hotly anticipated new animated movie set for (what we assume is a very limited) US theatrical release at some point in 2006 but news has recently leaked that several live-action projects are also being planned too.

The original 1980s Robotech TV series, which spliced together three different anime series including the original Macross series, is currently being released on UK DVD by Manga Entertainment.
