Robotech

Transforming fighter series

Robotech is an American animated science fiction series from the 1980s, adapted from three unrelated Japanese anime series and edited together with a connecting storyline.

The name has become associated with transforming mecha—giant robots that change into vehicles, particularly fighter jets.

I grew up watching Robotech after school.
