While researching on Astro Boy I found out that via the MangaEntertainment Channel at youtube you can actually watch the Robotech Episodes Online.

Took some picture of the Armored Cyclone motorcycle toy that I had. This motorcycle was made by Matchbox and can’t really transform to armor mode. Not sure when I bought this, but most likely it was somewhere around 1987-1988. When I bought this the box was already battered and only the cycle was inside it. No instructions no stickers, but I read that there are supposed to be stickers that go along with this. The cycle is made of plastic with rubber tires and held together by screws.

Here’s an interesting factoid I found out last week. I learned this while watching an episode of Genesis Climber Mospeada. As I was watching the Rainy Boy Episode I noticed that the voice of the main antagonist sounded familiar. True enough when I checked with Show Hayami’s file, there it was.

Even before Robotech came out I was already a fan of Macross. So I got surprised when somebody told me that the US version was different from the original series. And that the entire Robotech Franchise was just 3 Japanese cartoon series that had no relation to one another and was joined to create it.
