ROBOTECH FORCE (was the title in the advert... at the back of the comic-book).
[NOTE: "BUILD THE WORLD'S MOST ADVANCED DEFENSE SYSTEM".
"You've built the deadliest aircraft. The most awesome tanks. And the mightiest warships. Now, maybe, you're ready for Robotech Force: Super-powered robots equipped with radar-directed, rapid fire lasers. And powerful computerized brains, programmed to seek and destroy all enemies. So protect the world from attack. Put yourself in command of the most awesome defense system that the world has ever known. Robotech Force. (TM) "
In my own opinion, this marketing advert has no conection to the storytelling of the comic book.]
[NOTE: the very small print (in white), shows the oragins of the Model kits as "Manufactured by Takara Co Ltd. Takyo Japan" - Takara but no link to the Anime TV series 'Fang of the Sun, Dougram' created by Ryosuke Takahashi with Nippon Sunrise (Studio) for TV Tokyo Corporation.]
Revell, distrobuted scale model kits.
[NOTE: Revell GmbH is an American-origin for the manufacturer of plastic scale models kits.]
ROBOTECH DEFENDERS.
[NOTE: Revell had these unconnected lines of scale model kits, and with DC Comics pland to release comic books in a 3 issues run (limited Mini Series), entitled “Robotech Defenders” as a direct tie-in to boost sales.
ROBOTECH DEFENDERS
(mainly from the TV Anime show "Fang of the Sun, Dougram")
