Robotech...

Just thought I'd post these cool images that I stumbled upon online of the VF-1 Valkyrie (a.k.a. Veritech) fighter...the F-14 Tomcat-type aircraft that can transform into a giant robot in the classic Japanese anime series Robotech. Supposedly, a live-action Robotech film is in development at Warner Bros.—though I'm hoping it'll stay truer to the classic 1980s cartoon than say, Michael Bay's take on Transformers (not that I'm complaining about Transformers...looking forward to Age of Extinction this June). Either the F-14 reference will remain intact for the Veritech fighters on the big screen, or they'll be updated to look like the F-35 Lightning II or the F-22 Raptor. I'm cool with either.
