Produced by Harmony Gold USA, the original 85-episode series delved into humanity’s struggle against a series of alien invasions, from the gigantic Zentraedi to the mysterious Invid, battling for control of advanced alien technology that crash-landed on Earth.

Robotech #1 second printing hits stores on August 23. Retailers can order this Stanley ‘Artgerm’ Lau cover by using order code MAY179024. Don’t miss out – get your orders in by July 31.
