An unmade live action film adaptation of the first arc of the [[Robotech]] [[mecha]] anime adaptation from the 80s. 

The movie was going to be based on the [[choujikuu_yousai_macross|Macross Saga]] and had some pre-production art made for it. Work on the project started in the late 2000s.

It was being produced by actor "Tobey Macguire":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobey_Maguire (himself a Robotech fan). The adaptation is currently in development hiatus limbo.

Some of its planned effects and design elements and/or styles are rumored in Hollywood circles to have ended up being used in other productions like the later [[transformers_(live action)|live action Transformers films]] by Michael Bay and the [[Pacific Rim]] movies.
