Prepare for takeoff, fellow gamers! This week on Play Comics, we’re blasting off into the world of Robotech: Battlecry, where you can pilot a Veritech fighter and save the universe while trying not to crash into your own nostalgia! Join us as we follow Jack Archer on his epic quest to defend Earth from those pesky Zentraedi, all while dodging missiles and mastering the art of transforming from jet to robot (and back again) without losing our lunch.
Joining the mission is none other than SP Rupert from The Gonna Geek Show, Legends of S.H.I.E.L.D. d Better Podcasting, and Artie’s Attic, bringing his signature wit and insight to help us navigate the skies of nostalgia and questionable early-2000s graphics. Will we earn our medals, or will the Zentraedi laugh us out of orbit? Tune in to find out! Or don’t, it’s not like you’re going to start an intergalactic space war or anything……..
Learn such things as:
- Is Robotech more of a salad or a multi layer dip?
- Hey, isn’t this based on an “original” anime?
- How do you convince someone that this is the giant fighting robot series that they should love?
- And so much more!
You can find the guest on the Gonna Geek Network Discord server, and of course his almost too many podcasts T<img alt=”” src=”https://playcomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/script.gif” /><img alt=”” src=”https://playcomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/script.gif” />he Gonna Geek Show, Legends of S.H.I.E.L.D., Better Podcasting, and Artie’s Attic<img alt=”” src=”https://playcomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/script-1.gif” />.
