The death of Roy Fokker, Ben Dixion and countless others and civilians, seared itself into my childhood brain.

The Robotech death toll is...high. And they are not shy about it. From like the first episode with civilian deaths, right up to the near total genocide of Earth.

And, of course, the Ultimate Death: Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime? What about Ultra Magnus? Goes out like a punk after failing his Activate Matrix roll, just because he’s not voiced by Judd Nelson. I felt so sorry for him.

“You don’t have the touch, you don’t have the power… you’re not our light in our darkest hour.”
