Any Macross Fans here?

To me, macross is THE mecha series. I'm not talking about the American-dubbed Robotech version but the original japanese one with all its beautiful and haunting tunes. wow...what a series!
In anycase, with Transformers, Spiderman Tobey Maguire has acquired the rights to make it into a movie. When Michael Bay heard this, he was reported to have boasted he will make Transformer II so action-packed no one will see macross (or Robotech to the americans). I think he missed the point. Macross is about love, courage with lots of action thrown in. Transformers was about live action with a small love sub-plot.
I do hope they stick to the original story rather than "re-imagine" it....
I for one was never a fan of the Transformers cartoon series, so I guess I am in the macross camp....
