3 + 3bielmic. Overall, this release is worth the money, especially if you're a hardcore fan of the original and the anime. Basically, it's a moderately revamped Sentinels with new stats and vehicles but without any significant change to the rules. The artwork is the standard Palladium B&W fare but is of good quality. While the format (manga size) of the new book makes for easy reading, it may not be the best for a frequently reference RPG rulebook.
2 + 2faraday77. Plain layout, crappy organisation, average writing and sloppy editing mated to dated and clunky concepts and mechanics not really suited to emulate the cinematic feel of Robotech. Caveat emptor.

7 / 10LazarusThe layout of the book, primarily, is getting in the way for me. Information is haphazardly strewn throughout the book, pagelong (in this format) statblocks are presented before any discussion about how to interpret them. The system does not support Robotech, but doesn't necessarily get in the way.
