I figure that there will be people who want to know the latest facts but don't want to spend the time looking elsewhere. So here we go from what I know.
The new Robotech sequel to The Shadow Chronicles will be called "Robotech: Shadow Rising" They assume it will take two years for the new production to come out. There's not a lot of information about it yet. We do know that Steve and Tommy is working on the scripts and is in pre-production. Harmony Gold did show some kind of teaser trailer at Comic-Con for it though. This trailer should appear online at some point.
Robotech: The Shadow Chronciles DVD will be re-released this November as a Collector's Edition with two discs that will include a lot of extras such as first draft animation, outtakes, and other things. These first draft animation scenes seem interesting as Kevin attempt to say how they're not very family friendly...
On the Toynami front, the New Generation Beta Fighter will finally see release. It will be fully transformable and attach to the Alpha fighter. As well, New Generation Cyclones will finally be produced as well. Scott's Cyclone is the first and will be fully transformable with a Scott figurine. Both toys should be out this fall. The other cyclones will most likely be produced at some point.
Captain JLS posts a Anime News Network link on his site. A pretty good summary of the Robotech panel: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convention/2007/comic-con-international/harmony-gold-usa
I think that's about it. That's all the main facts we know at this time.

a lot of time without news, what is up?
I haven't bothered to stay up with the events anymore, even though theres not much going on at all. Robotech has really slowed down. I may have something new depending on what the person wants to do.
and how about this new Live Movie announcement?
Ah ha. Let's put it this way. It likely won't get released and it'll be a total failure. They told us that everyones watching Transformers to see how well some "live action" robot movie will do. Give me a break, cashing in on the success of a basic idea is just fad making. It's Robotech and its not going anywhere.
