…I’m getting my paws on a couple of Robotech Defenders.Zoltek and Condar to be exact.I’ve been looking for these kits for years and finally won a few on ebay.I can’t wait to get started on them.Anybody else dig these models?Got any pics?
Wow that makes me feel old[|(] I had several of the kits as a kid but glue was the worst weapon they could have encountered. Their armor was no match for Testors tube glue[:-^] I do miss those kits though. Congrats on the score!

well Matt that was before they(Testors) came out with the liquid cement in those cool Handy squeeze applicators.[:D]
Last year I picked up several of these old kits on ebay. I won a Zoltek, the Armored Combat Team, the HUGE Gartan mech, and the equally huge Commando set. At about the same time, I bought several kits from the Dougram series. Interestingly, many of the Robotech kits are Dougram mechs in new packaging.
I haven’t been able to bring myself to actually build any of them yet because of their high dollar value, but someday I hope to have a nice little futuristic armored column marching through my home.
By the way, anyone who enjoys the Robotech / Dougram kits may also enjoy kits from the Crusher Joe series and another one called Technopolice. I sure do!
I had a couple of these as a kid. The glue didn’t get them, but the firecrackers sure did! They were pretty cool, they had articulated joints if I remember correctly.
I don’t care what they are worth.Once I get an airbrush I’m gonna build 'em.I had a blast as a kid building these kits and should have even more fun now that my modelling skills are a hell of a lot better.
Yeah i still have a couple of the veritech fighters that came in this line. I alos have one caled “Nebo” [i beleive that’s it] that was also a transfoming bot that was really rounded. i forgot what actual animae series it was from though I saw the series once when i rented it. Zoltec was always my favorite. i could never find any of the trasports and command teams in my area whwn I was a kid…
