What are the Macross and Mospeada Dubs?
In 1984, Harmony Gold allowed Carl Macek to create an english translation of Super Dimensional Fortress: Macross that used the first three episodes of the series and released it on video through a magazine called Heavy Metal. The only things that were changed was the main title theme and the character names slightly. This was Harmony Gold’s plan to create interest from Revell to market with them for any future plans to have support. This lead to Revell’s agreement that Harmony Gold must use the title Robotech on whatever came out of the company’s productions. The Mospeada dub by Harmony Gold was only done as a sample. They never created one for S.D.C. Southern Cross, because it was a very recent release in Japan at the time.
