Robotech Convention Tour to Stop at Otakon 2015


Baltimore, MD (June 16, 2015) – The Robotech Convention Tour will be making a stop at
Otakon 2015. Otakorp Inc. welcomes Kevin McKeever, the vice president of marketing for
"Robotech," who will provide updates on all the live action and animated "Robotech" projects
currently in the pipeline.

As a stop on the tour, McKeever says to expect official "Robotech" panels presented by people
directly involved with the franchise; a forum for fans to ask questions and get answers directly
from Harmony Gold; and giveaways of "Robotech" merchandise for attendees.

"Robotech" is a sweeping science-fiction anime epic of humans defending their home world
against alien domination. The saga is told through the eyes of characters caught up in a series of
wars that erupts when a mysterious spacecraft crash-lands on Earth at the turn of the millennium.
The secrets of alien knowledge aboard this vessel are unlocked, leading to the development of
"Robotechnology" and the creation of a vast arsenal of robotic "mecha" to defend the Earth
against the alien threats that would eventually strike to lay claim to the mysterious power source
known as "protoculture.”

Otakon 2015 will be held July 24-26 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, MD. Otakon
2015 is celebrating fairy tales, folk stories, myths, and legends. Keep your eyes out for content,
artwork, and guests with connections to our theme.
