Transformers the Movie was set in the distant year of 2005. I remember posting about it when 2005 finally came, on a website that no longer exists.

I think next year will be when the gap between now and 2005 becomes longer than the gap between 2005 and TFTM's release. I expect to see a lot of posts about it on Facebook from that point on.

Im not sure about the original Macross, but in Robotech the SDF-1 crashed in 1999 and the ill-fated fold maneuver was in 2009.

Seems to me, if I were writing sci-fi, I'd either not give a date at all or set it like 100 years in the future so I'll be dead before people start going "where's my hoverboard?!"
