MOVIES AND SPECIALS:
Robotech II: The Sentinels (1986)
Takes place between episodes #36 and #37 and shows Rick and Lisa's wedding. Pilot movie for an all-new animated Robotech series that wasn't meant to be.
Robotech The Movie: The Untold Story (1986 Cannon Pictures)
Takes place before episode #37. Uses scenes from "Megazone 23 (a 1985 OAV series)" and "Southern Cross". This movie was rushed and poorly made, so Carl Macek and Harmony Gold do not consider it part of the continuity. It will likely never be released to the public again.
Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles (2006 Direct-To-DVD)
Takes place directly after episode #85 and features all new animation with some of the original voice actors returning.
