24. Showdown Music Guide

What follows is a list of all the music that appeared in the standard version of Robotech episode 24: "Showdown." Bold text denotes that this is the first appearance of that piece of music.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: We get the fourth and final piece of "Private Time Themes" used for the first time, when Claudia says goodbye to Lisa. And although a brief clip of "Daydream" was used in "First Contact" when Max infiltrated the Zentraedi ship, this is the only episode where this beautiful piece of music really gets its chance to shine, as the majority of it is used when Claudia speaks to Rick and tries to steer him away from Minmei and towards Lisa.

Returning to the "Is it music or is it a sound effect?" department, we've got the music used in the "Battroid Attack!" video game in this episode. Checking the original Macross episode, I can report that the game music is the same-- making it count as a sound effect, and therefore not a part of the Robotech soundtrack. (And arguably an unreleased piece for a Macross Perfect Memory Soundtrack... but that's a different project).
