88a. Robotech Wars: To the End of the Universe Music Guide

What follows is a list of all the music that appeared in the Matchbox video Robotech Wars episode 1: "To the Ends of the Universe." Bold text denotes that this is the first appearance of that piece of music.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: Just like Robotech II: The Sentinels and Robotech: The Movie, Robotech Wars is a musical free-for-all, drawing on music written for Robotech, Sentinels, and Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years. It uses 9 Robotech tracks, 4 Sentinels tracks, and 4 Harlock tracks. Of those, two of the Harlock tracks are new to Robotech, and one of the Sentinels tracks is completely new and never heard anywhere before.  I've again picked episode titles from Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years to serve as song titles for the Harlock tracks.

It's also worth noting that both the opening and closing credits are faded in and out, technically making the music on them incomplete. It's common for musical cues to be incomplete, but the two episodes on this video are the only time it's been done for the opening and closing credits.

This episode also used Alien Attack four times, which is a new record. The most times any Robotech episode used it before was three.
