What follows is a list of all the music that appeared in the Matchbox video Robotech Wars episode 2: "Battle Royale." Bold text denotes that this is the first appearance of that piece of music.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Where "To the End of the Universe" farmed old footage and completely rearranged it with completly new dialogue to make an all new story, "Battle Royale" is more of a direct clip show, stitching together battle scenes from the first three and last nine episodes of the Macross Saga (with many scenes keeping the same dialogue), under the frame work of one of Exedore's briefings to Gloval and crew. As a result a lot of the music tracks from the original scenes are left the same. There are a few changes, but most of them are in the spirit of the original versions and don't bring in any new music.
The big exceptions to these are where some Sentinels music has been brought in. "Expeditionary Briefing" is used for the scenes where Exedore is giving his reports, a slowed-down version of "The Young Warriors" is used for when Rick is setting Minmei and Kyle free form Khyron's cage, and a new piece is used for the scene recounting the battle from Episode 2 "Countdown," where the wounded Zentraedi soldier rises out of his damaged battlepod and starts stomping towards Rick and Minmei in the VF-1D. While the lead synthesizer sounds like it could be either Sentinels or Harlock, I'm presuming it's from the Sentinels because it has a similar sound to the percussion and various other synthesizer sounds used in it that the other Sentinels tracks use.

In the late 1980s, Harmony Gold dubbed them.
The first is not really a movie, but a compendium of several episodes of a Japanese TV series.
The second is the real movie of that TV series, although, the video is taken from the version distributed by Streamlined while the audio comes from the dubbing of Harmony Gold.
Either way, thanks for your hard work.

Thank you very much! I had seen a short preview of that TV version of Lensman using the Sentinels music at a convention once, but I've never had the chance to see the full version before. The only version of the Lensman movie I saw used the original Japanese music. I'm very interested in watching them now and seeing what music was used. If there's any previously unheard music in there I'll be sure to make a post about it! Thank you for the links, I'm very grateful!
