Okay i am curious

i know they have a movie-like openeing to the snetinels where RIck and Lsia finally marry each other and Max flys a blue alpha and such on...

but is the rest of what happens animated or what, if it is animed how would i find a copy of it?

any info will help

all the footage was edited into a 1 hr movie, and I think if you buy the Robotech protoculture box set, it comes with it

thats what i have is the PC edition

so thats it huh, thats all the animated part of the sentinles huh?

oh wel, i suppsoe i could always look for the PS2 vdeo game if it was made like they said they would

i have RT battlecry on gcn though (only system i had back then)

and eprsoanlly flying around as a max-color VF-1S was fun....or as a miriya-color

btw: VF-1J is my fave but VF-1s had moreuses in that game, so i used it a lot

I remember way back when Palladium books was pretty much doing anything with Robotech and they actually were the first ones to release The Sentinels on video tape, I think it was the first time Palladium put out a video, they even went on and released some New Gen and if I remember correctly some Masters stuff. I remember watching that Sentinels tape over and over agian. (I was still young and it was the only new animated Robotech out there.)

Yeah...some of the completed footage for The Sentinels was edited with some Macross Saga footage into a short "pilot" movie. It was released on VHS a long time ago, and then on DVD, but only as part of the Robotech Legacy and Robotech Protoculture Collection box sets.

If you've got no problem with watching it streaming, the Sentinels "pilot" is on Youtube, starting with this one:

But if you are even more curious, it was adapted into novel (completed) and comics (not completed) form.

I pretty much liked the Sentinels.

A lot of the voice acting was sub par (like they rushed it, individual lines, phoned it in whatever)

Plus Miriya's VA sucked (Brooklyn accent anyone?) and they fucked her hair with a weed wacker or something!

Sad thing was HG ran out of money!

I bought the DVD... At first I was so excited thinking we'd get the whole series of books made into dvds.

I had all the novels , the original (non remastered) Macross set of dvd's Masters and TNG on VHS and the art books and palladium RPGs.

They only thing I didn't buy was the toys cause I got out of Battletech 10 years earlier...

So I spent a nice chunk of change on Robotech over the years.

I'm halfway to being ashamed to admitting it, but The Sentinels are probably the reason I'm posting here.

'Cause, well, that continuity has a ton of problems, in terms of design, plotting, characterization, yadda, yadda. I'm not denying that.

But the Sentinels novels were the only continuity that had a post-Macross storyline for Exedore which didn't completely suck. I know that he's not popular, but he's *my* favourite character in the franchise, so I was like, "Finally!" I had something to build on, play with, and explore, beyond the TV series.

(and, yes, I include his Macross re-imagining in the "suck" category, thankyouverymuch)

Also, I liked Kazianna Hesh, and the idea of Breetai having a love interest. It worked 'fer me, though it could have been a horrible disaster.

All of which isn't in the animation or anything, but I like watching that, too, even if Buckethead Breetai makes me cringe. I'd like for it to have been remastered.

Everything else? No, it's pretty stupid. I'll elaborate after a while.

I actually found that awesome that Breetai got to knock someone up...

YOU GO BREETAI, GET SOME!

(and she was willing! Bonus!)

Kazianna rules you.

And me.

And everybody else.

Ever read the scripts for Episodes #1-8?

The debate between Exedore and Leonard was COMPLETELY OPPOSITE what was dubbed in the movie.

Exedore was the one worrying about the REF leaving, and Leonard was insisting that his forces would be more than enough for Earth's defense - though Edwards' stealing the mecha meant to arm the stay-behind Defense Forces to up-weapon the SDF-3 made that impossible.

The Irony was that, while it meant that it screwed the Southern Cross (remember, the lab reports on the bioroids showed that missiles were the most effective anti-bioroid weapons - and what do Alphas have a shit-load of), it probably saved the REF from being killed outright by the Invid.
