Robotech is an animated television series created by Carl Macek for Harmony Gold USA. It aired in broadcast syndication from March 4 to June 28, 1985, comprising 85 episodes. Set over a four-decade period, the series follows three alien invasions of Earth prompted by humanity's discovery of an extraterrestrial scientific advancement known as Robotechnology.

The series was developed by adapting three unrelated anime into a single story. The first part is based on Super Dimension Fortress Macross, the second is based on Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and the third is based on Genesis Climber MOSPEADA. Each anime serves as the basis of the three Robotech wars depicted in the series.
