This aborted American-produced series would have followed the continuing adventures of Rick and Lisa Hunter and the Robotech Expedition during the events of ''The Masters'' and ''The New Generation''. The feature-length pilot is composed of the first three (and only) episodes that were produced. ''The Sentinels'' featured characters from all three ''Robotech'' sagas and introduced the [[SDF-3 Pioneer|SDF-3]] along with an overview of their new mission. The series was planned to have a total of 65 episodes.<ref name="Macek Training">{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2010-01-14|title=Macek Training|access-date=2010-01-25|work=Anime News Network|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100118061342/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2010-01-14|archive-date=2010-01-18}}</ref>

In ''Robotech Art 3: The Sentinels'', Carl Macek blamed the cancellation of the series on the crash of the Yen/Dollar [[exchange rate]],<ref>In June 1985, the Yen/US dollar exchange rate was 250-1. By early 1986, the rate had dropped to 200-1. By the end of 1986, the rate had dropped to 160-1. By the end of 1987, the rate had further dropped to 120-1{{citation needed|date=February 2016}}</ref> which caused toy partner [[Matchbox (brand)|Matchbox]] to withdraw from the project. [[Harmony Gold USA|Harmony Gold]] lacked the funds to produce the series on its own, and production ceased after only three episodes.

''Robotech II: The Sentinels'' was released on VHS by [[Palladium Books]].<ref>''Robotech II: The Sentinels''. Paldium, 1988.

This version has opening titles resembling those found on the "Robotech Remastered" DVDs, as well as a new ending with text explaining the fate of the SDF-3. Also, all of the flashback footage used from "The Macross Saga" has been removed, including the re-used footage from the episode "Wedding Bells".<ref>''Robotech: The Complete Original Series'' DVD.
