Ok but but how much?

I saw some episodes years ago, overall not bad and I remember the toy as Voltron-III, I almost bought the set back then.

As for Fewture Getter no thanks too expensive

lol saw it once as a seven year old kid.. I remember 3 robots piled on each other to form a bigger robot.

ok, here's one i still couldn't find info about it. It's about a teenager who calls a big robot from a ... dimension and fight alien badguys who also control mecha. Remembering the mecha designs are like from 1980-1982. Anyone got a clue?

[Project Phoenix]

Without much info I'd say it must be Laserion you're talking about cuz' the hero summons a mecha from another dimension each episode and combines with it.

Let me see if I can dig up a pic.

Albegas was actually Voltron II and the Lions were III.

It was all about Mighty Orbots on ABC Saturday Mornings

[wolfx]

Wow...that albegas is really fugly...even in illustration. XD

[Lightning]

so what was Voltron I then?

[nightmareB4macross]

Dairugger XV

[JB0]

It also depends on when you bought the toys.

The later releases had Dairugger as Voltron 2 and Albegas as Voltron 3.

[Extra Large Mumma]

OverTechJunkie, do you have any more pics of the Mighty Orbots? The one you've got there is pretty cool. I used to watch that show every Saturday morning on ABC as well.

For those of you who are SRW fans, the TV series will premier this Fall and it will feature Ryusei of the SRX team as the protagonist.

Also, the PS2 version of SRW Original Generation game is coming out sometime this year.

If and only if Atlus follows through with their release of the two GBA SRW games will possibly we see a release of the PS2 version. But I highly doubt it.

Dairugger AND Golion?

I thought neither of those was popular enough to retro-merchandise.

...

Not that I'm objecting, mind you...

[Extra Large Mumma]

I'm going to order the Voltron kits jut for the artwork.

[aaajin]

Like Super Robot themes? Here are some videos featuring Animetal:

[Vermillion21]

My favourite is definitely Dairugger XV, aka. Vehicle Voltron!!

[wolfx]

I don't think this deserves a new thread yet, but lookie here, a Super Robot show produced by Gainax.

http://www.gurren-lagann.net/

[rikiryou]

O_o looks like a bad mix of everything mecha. It has Eureka's shoulderpads, it has Zanbot/Daitarn's head etc.

Probably a parody thing of sorts, which is usually good fun.

[Fort Max]

Oh sweet ass, a super robot parody from Gainax could be awesome.

With this, Marmorou Naganos Gothic Made and SRW:OG:TV there is plenty to look forward to for mecha fans.

That Clamp mecha show with the Nirvarsh copy cat robot is allready all but forgotten by me and it hasn't even aired yet.

[orguss01]

I need help with this one.

OK i am not sure if my mind is embelishing things or this was real but i swear i remember a super, like Manzinger (Tranzor Z) but the little guy used a control box instead of sitting on/in his head in a pod. Like a little lap top, before they even had them, l remeber cuz i lways wanted one, the laptop, it might even been in spanish, not sure, anyone?It coul dhave been like early Tranzor????

Try Gigantor(or Tetsujin 28, if you want the original japanese title).

The original was black and white, and it's generally considered the first mech anime ever. It's been remade a time or 3, so there ARE color versions out there.
