Seven Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 That's a tough one, since I grew up watching all the super robot shows on TV. I'd probably say a tie between Mazinger Z and Voltes V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB0 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 For the moment, Gaogaigar. All the lion-y-ness of Voltron, none of the heads sticking out of ankles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Gunbuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JELEINEN Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I'd say Gunbuster, but I'm not entirely sure if he should be counted because it's really more a deconstruction of the genre and not in the true spirit as a real super robot show. Same for Dangaiou. I'll go with GauGaiGar in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDomino Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Voltes V, Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, Daimos, Voltron Lions, and Combattler... in that order since I grew up with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Not sure if its a super robot...i assume so since its "robot of the week" with the same final move each week, one of my personal faves: Ramrod from Saber Rider (or whatever it was called in Japan, some weird name) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grss1982 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 For me its always been Voltes V. Heck, the thing is like a national hero of sorts to pinoys (Filipinos) like me. Voltes V to pinoys is like how The original Gundam was to the Japanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) Ramrod was a pretty cool name then....even now....since my head became all smutty. Who remmebers what they actually said during the transformation sequence? I thought it was pretty cool, with the moosik and all. April: "Ramrod Battle Sequence, Go!" *presses button* Voice (which i presume is Ramrod) : "Acknowledged April" "Ramrod Battle Sequence, On" *ramrod's hull/coat opens* *The control consoles drop to the center....they are all dressed in their battle suits* *The consoles start revolving* *something in between here* .................."roll them out" Then it ends with : "Power strike, ready to ride" Edited December 7, 2005 by wolfx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ask a pinoy why that is, and he'll just say, "Because..." I mean, its not like Voltes V as a super robot is any better than Combattler or Mazinger or Kotetsu Jeeg. I can't even explain why its so damn popular among Filipinos. Someone once said because it was a big symbol of fighting the power since Marcos didn't want foreign things like that to be shown on TV?

There were so many I can't even remember all the names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damaramu Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Never watched super robot shows growing up. I was always into the more "realistic" style mecha shows. I'll just have to go with Gunbuster as I love it's design and one of the first anime series I shelled out cash for (still have my mint condition US Renditions tapes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramrod will now take Navigational control! Ramrod: Acknowledged, April. Navigational control on. Ramrod challenge phase . . . one. Head 'em up, move 'em out! Powerstride, and ready to ride. Ramrod = Optimus Prime = Peter Cullen. http://members.tripod.com/~Star_Sheriffs/fans/saber_ri.mp3 My favs were the force five robots. Gaiking, Grendizer, Starvengers (Getter G), DANGARD ACE.

Seven Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Does anyone remember Macron 1 (aka Goshogun)? They use to show it on LA channel 6 early in the mornings way back in the 80s. Spiral Zone came on right after it. It had the funniest theme song - "MA-MA-MA-MA-MACRON ONE!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrono Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Tough question! I grew up watching Mazinger(Z) & Voltron. But got back into the genre with GetterRobo & Xephon. Raw action wise and nicely rendered up close I gotta go with the Shin GetterRobo. Giant robots need to have bloody scenes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
