Three trucks merge into a super robot that causes horrifying destruction. Guess that’s what happens when Tomino directs a super robot show.

This week in Tomino month, the Buff Clan and the inhabitants of planet Solo begin fighting a meaningless war based on a misunderstanding, and Michael and Peter try to figure it out.

When giant robots and fantasy collide, we apparently end up with a guy driving a motorcycle behind a bunch of unicorn-mounted cavalry.

This week in Tomino month, we take a look at Aura Battler Dunbine, an odd show that takes place below the surface of the earth.

Fang of the Sun Dougram, a show about a kid who learns how to pilot a giant robot and uses it to fight relatively realistic battles against the sinister Earth Federation. Sound familiar?

Five teenagers. Five vehicles. One giant robot. Stop me if you’ve heard this one.

This week, we watched a terribly produced compilation of Voltes V made for American audiences. Why didn’t Toonami show more super robot stuff?
