Space Giants?

[zensphere]

Many, many years ago, I watched a show called "Space Giants." It was perhaps a predecessor to such things as the "Transformers, " and can possibly even be an early link to the "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers," as well.<br /><br />However - I seem to have a difficult time finding people that watched this show as well. In retrospect, it honestly seems that it was quite a good show for it's time. <br /><br />Going to attach a picture of the main characters. They were the "leads," and enjoyable to watch (in my mind), way back when.

hhahhaha that's gotta be the corniest characters I've ever seen. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

Something about those pics somehow screams out "Japanese sci fi" to me.<br /><br />Just for kicks, I'd recommend seeking out an online directory of Japanese programs that made their way across the ocean to U.S. television. There *has* to be such a thing somewhere.<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

Ah... just found this:<br /><br />http://www.alphalink.com.au/~roglen/space_giants.htm<br /><br />And this:<br /><br />http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061299/<br /><br />And lo and behold, there's even a Wikipedia entry:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Giants<br /><br />There be giants everywhere! They're everywhere! <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

Well, thanks for the links. Pretty sure I've looked at most of those at some point in time or other. I guess maybe I was hoping to "talk" to someone else that might have seen it.<br /><br />And, spacefire, you are right. They are/were pretty corny characters. But sometimes that's what makes it fun.

Original title is "Magma taishi" (a ambassador of magma)<br />Transform process from "man" to "rocket" is strange and mysterious...(It's impossible geometrically).<br />
