THE SUPER ROBOT RED BARON / Nippon Gendai, Senkousha - Series from 1973-74

It's Fightin' Giant Robot Friday the 13th with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. This series has a young man piloting the Red Baron robot, rather than a robot controlled by a small device. Here is episode 5 from the first season titled, "Smash The Mysterious Rocket Operation!" It's about the SSI (Secret Science Investigation) Team who find out the reason behind their enemy's artificial rain experiments. The 'poster' here is actually a Polydor 45 record sleeve of the theme.

Eegah!! sent over a cool lil' soundclip of the theme and more for our earjoyment, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button next to the giant robot boot (it's all we could afford), NOW, Rufus The Gnat! Here's a taste of... THE SUPER ROBOT RED BARON!

Warning!!.. Don't mess with our hero, Super Robot Red Baron... Red Baron!

Here's their formidible opponents, the Iron Mask Party with its array of giant metal monsters and is led by the evil President Deviler.

This is the headquarters of the SSI Team. I swear, the head dude in the background looks like he's smoking a freakin' joint! In a closeup, it even looks like one.

There's even a good looking female SSI member! In a action filled fight, this Deviler Dude rudely grabs her boob!!

And, the result of his action!..

President Deviler sends out one of his deadly robots to tear up part of the city!

Super Robot Red Baron is called into action and our hero jumps in to man the big guy!

He looks out of one of the eyes as he focuses on the approaching enemy!

The bad guys always have something devilish up their sleeve!

When you see this on the screen, you know Red Baron is ready to throw a POWER PUNCH!!

The SSI Team finally figure out the reason behind the artificial rain experiments, it increases the Deviler robot's destructive power by drawing energy from the lightning!

Caption sez it all!

We'll end with a good look at our hero, Super Robot Red Baron! Tune in tomorrow when Eegah!! will bring us a psychedelic roller coaster ride!
