VOLTIS V

Voltis V is one of a very cool giant robot animation. He was created by the same person who created Daimos and Combattler V. Even if you did not know that for a fact, just watching the shows you will know.

Both Combattler and Voltis are a team of five that unit to become a great robot. But the similarities go further than this, some might think that one is no more than a recreation for the other! They both start the same way, where the pilots are being called for the first time. The pilots them selves are very a like. 2 young men, an older big guy, a kid and a young woman. I can even add that the robots are very much a like, it is hard for some to till the deference from the first time. Even the parts that make up the robot are of the same parts "Head, Arms, body, legs and feet". In simple word, all that make Voltis V exciting, is the same that make Combattler V exciting.

Chodenji Robo Combattler V was such a big hit in Japan that Toei (with Nippon Sunrise) had to make a robot that was practically a duplicate of Combattler V, right down to the transformation design! What, however, makes Voltes Five so good that it stands out on its own? Let's find out.

Spoiler time! Many years ago, a child was born to a boazan noble who was without horns. His parents fitted fake horns for him, but he grew up wondering why the hornless ones were treated as slaves. This prince became Minister of Science, and got married and had a son. He was next in line to be emperor, but the prince Zambojir exposed him as hornless. Thus Zambojir became emperor and the rightful heir became a slave revolt leader. Eventually, he escaped, landed on Earth, adopted the name Kentarou Gou and married Mitsuyo Gou. He fathered three children, Kenichi, Daijirou and Hiyoshi. Professor Gou then left the earth with a super robot, Voltes V. He went back to Boazan Star, and his wherabouts are unknown
