FEAST!!!

[magengar]

"Feast", my left butt! That's a King's BANQUET!!!

Posters, Mangas, Toy ads.... wow! Awesome find indeed!
And I like the quality of those images.
I've been trying to find a good image of GoLion's Japanese logo
for use as a DVD label. Those are perfect, because I can still
enlarge the image to a super-high resolution and then solidify
the color pallets by hand with MS Paint.

Thaaaaaaanks!

Now I'm starting to see a pattern:

it's that Cutaway View.

First the Mazingers, then Grendizer, and now I see it again with Golion.
Makes me wonder who came up with that idea, Go Nagai or Toei?
If not either one of them, Who?

Yuusha Raideen (1975) was also displayed with a cutaway view in some
episodes while being repaired, and then again on some artwork
in early Japanese magazines.
Raideen is owned by Tohokushinsha Studios.

So, that would lead me to believe that the famous robot Cutaway View
was a classic common gesture shared between Japanese animation studios
to show young viewers the differences between Fantasy and Reality,
Organic and Mechanical, Logical and Magical...
As a way of saying "Kids, here's what your favorite robot hero
looks like Inside"... no matter which character it was,
they were all robots. And showing them in Cutaway View added to
the visual excitement.

Raideen is a peculiar robot, apart from the Mazingers and Golion.
The other robots suffered mechanical damages now and then, and required
maintenance crews and technicians to repair them.
Not with Raideen. He still needed some tech assistance; but he did
most of his own repairs even while in battle.
Raideen's Mutron powers enabled him to regenerate his damaged armor.
He was a sentient being in mechanical form with Self-Healing powers.
In Cutaway View, Raideen looked like some weird alien cockpit with
components almost resembling internal organs. lol

Nice images Baron!
I always get a laugh at robot elbow joints that are not even bothered to be drawn bending at the actual elbow, but just magically bent in some random spot in the smooth part of the forearm , hahaha!

And it begins.
How long until we actually see a functioning voltron. So a moving gundam is being built I am working with a pretty cool robot myself, my 4 yr old son wants to build a real voltron when he grows up and we have this technology already then where will we be when my son is 25 ya old. The thought of these toys as just toys is now longer just a dream the technology is catching up with the imaginations of the creator of these cartoons and toys and I'm sure one day in my lifetime we will see a real life version of the elusive Mr. Voltron Lionbot BeastKing Golion. That his name in full for the record at
