Getter RoboThe very first example of a combining super robot. And one of the most iconic figures among the classic mecha shows of the 70's.
This is not only meant to be a homage to one of my favourite robots, but also a user-made and user-moderated encyclopedia about the Getters. To discuss, to compare, to question and to answer. These are the goals of this thread.
Sorry for the epic introduction, I felt it was needed... Anyway! This is the Getter Canon, ask away! Whether it is height, weight, power, enemies, allies, weapons, characters, locations, works or any other thing Getter-related, it belongs right here.
Just to clarify, I'm still learning things about the Getter universe. I became interested in mechas and super robots not too long ago, so now I'm left with tons and tons of stuff to read and watch, if I am to catch up to some of the veterans of this forum. That'll make things even more interesting, because I'll be learning with you guys 
So, without any further ado, start your topic of choice and let's begin! |

I'm pretty familiar with the Getter Robots, up to the Shin Getters... well, not really.  However, any other Getter incarnation after the Shin Getter Robots 1-2-3, + Black Getter, is unfamiliar to me. Yes, I've heard about Getter Ark, and,Getter Emperor, but I have no real knowledge of them. Would be awesome if those were throughly covered here, but with official info only - Please!  }D |

Will do! I've planned to track down the Getter Robo mangas for that, since Getter Ark (or Getter Ah, as some may call it) didn't receive an anime rendition. Same goes for Getter Emperor, I know you can see it for a few seconds in one of the Last Day OVAs (Getter Robo Armageddon in the US), but is seen more and in more detail in some of the mangas. As soon as I get my hands on them, I'll post some info here, regarding those 2 robots Also, I'd have to keep an eye out for that new Dino Getter manga about to come out... see if it's any good... |

It is good and I recommend it if you want to approach the Getter universe from the "safe" side and then, if you liked the OAVs you can check out the mangas, they have the same dark, awesome feel. You said you have most of the shows. You mean DVDs of the original series from the 70's? |

To be honest i didnt like shin getter robo armagadon because it was so dark & the world was destroyed but it was amusing to watch yes i have the original series for getter robo & getter robo G both Japanese with English subtitles |

These are the Getters that I know of. There might be more. Did you copy/paste all of that from some list? I just say it because there's some repetitions in there, Getters listed with slightly dfferent names which in reality are the same robot. Also, if you had to write all of that down by memory, you'd go insane Getter Q is Getter Queen right? Should we consider her to be part of the Getter Canon? I don't know the role it plays in the manga, but in the show Getter Queen is a mechasaurus, right? Isn't it piloted by the princess of the Dinosaur Empire, the daughter of Gore? |

yes i have the original series for getter robo & getter robo G both Japanese with English subtitles Wow, you lucky dude they're great series, if you dig 70's robot shows. My 2 cents, don't rush through them, you might even get bored that way, since the episodes are a bit repetitive in general. So take your time. The first series, Getter Robo, has it's strong points: in the first episodes it will be common to see Ryo, Hayato and Musashi argue about something, quite violently sometimes. The Dinosaur Empire is a formidable foe sometimes, and the mecha design is interesting. Getter Robo G is the weaker one, for me: the Empire of the 100 Demons and Emperor Brai are far less interesting than Gore and its minions (despite acting in the same way, more or less), the enemy mechas are less memorable here, and Benkei Kuruma is not as fun as Musashi Tomoe was... But the new Getter Robo is pretty damn strong specially after Dr. Saotome upgrades it so it can perform the Getter Shine attack  Also, the last episodes of Getter Robo G. I won't lie, manly tears were shed when I watched those episodes... I may recommend the series just because of those scenes, hehe. But as I said, take your time, if you want to enjoy them properly |

Getter Q (aka Getter Queen) is the equivalent of Minerva X from Mazinger Z. Both were enemies turned good at the last minute... then destroyed.

Yeah, it served that purpose. Just like Minerva X, it resembled the robot protagonist and was an enemy turned good just before it was too late But Minerva X was planned for construction by Koji's grandfather right? To be the partner robot of Mazinger Z, and then agents of Dr. Hell stole the plans, so that he could build her as a mechanical beast and send her to Japan. Then as we all know, as soon as Minerva saw Mazinger, her "heart" activated and became good. Getter Queen on the other hand was just an enemy mechasaurus, a super robot, and Gore's daughter was the one who hated her father and wanted peace between dinosaurs and humans *sniff* well that's the main difference. Kinda shows huh, Dr. Hell didn't understand the meaning of the "heart" in Minerva X, he built her anyway ad sent her to combat, not a very smart scientist. Gore constantly argued with his daughter about the meaning of the ongoing war, and didn't even try to understand her, sending her to fight the Getter Team anyway, not a very good father  |

Did you copy/paste all of that from some list? It was a list I made years ago on another forum with some new additions, like Dino Getter. I just say it because there's some repetitions in there, Getters listed with slightly dfferent names which in reality are the same robot. The TV, manga and OVA Getter Robo have slightly different designs and are also from different continuities. Same goes for Getter Robo G and Shin Getter Robo. Despite sharing the same names as the classic Getter Robo, Hien and DASH's Getters have completely different designs. It's like those various Supermen from the DC multiverse where some of them look exactly alike but aren't the same person. |

I know, I know that, you're talking with a fellow fan right here I was referring to things like "Shin Dragon/Liger/Poseidon" and "Shin Getter Dragon", though I think I got what it means: the first one is Shin Getter Robo G, the one you see in the last OAV of Armageddon, which can transform between Dragon, Liger and Poseidon forms, while the second one is the not-yet-formed Shin Getter Robo G, the one you see in the beginning of Armageddon, right? |

Shin Getter Dragon is the one from the Daikessen video game. It doesn't "open get" nor does it have Liger and Poseidon modes. However it's still able to access their weapons.

Ah that explains it, thanks. I haven't played that game, nor any of the SRW video games, so I'm not familiar with video game-specific variations of robots  On another note, it's interesting what they did with Shin Dragon in the last Armageddn OVA. Getter Robo is known for the fact that it's a combiner right? And all of the variations of Getters can open get into 3 smaller ships and re-attach in different combinations to form the 3 robots. Not this one though, Shin Getter Robo G is just a transforming robot. Even if the transformations are some of the weirdest I've ever seen |

What, no poll in the OP? YOU BLEW IT, MF Don't worry Tetsuryu, we can still add it That's actually something I thought for this thread, giving it a poll just like in the Mazinger Canon. The fact is, there are many, many variations of the Getter Robo, some famous and some obscure. I don't think I should add them all to the poll, I'd have to pick carefully... EDIT: Done! In the end, I went for the 3 Getters which got a TV show, in chronological order: Getter Robo, Robo G and Getter Robo Go, which aired in the early 90's. Then the notorious Shin Getter, which appeared both in Getter Robo Armageddon and in the Shin Getter VS Neo Getter OVAs. In the end, I needed another entry, and I was going to include Neo Getter or New Getter, but finally went for Ryoma's customized Getter 1, since I think more people remember it, despite being seen for just a handful of scenes. |
