Gatchaman - Battle of the Planets - G-Force



AKA-Gatchaman, G-Force & Eagle Riders
IS ABOUT 5 TEENAGERS WHO, IN TIMES OF NEED, CAN TRANSMUTE (TRANSFORM) INTO 5 SUPER POWERED HEROES, NAMED G-FORCE WHO PROTECT THE EARTH FROM INVADING FORCES FROM OUTER SPACE.
EACH HERO HAD A DIFFERENT VEHICLE THAT HE OR SHE DROVE. THIER MAIN ENEMY WHO WAS NAMED ZOLTAR, WOULD SEND GIANT ROBOTS DOWN TO EARTH TO TRY & DESTROY IT. THE SHOW WAS ORIGINALLY NAMED GATCHAMAN IN JAPAN.

THE COOLEST THING WAS FINDING OUT LATE IN THE SERIES THAT ZOLTAR WAS IN FACT A WOMAN. UPDATE: I ACTUALLY FOUND OUT THAT ZOLTAR HAD THE ABILITY TO CHANGE SEXES AT WILL!

G-FORCE TEAM

MARK IS THE LEADER OF THE TEAM. A CLEAR THINKER WHO NEVER LET HIS ANGER GET THE BEST OF HIM. HE SEARCHED FOR HIS FATHER, FINDING OUT IT WAS COL.CRONUS LATE IN THE SERIES. HE WORE A WHITE SUIT THAT LOOKED LIKE AN EAGLE.

JASON,WAS SECOND IN COMMAND. HE OFTEN LOST HIS TEMPER, WANTING TO SHOOT FIRST & ASK QUESTIONS LATER. HIS SUIT WAS PURPLE & MADE TO LOOK LIKE A FALCON.

PRINCESS WAS THE FEMALE OF THE GROUP. QUICK & AGILE, SHE COULD TAKE ANY MAN. HER SUIT WAS WHITE & MADE TO LOOK LIKE A DOVE.

TINY WAS THE PILOT OF THEIR SHIP THE PHOENIX. HE WAS OVERWEIGHT BUT, HE COULD KICK THE CRAP OUT OF ANYBODY. HIS SUIT WAS BROWN & HE LOOKED LIKE AN OWL.

KEYOP WAS THE YOUNGEST KID. HE WAS SHORT & COULD ONLY SPEAK IN BLIPS & BLOOPS (WHICH SOMETIMES MADE ME FEEL THAT HE WAS AN ALIEN HIMSELF). HIS SUIT WAS YELLOW & HE LOOKED LIKE A SPARROW. IN BOTH THE ORIGINAL, GATCHAMAN SHOW & THE G-FORCE SHOW, HE SPOKE NORMALLY.

THE AMERICAN VERSION OF THE SHOW NAMED BATTLE OF THE PLANETS, FEATURED TWO CHARACTERS.
7 ZARK 7 & 1 ROVER 1. TWO ROBOTS WHO STAYED IN THE BASE & WOULD CHECK UP ON THE TEAM FROM TIME TO TIME. SURE, THEY WERE USELESS & ANNOYING BUT, YOU COULDN'T HELP BUT LIKE THESE GUYS. EVEN IF THE ANIMATION WAS REAL BAD (ESPECIALLY WHEN MARK, VOICED BY KASEY KASEM, WOULD DROP BY). I MISS THESE GUYS ON SABAN'S VERSION OF THE SHOW CALLED G-FORCE.
THE TEAMS NAMES ON SABAN'S SHOW ARE DIFFERENT TOO.
