IntellivisionDude Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 If i had an Optimus Prime i'd gladly display it. No discrimination on my channel. I am very much enjoying the Transformer's dvd set Voltron sent me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionDude Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nope never seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0B 1ob1aw Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) It was on during the late 70's to early 80's. They always played it after school in the UHF channels. It was around the same time they always played Star Blazers. Some the Force Five robots were sold and marketed in the US as the "Shogun Warrior" series. Sold as large 24" action figure type things, that shot out all kinds of missles - choking and eye injury stuff that would be banned now. They also had smaller die cast ones. http://en.wikipedia....Warriors_(toys) I wanted a "Mazinger" for christmas, but my parents ghetto'd out and got me the glue together plastic model one for a fraction of the price. I wouldn't have cared if the damned plastic wasn't so thin and brittle! Edited January 23, 2013 by B0B 1ob1aw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar G. Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 They also had smaller die cast ones. Yep, I remember those robots. I didn't know they were called Force 5/Shogun Warriors. My mom bought my brothers and me some of the die cast models. Very cool toys. If I remember well this was the summer of 1980 and the Toy store was Toys R Us in Torrance, California. Ah... the memories... Pac Man Fever was a hit song at the time and I got my first Atari for my birthday that summer. $139.99 in Kmart. I still have the robots somewhere. I will try to dig them out and post a picture. They are a little bit beaten up tough. Too much playing with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I used to watch Mazinger Z on TV (in Spanish!) when I was a kid, and I loved it. That must have been in the late 70's. I wonder if its available on DVD... (Pac-Man Fever? I had the record. I still do!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 I remember watching 2 tv shows when i was a kid but only remember the name of the first one. I lived in a Detroit suburb so maybe anybody who also got detroit tv stations back then might help me remember, it would of been either channel 20 or 50 in the late 70's early 80's. The one i remember was Ultraman. I loved Ultraman and finally picked up the dvd set last year. The one i can't remember the name to i'm pretty sure came on right after Ultraman and it was also a Japanese show like Ultraman and it's main hero was a big robot kind of Voltron in size. But it wasn't a man transforming into a robot or anything transforming into it. I think they either just called it when in trouble or it just showed up. And that's just if i'm not mistaken. It's been a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 After doing a quick google search i think i have found it. This seems eerily familiar. Almost positive this is it.

+DZ-Jay Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Ultraman! Yup, I recall that. I bought the series on DVD last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar G. Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (Pac-Man Fever? I had the record. I still do!) Pac-Man Fever Remake by Astrosmash... there is the Intellivision connection! BTW INTV Pac Man... best home conversion of its generation! Mazzinger Z another classic. I do not know about DVD's... I will keep my antennas up.

I never saw that record. The one I have is the album that contains all sorts of crappy video game songs that never made it past the novelty stage: Frogger, Defender, Donkey Kong, etc. It contains the various "keys" to solve the mazes on the record sleeve. -dZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltron Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The video demonstrates Voltron was never really gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have a die cast Voltron but one of the legs on the black lion broke when I was attaching the blue lion the foot wasn't straight or rotated while I was connecting it. I hope to get another one soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterZero Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Masterpiece Starscream watches over mine. I loved Astro Boy, Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato), Battle of the Planets (Gatchaman) and Robotech (Macross). - J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
