I also lived in the Midlands with Central TV, and I remember this being on late morning as well as I watched this religiously every week. What a time to be a child!!
This show freaked me out when I was a kid. I remember I was at Viking Skate Country in Redding Ca when I first saw this obscure piece of Japanese media, it was was playing non-stop for some kid's birthday or something on the large screen T.V. in the lounge area. Star Fleet X Bomber was strange a mixture of Thunderbirds are Go and Voltron and since I was coming at it for the first time during the later part of series I couldn't make heads or tails of what I was watching. However it did leave a lasting impression in my memory, and I always wondered later on in my life: "What was that Voltron/Thunderbird that I saw back in the early 80's?" Well now I know, and knowing is half the battle!
Man! Used to watch these every Friday evening after elementary or secondary school with my little brother in Trinidad in Caribbean. Then we missed the last finale episode because the stupid electricity went out!! What a bummer! :( Going to look for that final episode right now on UA-cam!
These days, a modern model kit of this exists, and it's accurate enough for this cool machine. Its name: Big Dai-X! I think in the original English version, this is simply called Dai-X.
Jesus christ i forgot just how good this was.... We were spoiled in the 80's. Lets just compare this to the absolute garbage kids are spoonfed these days.
Both. When Dai X moved it was a man in the suit, same as the imperial Master. Dai X was awesome. So awesome that I did end up buying one of the original toy dolls from Japan on eBay.
Only noticed this recently the assimilation of Picard by the Borg from Star Trek TNG is predated by 2 episodes of this programme . Makara who is the queen / commander mental manipulating of one of the heroes allies then has him fitted with cybernetic implants and used against his former comrades . Maybe superficial to some but they’ll get over it 😁
Awesome series. Proof of some very HIGH quality voice casting can be heard around 6:10; you can almost taste and feel the anger in Cmd. Makara. The way she spits out the retreat order; totally awesome. Add the high quality voice actors to an even high quality sound track and then it becomes obvious why this is such a big hit with people who've seen (and lived!) the series.
That Dia/Dai x robot thing was bad! I could never remember the name of this series but remember loving it as a child! Been randomly typing in things I remembered online to search for the source.
I,m close to 39, and have this on dvd, Cool series and i still watch this, brilliant series by go-nagai on lwt at 11.30 am on sunday. Remember this well-Dr.benn voice by peter marinker is also the voice of Capatain goto on the Patlabor movies as well.
I saw the New Captain Scarlet CGI series. It's quite good, indeed, they managed to keep the original's dark tone pretty well. Also, a remake of the Thunderbirds series had been planned some time ago, apparently using a combination of CGI and advanced electronic puppets, unfortunately the project was shelved and never developped. I think you can find a trailer for it around UA-cam.
Its old but A lot of fun to watch. I just wish someone would put it back on TV soon. So A new group of kid's can see it and then get A idea for A future show.
watched this then turned over to the other side to watch bmx beat with andy ruffel and gaz top then out to play and break me neck trying to do a front endo.them were the days..
I have missed this i can't even remember the title once i saw it i remembered the old cartoons. This is much better than "Team America" was that the title ah i forgot again!
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question. It's really appreciated. If I knew you in reality, I would definitely buy you a drink. Or some cake. Or waffles maybe. Whatever, thank you very much! Have a great day!
Go Nagai it is. If you want to know more about the series goto the fanpage sfxb dot co dot uk, it's the most complete site on this series that I know of. The Ideon Mecha have been designed by Submarine (source: Anime News Network) and directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino.
O.K i might have been a bit hasty and made a mistake ...your quite right ;Thunderbirds' live action movie was a total flop ..... I just thought this would be great as a movie and with the advanced puppetry like ypu said or even CGI this and even thunderbirds would be quitte spectacular ... i know they did a CGI version of Captain Scarlett but only as a tv series ! shame really cause that would be great as a live action movie with the right producer and actors !!... Captain Scarlet I mean ! LOL
Probably the first tv show that really captivated me and made me want to follow the story each week. Still love it even to this day.
Saturday in the ITV Central region... it was on just before the wrestling and we had to pick Mum up from work after it aired.
Good times
I also lived in the Midlands with Central TV, and I remember this being on late morning as well as I watched this religiously every week.
What a time to be a child!!
12.30, I used to ride to the chippy and had to be back for the start.
Godamn i am 38 and I am still getting goosebumps haha
i get that when i see an epic power ranger moment
The full run of the show is now on UA-cam. Finished binge-watching it late last night
to a 4 year boy this was exciting beyound description. Nothing in my life has been this exciting since.
I watched this EVERY saturday morning. When they made the red robot. thats when you knew shit was about to go down!!!
Proper kids entertainment 👌 non of the shit we have today! Used to watch it every time as a kid.. brilliant 👏

I am 36 now... I was watching this when I was young in the Philippines , this was my favorite morning show.
I remember i use to. Watch it on a Saturday Mornings, when i was about, 12 or 13 it always bring back Memories,
On ITV early Saturday mornings during the early 1980s. Great memories of this program.
Forget your Zords, this is the real shit.
Man! Used to watch these every Friday evening after elementary or secondary school with my little brother in Trinidad in Caribbean. Then we missed the last finale episode because the stupid electricity went out!! What a bummer! :(

I loved this as a kid. And Terrer hawkes. Oh and Jas and the wheeled warriors.👍
What!!!!!! I forgot about this man...holy shit this was so freaking awesome.
One of my favourites as a kid yeeeeeeeeeaaaahhh those little metal balls that rolled around freaked me out lol
Yyyyaaaaaarrrrrrr...pound, smash, blast. Awesome.
These days, a modern model kit of this exists, and it's accurate enough for this cool machine. Its name: Big Dai-X!
I think in the original English version, this is simply called Dai-X.
The year is 2999 and the gingers are the dominant race.
Jesus christ i forgot just how good this was.... We were spoiled in the 80's.
Lets just compare this to the absolute garbage kids are spoonfed these days.
I remember that cool combo
0:04 Klingon X-Wing of Prey 😂
Someone remake this for 2020+ NOW! F%@#!ing awsome!
This is Power Rangers on steroids, Thunder Birds ain't a patch on this 🙌
Thunderbirds was a different kind of show, so you can't really compare them.
This was before the Power Rangers have that idea!!
Dai X joining was the bomb... Nothing compared to it since.. it's what I watched it for..
Godbless you son
Kids would like it
Child Hood days..
小时候对这部动画印象特深，组合巨型机器人像恐龙战队里的佐德机器人。
i cant tell if Dai X is a puppet or a guy in a suit
Both. When Dai X moved it was a man in the suit, same as the imperial Master.
Dai X was awesome. So awesome that I did end up buying one of the original toy dolls from Japan on eBay.

It just occurred to me that Dai-X's face looks like a Mexican wrestlers mask.
Jesus...i was six or seven years old ahah
if Thunderbrids and Voltron had a baby (not the lion voltron the weird Vehicle one)
I find it hilarious that only one of them has a helmet!😅
All basis destroyed, whaaaaaaht 🤣🤣
I always watched this when I was a child in Italy. Italian opening is pure 80's rock!
My childhood right there!
My childhood was amazing. God bless youtube for the revival of things like this.
I now feel really old and it's amazing, used to love this, come in from playing outside to watch it then back out again.
God bring me a time machine !
better than today's 3D cartoons.

My first waifu. I was 6. BY YOUR DIVINE GUIDANCE!
"EH .... ehhhhh....our base is totally destroyed"

Still remember this, I think I saw it when I just began to remember things

I think the RAF and army should research and develop a Dai X.

This should be made in to a live action movie ......it's just f**King Awsome !!!!
