Now you're cooking with gas.
Kotetsu Jeeg was an oldschool 70's super robot anime, created by Go Nagai, who is considered the father of robot anime - among his creations are classics such as Getter Robo and Mazinger Z. The story is centered around this kid named Hiroshi, a racecar driver who gets into a wreck and has his body restored by his father shortly before he dies. It's afterward that Hiroshi finds out his dad turned him into a cyborg, and that he can now transform into the head of a robot called Kotetsu Jeeg. (Trans.: Steel Jeeg) What Jeeg brought to the table as far as mech designs go was it's interchanging parts. Jeeg starts off as only the head the transformed Hiroshi, and then the rest of it's body parts are launched to it individually by a plane, the Big Shooter. Individual parts all link at major joints and thus can be swapped out individually, leading not just to hot-swapping to repair damage, but to interchangeable weapons such as Jeeg's Mach Drills, which replace his hands, or a four-legged horse attachment that changes in at the waist and effectively turns Jeeg into a centaur. It also made for really awesome action figures. EDIT: Spanish OP for Kotetsu Jeeg. Where it is evidently called, "Jeeg Robot."

Could you be so kind as to tell me about the original? |

Hey kids! It's Go Nagai, presenting Kotetsushin Jeeg! That's right. Kotetsushin Jeeg. It's not a typo. It's a remake. It's going to be on TV in Japan in April. And it's going to be fucking awesome. I swear to God I'm going to punch someone in half if there isn't a Soul of Chogokin made of this. The very same if Daimos isn't remade in this string of "everything old is new again" releases. |
