Dai X Junction and Battle from Star Fleet

[boffinme80]

I always thought of Star Fleet as the "Early Power Rangers" Anyone else think that aswell?

[shaider1982]

Wow! I watched this when I was still a kid. It was shown here in the Philippines at channel 7.

[BrainComm487]

For me, always and forever, the ultimate Mecha. : '- )

[romainechester]

Shows in the early days had more 'heart.'

It's like a guy genuinely attracted to a girl vs one who just wants to get in her pants.

[poopipeplunger]

Better than any of the CGI shit kids watch these days..

[markjcairns]

You can now buy this awesome "Dai-X Junction" theme and the rest of the brand new Original Soundtrack by original composer, Paul Bliss direct from the producer at starfleetsoundtrack(dot)com -- we'll have the full website up soon...

[jim22277]

I loved this when i was a kid, still knocks the crap out of any kids show

today.........thanks for the memories

[BoogieKnight1976]

The Dai X was the most awesome thing in any puppet show.

[AshleyMarkPomeroy]

Cor, I remember this. It still looks pretty slick, and top marks for making space blue instead of boring old black. It made Terrahawks look a bit crap.

[tiasarahellielorna]

dai x never got injured ard as fuck!

[monster762]

Combining fast, maneuverable, hard to hit little ships into a slow, clumsy, easy target robot made so much sence when I was a kid.

[glen8107]

the old one two great.

[JIJIKK39]

At that time, I watched this.

To our regret, this was unpopular in Japan.

[jammydodger998877]

That ginger dude looks like Boris Johnson!

[Apophisguard]

"Lets give em the old one two..."

[syncopatedsteve]

Haha, that's a classic "WHAAAAAT" at the end. Brilliant!

[UKstylee]

Giant robots FTW.

[BigLupeRakimDee2]

And yet, these two minutes are MUCH more interesting than the entirety of all Power Rangers episodes.

[mos6507]

Terrible porn synth music.

[VANHELSING433]

I want a Dai-x

[PenultimateBadass]

What is happening?! Orion, answer me at once!

Er, uh, our base is totaly destroyed!

WHAAAATT!!!

[apincle]

do we ever see the Luke skywalker type dude without his helmet?

[cristianruiz1972]

Me gustó la parte que la jefa pregunta a su comandante que esta pasando, el le responde que la base secreta esta siendo (o fué ) destruida y la jefa dice:¿QUE?.

[BlueKyne]

It's like Voltron meets Thunderbirds.....sorta, kinda cool.

That head bad guy looked alot like the main villian from the old "Message From Space" movie.

[shaldon55]

dai x would kick anybodys ass even king kong!!!!!

[albeanmagz19]

0:04 and 0:11 sounds like quagmire lols

[DCshizuko]

I dont know why but it reminds me of thunderbirds combined with power rangers! :) This might just be the best program ever! Apart from Xena...and the simpsons oh and farscape and round the twist ...

[stuprestonexperience]

Barry Hercules! COOL AS FUCK!

[shaunpaikai]

2:07 - Lady GaGa

[smidsyonfire]

Now you can see where the Power Rangers concept started out !

[Perro2569]

The concept of power rangers comes much earlier than this with super sentai

[smidsyonfire]

Fantastic !

I still think a sailing ship flying around the star system is a little weird though !

[Dynaman21]

Worked for Harlock.

[KaitainCPS]

Is it Shiro who has the button that makes the Dai-X roar like a drunken gorilla?

[hanchiman]

Holy Shit! I used to watch this in The Children Channel during the mid 80's! Never knew what the name was it! Thank for clearing it up for me! :D

p.s I even saw the last episode without knowing what was going on, as I didnt know English back then.

[madmangamaker]

that kid with the orange hair is creep'n me out @_@

[catpainblakudder]

Space Pilot John Lee!

[mkeysou812]

he's the comic relief

[Waveman617]

Man why didn't we get this in the U.S.???

[ste309w]

Was Dai X a bloke in suit like godzilla and the power rangers, or was he a puppet. Its difficult to tell.

[ExcelsiorUK]

Both in fact - on land, walking around, it's a bloke in a suit.  In space, it's just models.

[zakaslamuk]

hi iam zak age 35 i used to watch sarfllet when i was a kid This is awesome you younger dudes dont under stand live was handed on a cable for you *unts

[Tony4United4eva]

This is one my childhood all time favs...and it still is concerning the cool looking X-Bomber and Dai-X. I still have the X-Bomber replica which my cousin bought for me years ago when he was in the US studying. Awesome classic...I pray they have it in DVD...want to relive the sensation again! Dai X Junction!

[otowise]

it is on dvd now you can find it on amazon i had to get it needed a blast from the past well worth it hope you get it :)

[GreyFox2000]

that was a slow combination. and yes power rangers lack story.

[darthreaper007]

Star Fleet, if not already on DVD box set, they should do it. This was always a million times better than Poncerbirds..

[OptimusSledge]

I really hope we get a top notch collectors toy of Dai X.

[Elementa2006]

Even after all those years since the 70's, everyone still digs Giant Robots.

Some interesting, this show was created by Go Nagai, the same man who created Getter Robo, Mazinger Z, Mazinkaiser and Grendizer, basically the creator of the piloted Giant Robot concept

[bigg3469]

I rremembered this show! I saw it in spanish on KVEA CH.52 Los Angeles. What odd is that... THEY NEVER SHOWN THE ORIGINAL TITLE IN EITHER JAPANESE OR SPANISH NOR THE NAME OF THE SERIES! Let alone they did shown the closing credits neither!(generic) But Now I now the series name! Thanks!

[psiro1699]

Although this is around 25 yearrs old, it's worth noting that the special effects and stories are still better than Power Rangers today. Kid today are being short-changes big style.

[marxb]

sad but true psiro1699

[sherman4970]

used to love this.

[shakesomeass]

has anyone got a release date for the dvds?

[benfieldneil]

not long now till its out on dvd im gonna be having a total star fleet day

[shakesomeass]

i fancied makara-and was scared shitless at the same time-didnt shiro or dr ben get kidnapped by her and have an insect thing stuck to his face-and i fancied the other bird too-nice one for all these excelsior-have spend all night watching these..cant wait for the dvds..

[sword4thelord]

That was Captain Carter. The boys thought she killed him when wasting Pluto Base in episode 1. But she brought him back later and stuck a lobster on his head, brainwashing him. He really dished it out to the X Bomber crew until Shiro decided to have a one on one showdown with him... where Carter was mortally wounded but reconciled with Shiro before death.Always made me laugh how he kept half of his dodgy shades... even though they'd stuck the lobster to the other side of his face.

[shakesomeass]

thanx for putting me straight dude....well impressed...

[footlover2345]

fuckiong loved this show when i was a kid if i remember was shown on a sunday morning at 11

[rewfunk]

was it sundays thought it was saturdays but your probably wright, seems like a long time ago now!!!

[sword4thelord]

Saturday's for me...it was on Central just before the wrestling (Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks era). I always used to watch it while my dad picked up my mum from work.

[rewfunk]

on before the wrestling lol! oh those were the days TV used to be so good whats happened to it??

[Magnarakku]

Hahah, the ending is so funny...

"Uh... uh... our base is totaly destroyed..."

"WHAAAAAAT?!?!"

XD rofl

[glynchandeliers]

Nothing bets 'The old one, two'

[plarkmoby]

I was watching this not quite knowing if I'd seen this before. Then I saw the Robot and it all came flooding back!

Wow...

How could I have forgotten? Five stars.

[Sabidelx]

Nevermind, you already did, lol.

[ExcelsiorUK]

Not quite - DVD isn't out just yet, these are from some encoding I did from very, very old US tapes of the series. The DVD will be better as it will be the UK version of the series, which is longer...

[Sabidelx]

Will you be buying the DVD and posting clips from it and whatnot?

[benfieldneil]

i can hardly contain myself at the sheer thought and exitment of this being released on dvd there should be a convention or starfleet club i would sure join and meet to share starfleet storys LOL

[uks1977]

I love the betamax classic fading sound... it's cause the sound info was held on the edge of the tape - where it's liable for damage! LOL I've so missed that!

[oberon1970]

Is this EVER coming out on DVD in the uk?

[ExcelsiorUK]

Yes it is - later this year. See my channel and website for more details!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Coming out the end of June according to HMV.

[Kapricorn1]

FanflamingTastic

Big Dai X, the coolest robot ever, and on DVD soon? W00T!!!

[purplepower420]

i think is better in anime or real life cause human looking looks weird.

[fabuser]

the UK company that is releasing The Mysterious Cities of Gold DVD is releasing the entire series of STAR FLEET on DVD later this year.. !!! WOW ! can't wait.

[bdpickett]

I always thought thunderbirds would be great if only they had a giant robot. I think this show proves it.

[Carpking7]

Man me and my Bro's used to watch this Shout out to "Gavin Ross" AKA The Gav. All give a sout to Gav Ross

[grev022]

hope the stuntman in the robot suit took out life insurance... that's a LOT of fireworks being aimed at him

[baddab5]

This show was the balls, when I was growing up,Captain Shiro Hagan, Lord Barry Hercules and Fat Sam Lee. Fuck Yeah!

[SupMaximi]

Wasn't X-Bomber was the real name in japan, or ever since it was released in 1983 for the english dub...

They are like of the dub, from Mighty Moppin Power Ranger, Masked Rider, or any other stuff??

-Favic

[kiaoramai]

I was only 5 or 6 when I first remember this program. I use to love it so much. Thanks everyone who placed these on the internet. I have been searching for so long.

[alaniphillips]

HOLY S**T!!..I haven't seen this in over 20 years..awesome..Good memories. I never saw one ending as i was always draged away from the tele screaming because i had to go swimming lessons..LOL..awesome.

[jaybo197306]

Fantastic. I can sort of remember the jist of the story, something was suposed to happen to lamia (the young girl) it involved a sail ship. Would love to see a DVD release.

[fabuser]

the UK company that is releasing The Mysterious Cities of Gold DVD is releasing the entire series of STAR FLEET on DVD later this year.. !!! WOW ! can't wait.

[nedwiggins]

Wow. The first time I've seen it in over 20 years and the assembly of the giant robot has given me the exact same goosebumps I had when I was a kid. Pure Proustian nostalgia. top marks fella!

[joslad]

Saturday mornings will never be the same again

[tartan1966]

i have the entire x-bomber collection and the sailing ship is the skull if i remember right if any one wants me to post some i will do it ive posted a handfull on my site on to utube

[agentolshki]

hoolllyy shit ive been after the name of this show since i was er 6 i would have been. wanna see the golden sailing space ship though..

[mysticalforces]

fucking kicks ASS MAN!!!!

[Vyruzz2]

Macara used to scare the shit out of me... Remember i had to crawl over on my mothers lap for reassurance XD

[pinkartist1210]

"the old one-two" god i used to love this! That bought back some serious memories, you tube is so so good with this sort of thing.. Check out the Centurions-Jayce and the wheeled warriors- ulysess31- pole position!! My Oh My its all flooding back!!

[mogali2]

kick ass

[sevenforcex]

OMG this was the show, whenever I mention it nobody remembers it, what a dam shame, plus its impossible to find, this not being on DVD is a crime.

[ashleo78]

try doing what I did..took me a while to collect every episode but i put them on DVD myself. Was a tad naughty tho cos i sold a few copies LOL

[F1REWOLFSA]

So how can I get a set from you?

[evade65]

kids of today don't know what they are missing, i watched every one!!!

[spacered]

3 vehicles combining transforms Dai x remind me of Gettai robo.

[prowlus]

I wouldn't be suprised about the resembalance . Go Nagai (mecha master) designed the Dai X , getter robo and mazinger

[Furbleumstrum]

proof at last every time i mention this to friends as a childhood tv show they look at me as if i have 2 heads!

[svaran]

amazing series, it was way better than Gerry anderson's terrahawks which was made at the same time. And that's saying something as I'm a huge Gerry anderson fan.

[AlexDraco]

I have to agree ; as an Anderson fan, i couldn't get into Terrahawks, but Starfleet / X-Bomber was much more appealing, with darker characters and an overall better plotline.

[jadenet05081891]

The old one- two!! Love it!!! pure puppet destrucion!! Ha !

[F1REWOLFSA]

Someone has to put this on DVD!!

[PlayFighterMan]

That has ben done. ;) But sadly,it´s rare to find some. Especially english-speech versions. You will likely find it on some auctions-sites. I was among the lucky ones to get hold of one,thanks to a web-sail manager here in Norway. =) And the soundtrack from this movie (if existing) would be great to get too!

[therezabizarre]

brill love all the oberhiem music n stuff....way ahead back in october 82.
