Enjoy what might be the most needlessly elaborate robot-assembly sequence ever animated. I can only assume that each robot section was sold separately as a toy, and that Water Bridge Segment 3 was big that Christmas.

This clip comes from Starbirds, the dubbed American movie version of the '70s TV anime known as Brave Leader Daimos. While 3-B edited down 44 episodes of Daimos into a single Starbirds movie, they kept the entire robot-transforming scene. Bravo.

Daimos is unavailable in North America, but you can find the cheap DVD release of Starbirds at depressing discount stores across the nation, and at severely inflated prices on Amazon.

  • ....That is the most elaborate mech transformation ever. Like if you imagine the realism if it, there had to be like...hundreds of deaths just to make sure the bridge doesn't fault, the car doesn't miss the ramp, the car enters the truck smoothly, his chair doesn't miss the railing.....lol

    That's awesome.

  • "It's the ... uh ... the voice of my father!"

    Priceless.

  • These guys have a lot of faith in Crystal Light. Best product endorsement ever.

  • I was expecting more, to be continued..

  • so the robot itself is really just that truck.. he could just kinda climb into the cockpit while the robot sits there and do the same thing.  But how cool would THAT be?

  • Still feels shorter than your average DBZ transformation.

  • reseting all of this must be a bitch.

  • Is this, like, a parody? o.o

  • Modern cartoons don't have shit on this!
