    “Terry-Byte” is the Tracyverse equivalent of “Mega-Man.”

    Buster Bot is no longer a costume but a machine. It is even bigger than Tracy!

    I like the double rectangles around Buster Bot’s speech words. It’s a neat special effect. We’ve seen other special ones before, especially Abner Kadaver’s speech bubbles.

    A Brief History Of ‘Super Robots,’ Part Two: Whose Robot Is It, Anyway …?

    Manga artist Go Nagai has generated a variety of series, not all of which feature “Super Robots,” or are widely known outside of Japan. Among his more obscure “Super Robot” creations are …

    ”Steel Jeeg” [ 1975 ]

    Look familiar? Modified and recolored ‘Steel Jeeg’ toys were the basis for the ‘Baron Karza’ and ‘Force Commander’ figures in Takara’s ‘MICRONAUTS’ toy line.

    The basic premise is that the robot is assembled BY SHOOTING ITS BODY PARTS OUT OF CANNONS.

    Dig the kick-ass theme song …

    ”UFO Robot Gattaiger” [ 1975 ]

    Wait, what …?

    Released as a theatrical featurette, this was essentially the pilot for ”UFO ROBOT GRANDIZER,” only with a different – and much more ‘boxy’ – robot.

    Available in its entirety – subtitled ‘en Espanol’ – on YouTube …

    ”Groizer X” [ 1976 ]

    it transforms from a robot into a jet – I think – and back again …

    ”Divine Demon-Dragon Gaiking” [ 1976 ]

    Dubbed versions of several of the series I’ve previously mentioned [ Getter Robo G, Grendizer ] were featured as daily components of Jim Terry’s syndicated ’FORCE FIVE’ anthology, as well as Gaiking, which ran on Fridays.

    However …

    Due to a dispute between Go Nagai and Toei Animation at the time, his involvement went uncredited.

    Here’s the title sequence …

    FUN FACT: The use of in-suit TV monitors dates back at least as far as the Gorg costumes on “Fraggle Rock.”

    Seriously, I am really cheesed at GoComics for losing so many archived comments during the transition to the new format.

    … and this is an improvement ’how’ exactly?

    Whoa! What happened to Tracy in the last panel? We see him standing between the two girls in panel one. Then in the reflection scene in panel 2 he’s not there!!!

    Will Middle Margie try to steal the suit, and pin the robbery on Aster’s brother? Tune in tomorrow…

    Poor Dick, reduced to being window dressing in the strip that bears his name. Keep taking fan pics Dick, you’re doing a great job!

    The reflection in geekboy’s helmet should show Tracy. Sloppy Joe’s!

    I wonder where the ‘Video Cam’ is situated.

    And does the ‘Buster Bot’ look like this inside …

    My opinion is that the Buster Bot is too good not to use in some fashion as the story proceeds. I think it will remain among the Good Guys, with Astor operating it, as Honeymoon and I suppose Connie do what they can to stop or at least slow down the Margies. Tracy, obviously, will be involved, but concern for Public Safety amid the cos con crowds will prohibit him from any gunplay, and likewise the crowds might get in the way of any hand-to-hand physical arrest. Hence, the job for the costumed kids….
