These guys are just now making flyring robots that may one day be able to fight? Gigantor the space age robot has been fighting and flying for over 40 years now! Further proof that the Japanese are lightyears ahead of us in robot technology.

Gigantor Gigantor Gigaaaaa-aaa-aaantor!

Gigantor the space aged robot,
He is at your command.
Gigantor the space aged robot,
His power is in your hand.

Bigger than big, taller than tall,
Quicker than quick, stronger than strong.
Ready to fight for right, against wrong.

Gigantor Gigantor Gigaaaaa-aaa-aaantor!
