JANBORG A

(1973)

A pilot's brother is killed when hostile alien attempts to invade Earth. During a second attack, the pilot tries to revenge his brothers death by using his plane, which is shot down. Before it hits the ground, the plane is caught by a strange green light of the Emerald Seijin Kain, who gives the pilot the ability to transform the plane into the giant robot warrior Jamborg Ace. Also known as "Janbôgu Êsu", or "Jumborg Ace".
