They were assembled by Prof. Saotome and became Earth's first line of defense against the Dinosaur Empire, which is a civilization of reptile-like humanoids, who evolved from the now-extinct dinosaurs that roamed the earth millions of years ago.

The series was groundbreaking in the anime mecha genre: for the very first time, it introduced the term ‘docking’, the concept of separate machines combining to form a super robot. Using three jets, Getter Robo could combine in three different ways to create three different versions of Getter Robo for different conditions and situations. This idea was originally discussed during the creation process for Mazinger Z (the first super robot to be piloted internally), but was dropped and then developed for Getter Robo. Less...

Hard to deny a classic

It's hard not to give a classic giant robot manga the credit it deserves for pioneering a genre. This is a good story, and while maybe not original in today's world, was probably original and fresh in it's time. Just one gripe: This translation just doesn't flow well. With a little bit of editing, it would flow better and be more cohesive.
