* Based on the more than two decades strong Getter Robo franchise created by the legendary Nagai Gou.

Getter Robo blazed new trails in the world of anime when it originally aired on Japanese television in the seventies. Featuring three different vehicles that combined to form one massive robot, Getter Robo was the original transforming battle robot, spawning an entire genre of anime including Robotech and Transformers. The Getter Machines were created to defend the planet from all that would threaten it. But the massive robot weapons were so powerful that those they protected began to fear them. A fear so great it drove humanity to destroy its saviors and their creator. But now a shadow has crept across the moon. The faint echoes of evil laughter can be heard. Terrified whispers tell of the Invaders. Mankind now cowers under the watchful eye of an extraterrestrial menace beyond their nightmares. Their only defenses are the Getter Machines, and the only man who can bring them back lies rotting in the Earth. Or does he?
