Looking at Star Fleet (aka X-Bomber) 1980s marionette sci-fi madness from Japan with mechs, space opera vibes, and a Brian May soundtrack. #StarFleet #XBomber "And I'm Barry Hercules, Doc."

Just taken a memorable trip down a long forgotten UK childhood scifi TV memory: "Star Fleet" (or X-Bomber as it was originally called in Japan).

Puppets, very 80s, lots of Star Wars influences.

All English dubbed episodes available for free here: https://archive.org/details/x-bomber-starfleet-1980

Brian May (of Queen fame) & Van Halen even released a Star Fleet single! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lC54X5Gc1Q

Como anunciado, tentar separar as trombas das novelas e deixar apenas o link para elas nessa tromba de filmes.
Começando por #XBomber #StarFleet

Fiquei um pouco decepcionado com os "heróis".
Não apenas eles pareceram fracos demais para evitar essa invasão ao Sistema Solar, o plano não faz sentido.
Eles pretendiam equipar essa nave enorme com uma população de 3 pessoas?
Qual a pegadinha aqui?
Como serão salvos?

#XBomber
#StarFleet

Eu tenho que lembrar de fazer isso, mas tenho esquecido.
Quando escrever sobre uma série criar uma tromba separada e adicionar apenas o link para ela na tromba de filmes.

Não cometerei esse erro dessa vez, esse primeira tromba será sobre... #XBomber! (JP...puppet show? 1980)

A more obscure extended #Aliens cast hit, Jay "Newt's father" Benedict also voiced the heroic Shiro Hagen in Starfleet back in the '80s. The series also boasts Biggs Darklighter & Drake + Apone from Aliens as well as the Junk Lady from Labyrinth among its voices.

Benedict was unfortunately lost to Covid in April 2020, a week before his 69th birthday.

Starfleet Episode 1 of 24 The year 2999

Japanese TV show #XBomber (1980-1981) was created by #Manga superstar Go Nagai.

It was renamed #StarFleet and dubbed in English for UK viewers airing on ITV between 1982 and 1983.

Definitely one for background watching while coding.

Remembering the fantastic Japanese robot shows I saw as a child thanks to cable tv (we were the first estate in the UK to have it as standard) such as this one, which #BrianMay (yes that one) did the theme tune for.
My childhood was one of giant spaceships transforming into giant robots and alien invaders unifying Earth.
