After looking at an older sketch, I started doodling the Shogun Warrior Godzilla in GIMP, then got a little into it.
Kinda wanna do the SW Rodan to go with it.

You never really forget your first giant robot
In those long lost days pre Power Rangers in the 90's and even combining Transformers in the 80's, there wasn't a lot of choice, alas.
But in the late 70's Marvel did give us the Shogun Warriors, a series they made as part of a deal with Popy, who were pushing the Shogun Warriors, a line based on tokusatsu robo series.
The comic featured three giant robots cominf from beyond the stars to defend the Earth, piloted by three selected humans.
Now I have nothing against either of the other two robots: Dangard Ace and Raydeen. Both perfectly cromulant giant robots, and Raydeen did have a nice firebird mode he could fold himself into.

But I fell for Combatra because Combatra could do something the others could not....
She wasn't just a giant robot, she was a combiner!
The original name was Combattler V (Combination+Battle+Robo, but I liked Combatra too), and there was a cartoon dedicated to it in the earlier 70's.

What's not to love? Five "Gerry Anderson's Thunderbird" vehicles, each with a useful function, could combine into a single giant robot with battle yo-yo's!
Look, this was cutting edge stuff in 1978 for little Icon_UK!!
Delta-V 1 was the head
Skyskater 2 became the arms
Earthmover 3 was the torso
Turbostreaker 4 was the legs
Groundrover 5 was the feet
The original version had five human pilots, the comics version had one human pilot and four androids with adjustable levels of independence in combat.
What prompted me to post this was finding this video on youtube and it's rather cool!

Oh, and let's not forget Combatra got to fight one of my favourite monsters

The Hand of Five!
Who did everything you would hope a giant flying disembodied hand with five dragon heads could do!
Tumblr media
So damned cool!
Oh, and as for the name of the giant attack robot who showed up two issues before the abrupt cancellation of the series (Folloing the toy lines discontinuation), well, I'll let you decide how prescient THAT was!

It's that time of year again!
Happy Holidays from our family to yours.
Even though we're a multi (and non) denominational family, we're simple creatures; we love baubles, and we love lights. And we like an excuse to celebrate.
And of course, I love to hide these little Santa hats all across the displays.
