Overview
Giant Robo is a character created by Dr. Shizuma, who invented a revolutionary new form of renewable energy drive. This invention came at a great cost, resulting in a catastrophic accident that the world wishes to forget. A secret organization, Big Fire, has obtained two of three mysterious Shizuma drives, intending to use them for their own purposes. The third drive has been taken by Dr. Shizuma, who was saved by Giant Robo during his escape. A desperate struggle begins between Giant Robo and Big Fire for control of the last drive. Big Fire has unleashed their ultimate weapon, the Eye of Volger, in their pursuit of domination.
