Машина Робо: Қырылыс Кронос және Жаңа Шабуыл

Japanese anime television series

Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos (マシンロボ クロノスの大逆襲), known in France as La Revanche des GoBots (Revenge of the GoBots), is a Japanese anime television series produced by Ashi Productions. It ran on TV Tokyo from July 3, 1986, through May 28, 1987. A large portion of the Machine Robo toy line was exported and sold by Tonka in America as GoBots and Rock Lords. Central Park Media released 15 English subtitled episodes of the series on three DVDs in 2003; these remained the only official English releases until 2022, when Discotek Media released the complete series and its associated OVAs on one SD Blu ray set.

The story takes place on the mechanical world of Cronos. A band of villains called the Gyandlar have come to the planet in search of the mythical energy known as the Hyribead.

Based on the molds released in the Tonka "Rock Lords" toy line in the U. S. and Europe. Battlerock (Boulder) Design used for many Rock People characters, including variants for elders, females, and children. Made of kimberlite. Carries a Justice Laser Gun. Crossrock (Crackpot) An old prophet and knight Rock Person made of hematite. Carries a Saint Sword. Gutsrock (Granite) Multiple Gutsrocks appeared in the series. Immensely strong and made of Granite. Karma Female Rock Person, seen in episode 32. Similar to Battlerock. No toy exists for her. Magnarock (recolor of Slimestone) A heroic Rock Person made of silver with magnetic force field. Carries a Barrier Amp weapon. First introduced as Maskrock's sidekick. Maskrock (Marbles) A knight and guardian of the Rocks Mountain. Made of cristobalite. Carries an Impulsar weapon. Mecharock (Nuggit) Multiple Mecharocks appeared in the series. Has telescopic vision. Rockgilan (Terra Roc) A green pterodactyl that served as one of the two legendary beasts in the underground graveyard. Rockdon (Spike Stone) A purple stegosaurus that served as one of the two legendary beasts in the underground graveyard. Noted for looking similar to Baragon from the Godzilla franchise. Gattaisaurer (Fossilsaurus) A large dinosaur like rock person that assists Rom and Leina during the siege of Emerald City. It can divide into four smaller robots named Header (Jaw Bone), Abarar (Rib Cage), Leggar (Hip Bone), and Taildar (Tail Bone).

When Revenge of Cronos left off, Rom and Leina had crossed a dimensional barrier. Their physical forms changed from robot to human, and they were separated, with blurred memories. Leina Stol is incarnated as Reina Haruka, a Japanese schoolgirl. As the story progresses, she meets up with Rod Drill, Blue Jet, Triple Jim, and Rom, all of whom are now human. Given the fact the Revenge of Cronos robotic characters appear here in new human forms, the Blue Jet and the Rod Drill appearing with the usual robotic forms in Battle Hackers may be all different robots.

Taking place in the middle of the Wolf Sword Legend feature, this story centers on Leina Haruka, whose plane has been hijacked by a group of thugs led by the supernatural wizard Zarik. At this point, the series has no resemblance whatsoever to the Machine Robo toy line that spawned it.

Machine Robo was featured in three of Banpresto's Super Robot Wars series, beginning with SRW Compact 2: Part 2 & 3 in 2000 on the Wonderswan. All three parts of SRW Compact 2 were remade in 2002 as SRW Impact on the PlayStation 2. In 2004, the series was included in the PS2's SRW MXs line up, as well as the PSP port of the same.
