The giant robot expo is just around the corner, and Kenichiro Kuronai
(Nobuyuki Ishida) has a fine collection to show, but as he shows his
brother Ken (Yosuke Okada) around, he's kidnapped by the Iron Alliance,
led by one Doctor Deviler (Hiroshi Ikaida), even despite the fact that
Ken's part of the SSI, an ordganisation formed to fight the Iron Alliance.
The Iron Alliance also steals all of Kenichiro's robots, all but Red
Baron, the apparently greatest of them all. And ultimately the Iron
Alliance have to let Kenichiro go, though implanted with some evil chip,
to get Red Baron as well - but instead he hands the keys to the robot over
to Ken, who is quick to go into fighting his brothers robots gone rogue
usint Red Baron, for which Kenichiro ultimately ends up on the cross (!)
... Basically this
one's giant robot silliness from beginning to end, and how much you can
enjoy this really depejnds on how much you can suspend your disbelief from
square one as the attempts for world-building are at best feeble here. But
yeah, if you're like me and like giant robots, so-so special effects and
silly sci-fi, then you'll get a kick out of this one still, just don't for
a minute expect greatness.
