14	In the year 2111, the solar system has been colonized. Khamen Khamen wants to destroy the planet Jupiter in order to create a new star and change the solar system. Team [=J9=] is assembled by Isaac Godonov, consisting of himself, Blaster Kid, Stephen Bowie, and Angel Omachi. With the robot Braiger, they are a team that will handle any missions the police will not in the asteroid belt. Meanwhile, Earth has been divided into four power blocs: Omega, Red Dragon, Volga and Nubia. Nubia hatches a plan to rule the solar system in which Jupiter is destroyed, leading to the creation of over 30 smaller planets that could sustain life. However, such a plan would lead to the destruction of Earth.

The show mostly became well known due to its character designs resembling those of ''Manga/LupinIII'' (Kazuo Komatsubara was asked to design characters similar to Lupin's) and the catchy opening theme with its animation done by the legendary Yoshinori Kanada.

58	* TelescopingRobot: As is the norm for HumongousMecha of this era, Braiger stores a good number of weapons in shrunken forms on its body. Averted for the [[BackpackCannon Brai-Cannons]] though, as Pancho has to fly in with a transport ship to deliver these to the J9 team.
59	* ShapeShifterBaggage: The Brai-Synchron system Pancho developed allows mass to be stored in a pocket dimension; thus allowing the normal-car-sized Brai-Thunder to transform into the much larger Brai-Star, and thence to the 32-metre-tall Braiger.
