3 | ->''By 1975, Creator/GoNagai had singlehandedly defined almost all of modern mecha's gimmicks: Piloted robotic vehicles, mecha whose command modules could serve as mini-vehicles, vehicles which combine to form a mech, and Mecha which could be "powered up" by add-on parts (Anime/MazingerZ's Jet-Scrander backpack and Anime/{{Grendizer}}'s UFO-like Spazer Booster). The only vital ingredient that Nagai didn't personally add to the mecha recipe was transformation; that honor belongs to 1975's ''Anime/BraveRaideen'', which could shape-change into an avian God-Bird mode.'' |
