I guess no one else is interested.
It isn't Tekkaman Blade, it's the orginal Tekkaman.
Interesting I think I'll go look it up
Yes, let's have a tropes page for Infini-T Force. Where do we start?
Just off the top of my head, I've spotted Beard of Evil (Z) and Crossing the Moral Event Horizon (Z again) and there's GOT to be a trope for Ken's stubble in there somewhere.
Hawks have trainers; owls have acolytes.
Can't seem to find any info on watching this...

Its available for free at Viz's streaming site
I'm living in Southeast Asia as of now, so it's a no no.
It's also available on a facebook page. If you search 'Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman Forever,' go to the page, click on "videos" and scroll around a bit, you'll find all of the Infini-T Force episodes. Some are subbed in English, and others in Spanish. (I'm in Australia so that's where I go to watch.)

More tropes:
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds - Z, as it turns out
The Dragon - Damien Grey
Long Haired Pretty Boy - Damien Grey (and how!)
The next few episodes will tell us whether Grey turns out to be the Big Bad, since Z has turned out to be the Woobie. He hasn't been a blatant Starscream but he could be a Grand Vizier. I have sinking feeling that the heroes are going to defeat Z with the Power of Love and then face Grey in a final Boss Fight, but we shall see.
The fact that there's a movie in the works suggests that the series won't end with a Total Party Kill, at least.

go ahead and start the page then
I just started watching this. At first the animation turned me off, but the story is compelling. Anybody knows if the villains are originals or from the old series?
I think the villians are original
I suspect that 'Z' is a nod to Sosai Z from Gatchaman Fighter, albeit this version of Z is not a giant blue chicken in a jar, but I couldn't tell you about the others.

Looks like a movie sequel's out by next year.
It's released for Region 1 DVD/Blu-Ray.
Well a dub's released.
No thread or page yet on this, Tatsunoko's 55th anniversary series, which seems to also be a Massive Multiplayer Crossover between Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, Hurricane Polymar, Casshern, and Tekkaman Blade (all 1970s Tatsunoko superhero shows).
It broadcast overnight in Japan, and will be shown on Viz's streaming service tomorrow
