[[caption-width-right:314:Character name clockwise: Andro Frohl, Andro Wolf, Andro Melos and Andro Mars.]]
''Andro Melos'' is a {{Tokusatsu}} miniseries, part of the Franchise/UltraSeries that aired from February to April 1983 on weekdays. After the end of ''Series/UltramanEighty'' in March 1981, the Ultra Series entered a period of hiatus for 15 years. The first of which to fill in that void was the ''Ultra Brothers Story Andro Melos'' magazine and ''Ultra Super Legend: Andro Super Warriors'' manga publications, featuring the Ultra Warriors and the Andro People's fight against the Guar Army. After its popularity, a miniseries was made to feature the Andro People's exploits against the Guar Army. The 1984 film ''Film/UltramanStory'' was made to further promote Juda, one of the siblings of the ruling Guar Army leaders.

''Ultra Brothers Story Andro Melos'' and ''Ultra Super Legend: Andro Super Warriors'' both feature the events in the aftermath of ''Series/UltramanEighty'', where Zoffy was thought to be killed by an empowered [[Series/UltramanAce Ace Killer]] and gets thrown into a black hole. In his place, a green-armored warrior named Andro Melos appear to fight the Ace Killer and eventually helping out the Ultra Warriors and the Andro People in their fight against Guar Army. After the battle, it was revealed that Andro Melos is actually Zoffy, who survived the black hole when the green Cosmo Techtor armor was given to him by the Andro People Caesar, dying in the black hole in his place. Zoffy gave the armor to Caesar's son, Benoit, who also inherited the name "Andro Melos".

Fast forward to Andro Melos, it focuses on Benoit's exploits as Andro Melos, the leader of the Andro Defense Force. Under his leadership are Andro People dressed in different-colored Cosmo Techtors as they fight against the tyranny of Guar Army and their minions.

''Andro Melos'' is in fact the first Tokusatsu in Japan to receive a home video treatment. The protagonist's name, Andro Melos, came from ''The Ultraman'' manga 1975 featuring an Ultra named Melos, who in fact uses the Cosmo Techtor armor. However, "Andro Melos" and "Melos" are entirely different characters altogether.

!!''Andro Melos'' provided the following tropes.

* {{Archenemy}}: The Guar siblings traditionally view the Ultra Warriors and the Andro People with great animosity. Future Ultra Series media confirmed this with ''Series/UltramanX'' and ''Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy''.
* AnAxeToGrind: Mold's Bat Axe.
* BadassCrew: The Andro Defense Force, full stop. They are not Ultras, simply an alien race with good connection to the Land of Light, but these two species share the same sense of justice and dedicated their lives to uphold peace in outer space.
* BattleBoomerang: Melos and Wolf uses a pair of them. Melos' strangely enough shaped like Series/UltraSeven's Eye Slugger, while Wolf's is shaped "U" and can be stored on his shoulders.
* BladeOnAStick: Double lancer, a lance with both of Melos' Double Saber boomerangs on each end.
* BotanicalAbomination: The Fighting Bem Bazelia is a giant walking humanoid with a ''Rafflessia'' for its collar.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: The members of the Andro Defense Force has different colors of Cosmo Techtor to distinguish themselves: Melos is green, Wolf is red, Mars is orange and Frohl is white.
* CoolShip: The Andro Boat, the Andro Defense Force's means of transportation.
* CoolSword: Juda's Bat Caliber.
* {{Cyborg}}: The three [[Series/UltramanLeo Alien Magmas]] under the Guar Army are lead by their cyborg brother. There is also the Mecha [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Baltan]] under the Guar Army as well.
* DarkIsEvil: Juda and Mold, the two brothers that lead the Guar Army alongside Gina has at least black coloration to their armor.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In the magazines, the Andro People's Cosmo Techtor has yellow eyes shining from their visors. This trait was lost in the live action miniseries.
* EleventhHourSuperpower: To combat Guar in the FinalBattle, Melos had to retrieve the Grantechtor armor from Earth, the only device capable of fighting the space emperor.
* FieldPromotion: As revealed in ''Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy'', Melos had since left his position and leadership in the Andro Defense Force to pursue a promotion in the Galaxy Rescue Force. During his departure, he mentioned that the team had since accepting a few competent new members, one of which is Andro Ares, which Series/UltramanTaiga had met prior to his active service in the Tri-Squad.
* FiveManBand: The team is actually lacking the fifth member, but they are enough to be qualified as one.
** TheLeader: Andro Melos
** TheLancer: Andro Wolf
** TheBigGuy: Andro Mars
** TheChick: Andro Frohl
** TheSixthRanger: Andro Ares[[note]]Appears in the Voice Drama of ''Series/UltramanTaiga''. According to Melos in ''Series/UltraGalaxyFightTheAbsoluteConspiracy'', Ares' recruitment took place after his departure from the Andro Defense Force.[[/note]]
* FusionDance: Juda, Mold and Gina combine into Guar, the eponymous ruler of the Guar Army.
* HumongousMecha: The Guar siblings each get their own piloted mecha in against Melos. As they are naturally gigantic, they use an entirely bigger mecha that roughly on 900 meters to dwarf Melos. These mechas are; Bemzn for Juda, King Joegue for Mold and Gyeronia for Gina.
* LightIsGood: Frohl's Cosmo Techtor is colored white and is used to further indicate her as TheSmurfettePrinciple of the team. Also apply to Alien Ape Elpa, an old friend of Andro Wolf.
* LightIsNotGood: Guar, the FinalBoss of the series is predominantly white.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Or rather, monster of the day, since the show aired on a weekday basis every week (five episodes a week). Any chances that Andro Melos and his team members encounter a new villain each week, chances are those monster were under the Guar Army. It ranges from either aliens, Fighting Bems, cyborgs and even three HumongousMecha to name a few.
* PassingTheTorch: The original owner of Andro Melos' Cosmo Techtor was Caesar, his father, who gave it to Zoffy at the expense of his own life to save the Ultra from a black hole. Zoffy made the Andro Melos alias to further hide his identity and once he gave the armor to Caesar's son, Benoit, he also gave the name as well.
* RedIsHeroic: Andro Wolf's red Cosmo Techtor armor. While he's not the leader, its a clear message that he is on the good side.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Frohl is the only female in the Andro Defense Force. Same trope also goes to Gina from the three Gua siblings.
* WhipItGood: Gina's Bat Whip weapon, she used it to whip her henchmen for their failures and as a weapon against the Andro Defense Force.
