I had heard of Robotack but dismissed it because I thought it was just a little kid Toku like I perceive B-Robo Kabutack. B-Robo Kabutack is a semi-sequel of B-Fighter and looks goofy along side of it. Since my nephew is throwing toy cars at us and hitting us with his 'Kiyahs' and karate chops, I decided to show him B-Robo and stumbled upon Robotack. I thought it looked cool and showed it to my nephew and surprised there was more action and more violence. So can't show it to him anymore because he threw a toy at his mom.
I think it was because of this image above, I thought not much of it. But these two characters become robot warriors and fight hard against other ones. They might make animal noises and talk like kids and the hero actually spouts cartoon tears, but it is like any other Toku.
Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack was produced by
Toei Company, it is the final Metal Hero Series, aired from 1998-1999
alongside Seiju Sentai Gingaman on TV Asahi (Remember that Kamen Rider
didn't air from 1990 until 2000).
Robotack had a crossover with Gingaman in a stageshow.
Red Rangers often appeared in stageshows before Gokaiger. Here are OhRed, Red Racer, Ninja Red, and Mega Red.
