 Aah. One of my most favourite Animes. Makes me feel very nostalgic when I see it again :-/. I was back in 6th grade when they aired in Cartoon Network. Again, it was aired again when I was in 8th Grade. It is the God of All Mechas !It brings back old memories. For an Absent Minded Professor, I still remember the entire series, episode by episode ! They used to to air it in Cartoon Network around 4 - 5 PM IST. I think they re-telecasts were aired in the Morning around 10 AM.
 The Basic Plot is as follows. In the near future, Mars is Colonized. It is ruled by a dictator. Three Teenagers namely Joe (The Protagonist), Reny & Mike live in Mars. An alien ships comes and lands in Mars. A crashed ship with a Alien princess and her crew lands in Mars when followed by attackers. These 3 some how end up in the Ship. In the encounters that follow, Joe & are able to control . The Robots that can be controlled only bt Ninjas. The aliens are actually from another planet which has been invaded. The attackers were the invaders who had followed the Spaceship These 3 help the Alien Princess Romina & the complex plot that follows includes lots of action with Giant Robots !!One important central character is the Mysterious Cybertron, which appears at crucial moments when Joe & others in the verge of defeat. It fuses with the various Ninja Robots and produces several magnificent hybrid Robots which are several times much more powerful. In the earlier part of the series, Cybertron is Autonomous, but later Joe is able to control Cybertron. How the Sun God (Cybertron) and the Moon God (Mantis) fuse together forms the Climax. The series is left unfinished and does not exactly show how the invaders are defeated.
I wish they had continued the plot, and shown exactly how Joe goes on to defeat Zaboom. And Importantly who gets Princess Romina :P I don't know why, but I always wanted Joe to be with Romina :-)) Mike & Jade already reciprocate feelings for each other. Icelander himself was jealous of Joe being close the princess. And since the Mantis & Cybertron have become one, perhaps Icelander & Joe would reconcile, Icelander could fall for Reni. That would be one wild plot !
May be, I should start writing by own Fan Fiction Sequel of Ninja Robots !!
Anyway, here are the opening songs for Ninja Robot in English & Japanese
English

Yeah J. True. The series simply rocked !!
I've just finished this series. And I liked it. The first anime, I’ve seen, was Saber Rider and the Star sheriffs. It was a pervious work of studio Pierot under the original title: “Sêjûshi Bisumaruku” (Star-musketeer Bismarck). It was very good and was my favorite number one, I’ve even seen some episodes from the original Japanese version, and read about its story, and actually Bismarck was better than Saber Rider. I’ve also read that it would have a second season, but it was dropped because of Ninja Senshi Tobikage. After I’ve seen actually this series I would say this is far superior to Saber Rider and even to Bismarck. This has a very long and complicated story with some actions and turns which you can just say wow. I think, I have to put Saber Rider at number three, Death Note at number two and this one at place number one. The only thing I this like about this series is it doesn’t have a third season. It leaves you with an empty feeling, it’s unfinished.
