Tekkaman

Tekkaman the Space Knight is about the adventures of the titular Space Knight and his fight to find a "Second Earth" as their Earth has undergone...problems.

The series is better known in America for its almost Adam Westlike tone than Japan's version.

In the early 1990s, a revamped version, Tekkaman Blade, was made.

Tropes exhibited by this series:

 * Alien Invaders: The Waldarians and their mutant creations, complete with flying saucers.
 * Big Bad: Lord Doburai
 * Blade On a Stick: Tekkaman's Tek Lancer, known as the Space Lance! in the dub.
 * Capcom vs. Whatever: Appears in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, joined later by Blade.
 * Captain Obvious: Tekkaman in the dub.
 * Cliff Hanger: The ending, see below
 * Cut Short: The show was meant to be a 52-episode series. The show's original Japanese airing was a complete ratings failure however, and resulted the show to be cut down to 26.
 * The Dragon: Rambos
 * Evil Knockoff: The Waldarians steal blueprints and make an evil Tekkaman in one episode, though the original Tekkaman and Pegas note the poor construction.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Lupin the Third plays Andro in the Japanese original. Tekkaman himself is Ken the Eagle and Go Mifune.
 * Lull Destruction: In Japanese, Tekkaman is pretty much The Quiet One. This didn't quick stick in the dub.
 * No Indoor Voice: Dub Tekkaman isn't content with just stating the obvious all the time. He also has to say it as loudly as possible.
 * Ridiculously Cute Critter: Mutan, who actually proves quite useful.
 * Robo Speak: Pegas in the dub.
 * Sacrificial Lamb:.
 * Shape Shifter: Various Waldestar underlings and occasionally Rambos himself.
 * Wave Motion Gun: VOLTEKKA!
 * Whip It Good: The Tek Win, also known as the Space Lariat! in the dub.
