Also known as "Steel Jeeg" or "El Vengador", Kotetsu Jeeg is another classic [[Humongous Mecha]] anime created by [[Go Nagai]] in cooperation with Tatsuya Yasuda and first released in 1975. Essentially a [[Combining Mecha]] series, it told the story of Shiiba Hiroshi, a car racer who's [[We Can Rebuild Him|reconstructed as a cyborg by his father after being mortally wounded in an accident]]. As a cyborg, Hiroshi's capable of transforming into the eponymous Kotetsu Jeeg, a steel robot head that combines with a variety of external parts to form a giant robot and fight the minions of Queen Himika, leader of the Jamatai Kingdom.

* [[Distaff Counterpart]] The Build Angels are often considered a gender-swapped version of the [[Getter Robo|Getter Team]]

* [[Do-Anything Robot]] Jeeg is ''very'' modular: it can detach and reattach its parts like Lego bricks. Therefore, as long as they can get the right parts to the battlefield, Jeeg can change form to meet any situation.

** Although possibly a subversion in that the Jama Kingdom are still said to derive their powers from sorcery.

* [[Expository Theme Tune]]: "Just you watch, the Haniwa Phantoms will be completely destroyed. Run forth, Banban Baban! Big Shooter, swifter than the wind. Build up!"
