B-Robo Kabutack

sung by Takeshi Kusao who voiced the character Kabutack. The program is a partial sequel to "B-Fighter Kabuto", as the B-Fighters show up in the series.

Plot

Dr. Torahiko Koenji is an eccentric genius who dug out the ancient writings from the oldest layer of the earth. Known as the Galaxy, he translated the writings and learned to 13 treasures called "Star Pieces" that had been hidden across the planet. If one should obtain all the Star Pieces, any wish could be granted. To that end, Prof. Torahiko built search robots to find the Star Pieces. However a trio of such robots, led by Cobrander, were activated without their sleep-education program being completed and thus started to commit crimes.

Fortunately, a trio, composed of Kabutack, Tentorina and Kuwajiro, finish the whole course of sleep-learning and befriend Yuzuru Koenji, Torahiko's grandson. With Yuzuru and his friends Sayuri Mitaka and Kuranosuke Kichijouji, Kabutack and the gang begin their search of the "Star Pieces" while overcoming the misdeeds of Cobrander's group.

Characters

Short for "Bio Elementary Electronic & Transform Locomotive Eexivision Robot," the Beetle-Robots, or B-Robo for short, are able to transform into the fighting Super Mode. However, the time limit the mode longs on depends on the B-Robo as the earlier models have shorter timespans compared to the later ones.
