The CG Robo appear...
Synopsis[edit | edit source]
Five coloured bolts of light fly through space before landing on a deserted planet, where they form globules of liquid metal before solidifying into vehicles that convert into robots. These are the CG Robo Patrol CG, Fire CG, Rescue CG, Carrier CG and 4WD CG. On the horizon a huge grasping monstrous claw looms and writhes. After a quick non-verbal check with his team-mates, Patrol CG leads the CG Robo into battle and the claw vanishes in a pulse of light, which fades to the CG Robo logo.
Featured characters[edit | edit source]
(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Several alternate edits of the 30-second commercial exist - including one where the claw is crushed by the logo, and another where everyone but Patrol CG is crushed by the logo.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Due to budgetary restrictions, only Patrol CG is seen as a blob of metal, as a vehicle and to transform - the camera stays tight on him throughout the process and when it pulls back the other four are already in robot mode.
- The computer-generated models of the characters were used as box art on the CG Robo figures, in catalogues and on their subsequent European Robo Machines releases.
