What happens

Combattler V, full name Chōdenji Robo Combattler V (超電磁（ちょうでんじ）ロボ コン・バトラーV（ブイ）, Chōdenji Robo Konbatorā Bui; lit. Super Electromagnetic Robot Combattler V), is a Japanese mecha anime television series produced by Toei Company and animated by Soeisha (later renamed as Nippon Sunrise) that aired from 1976 to 1977. It is the first part of the Robot Romance Trilogy of super robot series created by Saburo Yatsude and directed by Tadao Nagahama. The robot's name is a portmanteau of "combine", "combat", and "battle", and the V is intended both as an abbreviation for "victory" and in reference to the five component machines that form the robot, as well as its five pilots. The V is pronounced as the letter V, unlike in the spiritual successor, Voltes V, where it is pronounced "five". The show follows the adventures and battles of the Battle Team, a group of young pilots, as they battle against the Campbell Empire from outer space. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
