SUMMARY:
Ace Goodheart, Dirk Daring, Agatha Jun, PeeWee and Hoot Owl "Hootie" are members of the G-Force team, a group of teenagers that fight off alien invaders led by Galactor and Computor.  G-Force is advised by Dr. Brighthead.  G-Force was the second English dub of Gatchaman.  Turner Entertainment purchase the rights to Gatchaman and re-dubbed the series in English as G-Force.  This dubbed version is closer to the original series, keeping in mostly all of the fighting scenes, violence and death, so no need for 7-Zark-7.  Instead of skipping many episodes like Battle of the Planets, the first 87 episodes were dubbed, except two.  The last eighteen episodes were not dubbed due to finanical reasons.  The only complaint about G-Force is the music, which is the same monotone techno drum beat used throughout all the episodes. G-Force originally aired for a week in 1986 on TBS Superstation.  In 1995, Cartoon Network ran the entire series for the first time.
