SUMMARY:

This animated series was another fusion of multiple Japanese animated shows ala Robotech and Captain Harlock in order to achieve the 65-episode daily syndication requirement. Two series, ‘Demon God of the War-Torn Land Goshogun’ and ‘Mission Outer Space Srungle’ were combined to form the new English dub called 'Macron 1.' The two sets of characters communicated with each other, with one being set in an alternate dimension. In 2545 a teleportation experiment goes haywire and rockets Major David Chance into an alternate universe. The resulting vacuum sucks the evil Dark Star and half his forces into our universe. Now the sinister armies of GRIP want control of both universes. The good forces in each world must team up to battle these tyrannical legions. Together they form Macron 1, united in the fight for the future. Contemporary covers of 1980's pop music was added into the English dub, preventing it from ever being released again due to music licensing issues.
