Synopsis:
Metal Heroes is a series of tokusatsu superhero TV shows produced by Toei in Japan. The Metal Heroes are mainly space and police related characters who wears a "metallic" suit or transforms into a metallic warrior, hence, metal heroes are also called "Henshin (transforming) Heroes" Usually, the genre revolves around a technological theme where technology, in the right hands, can be used for the greater good. The shows were produced by Toei between 1982 and 1996 in conjunction with their other Tokusatsu superhero shows, such as Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. They are popular in Japan, France, Brazil, Philippines and several other countries. Unlike the Super Sentai or Kamen Rider franchises, some of the Metal Heroes series spawned sequels which followed the continuity of the previous show, resulting in the franchise developing its own sub-categories.
