[edit] Original Story
Earth is being attacked by the Moguru civilization, a super advanced peoples that live beneath the ocean. Professor Yuri, having studied the ancient super-technology in Astro base, anticipated such an invasion would take place. Using what he had learned of rheir technology, he created a series of super robots to help repel any such invasion, known as the Machine Blaster Corps. Led by the pilot Ishida, the Blocker Corps stands firm against the attack of the Moguru rulers, Hellqueen V and Kaibuddha.
[edit] Concept
The number 4 comes from the team of 4 robots. The robots individually have their own weapon, but they can also be combined to form a fire ring which cuts through the enemies. It was not the most popular show since anime powerhouses Gaiking and Combattler V, which featured more creative combinations and designs, were ruling the airwaves.
