One movie: Super Electron Bioman
Sixth Super Sentai. Centuries ago, the android Peebo
and the Bio Robot came to earth from the fallen Bio Star.
The Bio Robot showered five people with Bio Particles,
which would be passed on to later generations. In the
present time, Doctorman and his Shin Teikoku (New Empire)
Gear threaten the world. Peebo must find the descendants
of the original five to form the Chodenshi (Super
Electron) Bioman.
Unique to this show is the fact that there are five
recurrent monsters of the week. Whereas in other
most other sentai, the monster would be killed or
defeated and then enlarged or cloned, Bioman defeats one
of the five underlings and then a Mechagigan is launched.
Dr. Kageyama transformed himself into a Mecha Human,
renamed himself Doctorman, and leading the New Empire
Gear from his base of Neograd at the South Pole, plans to
rule the world through his Mechahumans. The Biorobo
awakes from five centuries of sleep to find the five
descendants of humans who had been showered with
Bioparticles 500 years ago. Under the direction of Peebo,
who had accompanied the Biorobo to Earth, the five don
Biosuits to become the Biomen. Early on, Doctorman
invents the Biokiller Gun to kill Yellow Four. A new
Yellow Four is recruited.
Doctorman's supercomputer Brain and his android Prince
turn out to have human hearts which bring about their
downfall. Prince is based on Man's son Shuuichi, who
appears before the Bioman. The Big Three learn of
Shuuichi's existence, realize that Man is a mere human,
and revolt. They fail, and Doctor Man brainwashes and
modifies them. The Biohunter Silva comes from space to
hunt them down. The Biomen meet a mysterious scientist
intending to build a conscience circuit, Dr. Shibata, who
turns out to be both Red's father and a friend of
Doctorman. In the end, the Biomen defeat Silva and his
robot Balzion and enter the fortress Neograd itself.
