What is the Story of Daltanious?
The story of Future Robot Daltanious takes place in 1995. Earth has been taken over by the evil Zaar Empire. They come from a planet called Akron. Earth's cities are destroyed, and people live in small, simple villages.
A brave orphan named Kento and his friends are hiding from bandits. They find a secret base in a cave. Inside, they meet Doctor Earl. He is from a planet called Helios, which the Zaar also conquered.
Doctor Earl brought a super-robot called Atlas to Earth. This robot becomes even stronger when it combines with a smart lion robot named Beralios. When these two robots join with a Helian fighter jet called Gumper, they form the mighty robot Daltanious!
Doctor Earl discovers that Kento is a descendant of the Helian royal family. He trusts Kento to pilot Daltanious and fight for Earth's freedom.

What is the Concept Behind Daltanious?
The director, Tadao Nagahama, greatly influenced the look and feel of Daltanious. Its style is similar to other famous robot anime like Voltes V and Combattler V.
The giant robot Daltanious is special because it's made from three different parts:
- Atlaus: This is the main robot.
- Gunper: This is a spaceship.
- Beralios: This is a mechanical lion. It was found after the first battle with the Zaar.
When these three parts combine, they form Daltanious! The robot is named after D'Artagnan, a hero from the famous book The Three Musketeers. Daltanious stands about 56 meters (184 feet) tall and weighs 678,000 kilograms (about 1.5 million pounds).
Daltanious was the first combining super-robot to include an animal part. It was also the first to have a lion's head on its chest. This lion's head design later appeared in many other robot shows, like GaoGaiGar.
Daltanious Toys
Just like many popular Super Robot anime, Daltanious had cool toys made during its time. Popy produced a die-cast toy replica. Later, in 2011, Bandai released a new Daltanious toy as part of their Soul of Chogokin collection.
What Weapons Does Daltanious Use?
Daltanious has many powerful weapons to fight the Zaar Empire:
- Tran Saber: A sword that appears from Daltanious's right hip.
- Tran Shield: A metal shield that appears from Daltanious's left hip.
- Double Knuckle: Daltanious can launch its punches like rockets.
- Gyro Spinner: Metal blades that come out from golden rings on Daltanious's forearms. They can be launched or combined with the Double Knuckle.
- Lysander: A crossbow that appears on Daltanious's right forearm, shooting metal arrows.
- Sigma Beam: Four purple beams shoot from Daltanious's shoulders and knees, combining into a cross-shaped laser.
- Super Electromagnetic Eraser: A ball of fire shot from Beralios's mouth.
- Kaenken: Cross Slash - Flaming Sword: Cross Slash: A flaming sword appears from Beralios's mouth or eyes for a powerful attack.
- Cannon Cubic: Cannons on Daltanious's arms fire many shots.
- Chain Slicer: A chain with a hook and sickle comes from Daltanious's right hip to grab enemies.
- Kaenken: Flame Attack - Flaming Sword: Flame Attack: A flaming beam stops opponents, allowing Daltanious to perform the Cross Slash.
- Kaenken: Full Power: The Flaming Sword becomes even more powerful, glowing with flame.
Who are the Zaar Empire's Forces?
The Zaar Empire uses many different types of robots and machines to try and conquer Earth. They have various powers and abilities to fight Daltanious.
Zaar Battle Robots (Bemborgs)
The Zaar Empire uses many different battle robots called Bemborgs. Each Bemborg has unique powers, like flight, special weapons, or energy attacks. They are designed for different kinds of battles, whether in the air, on land, or even underwater.
Zaar Twin Robots (Twinborgs)
Twinborgs are another type of robot used by the Zaar. They often have unique combinations of weapons and abilities, sometimes appearing as two parts or having specialized forms for combat.
Zaar Leader Mecha
The Zaar leaders also pilot their own powerful mecha. These are usually stronger and more dangerous than the regular Bemborgs or Twinborgs. They are often equipped with advanced weapons and defenses to challenge Daltanious directly.
