Time Bokan
To prove the machine's efficiency and safety, he decides to serve as the very first guinea pig for its maiden voyage.The only thing that it returns with is a talking parrot, along with a large gemstone called the Dynamond (ダイナモンド, Dainamondo), which is seemingly the most powerful and valuable jewel in the world.Chorobo's features include also a flamethrower built into his nose, extendable limbs, and the ability to shock others with a significant amount of voltage output.Perasuke (ペラ助) (voiced by Junpei Takiguchi): A talking parrot who seems to be the only source of information about Dr. Kieta's location after he was lost in time; he always makes random testimonies on that.Otake-san (オタケさん) (voiced by Haru Endou): A bossy and impatient female parrot of Perasuke's kind and his wife.They also were the inspiration for the "Team Rocket" trio in the Pokémon TV series, and by extension a number of similar anime villains.He used to work undercover for Dr. Kieda, therefore he is usually employed to build a new and different mecha in each episode to counter the Time Bokan used by the heroes.He is cunning, though quite prone to making silly mistakes on the machinery (most of which became the key issue of the villains' misfortune throughout the episodes).In order to match the Time Bokan in strength and maneuverability, this mecha is often linked to a larger mechanical structure, of which it serves as the head.Several of the historical-themed episodes were edited together and dubbed by Jim Terry Productions (of Force Five and Robby the Rascal fame) for the US home video market in 1984, under the name Timefighters.Several of the fairytale-themed episodes were also edited together and dubbed by Jim Terry Productions for the US home video market in 1984, under the name Timefighters in the Land of Fantasy.
