Description
A long overdue art trade for which still needs some more line prepping and coloring. But until one of my friends have enough free time to Vector / Live Trace this elaborate piece for me, I'm uploading the inks for the time being, and as a preview of what's to come.

asked for me to do an illustration staring the title Super Robot of the 1974-1975 anime series "Getter Robo". And I decided to sweeten the deal by including a swarm / flock of Gyaos from the Gamera movies; particularly the ones from 1998's "Gamera III: The Revenge of Iris" (AKA "Gamera III: Incomplete Struggle")...of whom the mighty Getter Robo is in the midst of massacring, with even more on the way.

I know that many of you would be offended by the mere idea of the popular Gyaos getting their winged behinds taken out by a not-so-obscure anime robot, and one time member of the Shogun Warriors toy-line.
But truth be told, I'm not a big fan of the multiple numbered versions of Gyaos, that were introduced in the 1995-1998 era of Gamera films, with this being my gleefully brutal jab against the fact.

Plus, I take any opportunity to combined giant monsters from totally unrelated franchise and storylines, and toss them together into a crossover style situation.

For the record however, I have not seen much of Getter Robo itself beyond the 'okay' 1998 mini-series "Getter Robo: Armageddon, AND despite the situation I'm presenting above, I am a bigger fan of the lone Gyaos from its original 1967 outing, seen in "Gamera vs. Gyaos".
