Late night. Repeated calls to a little girl whose mother just passed away claiming to BE her dead mother. A sick prank? Or something more? While Solbrain investigates, SolDozer objects to his upcoming transformation sequence programming. How can a human explain to a human that transformation will not change who someone is? And will Solbrain be able to get to the bottom of the late night call case? A chilling and bizarre case awaits!
Notes: I love this episode. The idea of a robot having a crisis of identity over its transformation sequence felt novel. This is one of main writer Noboru Sugimura's episodes, and it definitely showed. Not to mention, the story itself is downright creepy. The reveal felt surprisingly shocking.
I should mention that there is a CGI sequence in this episode, which for the year 1991, was surprisingly advanced. I have no idea how much rendering time or expense was involved in this short sequence, but I was very impressed by it. And you won't see it used as stock footage very much. I have this strange feeling that they really tried to sell SolDozer in this show, and either the writers didn't know how to write episode for him, or they'd just rather write for the humans. There's a scene in a later episode where a child just outright ignores SolDozer. I wonder if that's a subtle commentary on his reception.
>Sugimura + creepiness
A recipe for success. That being said, thanks for another Solbrain episode!

At this point, he would be remotely lucky if he gets a Figuarts/Super Robot Chogokin figure, in the event Solbrain gets any to begin with.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, how does it feel to see MBE adopt your method of preparing projects for Juukou B-Fighter?

I think it's the best way to be able to deliver a quality product on a regular and consistent basis. Allows for a backlog and more proofing time.
Thanks, m8. SolDozer is now officially a motherfucking tank.
And Jesus, that CG was THE FIRST in a Metal Heroes series... If I do remember well, never see another one in any other show of Toei, even sentais and KRs.
