Over a decade after this series’ conclusion, Valiant would score a big hit with its remake, Magnus Robot Fighter, which tells how a young man named Magnus combats malevolent robots in a world that has gone soft from its reliance on the mechanical helpers.

In this earlier series, which ran from 1963 to 1977, the adult Magnus faces much more benevolent robots. Rather than do battle, Magnus can usually disarm the rare renegade robot with his knowledge and 41st century technology. He also has some help from the Outsiders, and the political power that comes from being married to Leeja, the daughter of a senator.
