Late at night, at a lake surrounded by a peaceful forest, a mysterious spaceship landed on the water. The group that emerged from that ship kidnapped the head of space engineering, Professor Katou, and his family.
The Professor's second son, American football player Yuuji, who had run away from home was in the middle of a game and knew nothing of what had happened.
The four young people watching him were Mark, Dickey, Franco, and Yuri. They were a team of four psychics who had been training in a secret base. They had seen the previous night's events and believed them to be an alien attack. Believing their only option to be the transforming robot Baratack, they used their psychic powers to kidnap Yuuji.
Baratack could only move by combining the powers of Yuuji and the other four acting as one. When all five, including the astonished Yuuji, cried "Pentagoras Unite!” Baratack emerged. Yuuji was overcome with a violent rage, his fighting spirit burning to defeat the Golteus reptile army.

Where it came from
Balatack was produced by Toei Animation in 1977, emerging during a decade defined by the rapid evolution of the super robot genre. Following the commercial success of earlier hits, Toei aimed to capture a younger demographic with this series, which featured a modular robot capable of separating into several smaller vehicles. The production sought to balance traditional giant robot combat with a slightly more lighthearted, team-oriented narrative structure that was becoming increasingly popular in mid-70s Japanese television.
The character and mechanical designs were rooted in the aesthetic conventions of the era, emphasizing bold color palettes and distinct transformation gimmicks intended to translate effectively into accompanying toy lines. While the series did not achieve the same enduring cultural legacy as contemporaries like Mazinger Z or Voltes V, it remains a notable example of Toei's output during the period, reflecting the industry's focus on experimental team-based mecha concepts that pushed the boundaries of traditional robot animation.
