The story is about 16 years old boy Takeshi who recently formed an American football team at the BlueSky orphanage. One day the game is interuppted by a light in the sky. Takeshi discovers he is the son of the king of the planet Apolon, spirited away to Earth by his father's retainer Rabi to avoid death at the hands of General Dazaan. He turns out to have special energy abilities which can control UFO saucers from under the ocean floor, which in turn can become robots that are synchronized to their movements.

Where it came from
UFO Senshi Dai Apolon was produced by Eiken and first broadcast in 1976, emerging during the peak of the Japanese robot anime boom that followed the success of Mazinger Z. The series was designed to capitalize on the fascination with giant mechanical heroes, distinguishing itself through its unique premise involving a protagonist who transformed into the robot itself rather than piloting it from a cockpit, a concept rooted in the fusion of sports and science fiction tropes.
The character design and visual direction, overseen by the team at Eiken, leaned heavily into the bold, colorful aesthetic typical of mid-seventies television animation. While it functioned as a vehicle to sell character-themed toys and merchandise, the series remains notable among animation historians for its experimental approach to hero transformation sequences and its place within the foundational lineage of the super robot genre.
