Actually, in the Force Five version Orion's earth name is Johnny Valconian as the professor acted as his father to further the charade. Also, the other pilot, Koji, who later piloted the Spacer 2, is known as Lance Hyatt.

    According to the Forve Five version Antares was populated with the galaxy's most intelligent scientific minds, their intelligence was forced into subjugation and they were the one's who created Grandizer.  This is what enabled Orion Quest to steal the robot and flee from the Vegans.

Sorry. but Antares/Fleed did NOT create Grandizer. All the accounts of how OrionQuest/Duke Fleed came to earth mention the fact that he did steal the robot from his Vegan captors. Also, an important part of the plot in episode 49 The Last Survivor is that Princess Maria Grace Fleed's "grandfather" (actually her preceptor) gets killed in an accident he could not avoid because he was frantic after seeing Grandizer, which he recognized as the machine that spearheaded the attack on Antares/Fleed... Antares were peace lovers who would never have created such a war machine.


About the Fanboy's obsession with the plot summary

The article about the anime show Grendizer has been edited (in a amateurish and selfish way) by some "fanboy" who does not appreciate previous attempts of cleaning the article to a standard quality and value, and apparently does not understand that the purpose of this encyclopedia is to provide the most accurate information about the original subject, regardless of its origin and language.

For example, the last edit made by this person consisted in editing plot information and trying to justify his actions by writing that, quote "For this English Wikipedia we shall use the English version of the story[...]".

This person has to consider that the focus of a plot summary based on Force Five Grandizer, a Japanese anime series that was edited and modified from the original for foreign marketing (in this case in the U.S.) cannot be taken as the ultimate and source of information, but rather as an alternate source, or in another case, an source of the "modified version". For an example of this reasoning, the person should refer to the Macross/Robotech anime articles, which provides an ample example of how to handle information about an original Japanese anime show (Macross), and its American-edited counterpart (Robotech).

I must make myself clear to say that the plot information provided by this person is welcome and highly appreciated, it just has to be managed and presented in a proper manner.

I suggest to this person that he or she should be more open and conscious about the true intent of an encyclopedia, not limiting him/herself by closed-minded views of languages and sources. papo1975
