The first 13 episodes streamed in Japanese with English subtitles on Anime Sols as of spring 2013 exclusively in North America, but the website is now defunct.

Professor Souzou Amachi (Dr. Richardson) develops the powerful new alloy "tekka" and manages to create the Gigantor-like flying robot "Pegas" and the "Teksetter" system it contains, designed to combat the aliens by augmenting a human with a certain wavelength into the mighty Tekkaman, an indestructible armor-clad "Space Knight" endowed with enhanced strength, the ability to survive in space, and the deadly twin-bladed "Tek Lancer" that can slice through the hull of a spaceship as if it were paper.

Now along with Prof. Amachi's tech-savvy daughter Hiromi (Patricia Richardson) and the sardonic blond-afroed Andro and squirrel-like little Mutan who are from the far-off frozen planet Sanno and possess the power of teleportation, he fights to rid the dying Earth from the threat of the "Waldaster" and continue to research the "Leap Flight Engine" to reach a new home for humanity.

An English-language version was created by a small independent company called William Winckler Productions,[5] but the dub was cancelled in mid-story with only 13 of the show's 26 episodes produced.

[9] Tekkaman also appears in the crossover anime series Infini-T Force co-produced by Tatsunoko and Digital Frontier which aired from October 3 to December 26, 2017.
