    Looking for names of 80s cyborg film and 70/80s martian vs earth defenders movies
    Hi,

    I am hoping someone can help me with the name of two films:

    1. Probably from the late 80's. The basic idea is that a man (I think a soldier) is changed into a cyborg/android. He has a weaponised arm/hand that fire missles/fire etc. and part of his face has and one eye has been replaced.

    The plot is basically that he is seeking revenge on his creator - I have a vague memory that he teams up with a woman to do this. At the end of the film the villain has rejuvinated himself and also has a more advanced weaponised hand. I am not 100% but I think the cyborg hero gets killed at the end and the woman takes out the villain.

    2. This is a bit of a long shot. My brother and I used to watch this cartoon film a lot, but neither of us can remember the name of it. I think it was from the 70s or 80s.

    The plot was that martians (at the end revealed to be martian robots) are invading the earth. A team of earths defenders have various fights with them to stop the invasion. Here are a few key points:

    - The hero's spaceship looks like a dragon
    - Part of the spaceship detatches and becomes a large (piloted) fighting robot. The robots weapon is a large cross.
    - Inside the robot are smaller vehicles such as a triceratops.
    - At one point the martians trick the team into going to mars, the dragon spaceship crashes and is trapped in a glass dome.
    - There are various fight seens against a giant crab robot and a flying chinese dragon robot.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks

    I believe you are talking about Ninja Senshi Tobikage. The english version is called 'Ninja Robots'.

    Though some of what you are saying refers not directly to what the anime is known for so perhaps you are talking about something else.

    But the spaceship is a dragon, the main robots include a 'golden lion' that certainly can be mistaken for a triceratops.
