Dai X actually IS one of those cheesy Japanese monsters!  He was designed by Go Nagai who's famous for coming up with manga's concept of human controlled mecha and is responsible for various anime series like Devilman.  Star Fleet is actually a dubbed and slightly edited version of X Bomber, which was the show's name in Japan.  More details on the site...  Brian May used Dai X for one of the sleeves of the various releases of his Star Fleet theme cover, incidentally.

Greetings one and all.  Glad you're enjoying SFXB - say hello to the webmaster!  Funnily enough I was nosing round the other night trying to figure out which issue Johnny Alpha died in - turns out I didn't quite have it in my collection!

To answer some queries - the lyrics version of the theme tune is on the closing credits, not the intro which is why you may have missed them but still know them.  There's a full episode, in fairly low quality, on the site at the moment.  Battle of the Planets, particularly the version we see with 7 Zark 7 is a seriously butchered version of the original Gatchaman series.  Some discussion of BOTP on my site's forum, along with Terrahawks and the like.  Feel free to drop by.

Oh, and finally - in another of life's little coincidences, I once played Alien War / Laser Quest with the 2000 AD team having won a competition in Comics International, mid 1990s.  I came across my 2000 AD badge when I was digging through some stuff last night.  S'funny old world!
