Synopsis As an artificial human project hears completion, robot BK-1 is activated early by a lightning strke that damages its sense of morals. BK-1, far too well-made for its original purpose of restoring an environmentally damaged world, is immensely strong, armed with a death ray, and almost indestructible. Before long, it is leading a group of killer robots in the attempted destruction of the human world, and seeking to find and attack its creator. Its remorseful creator Professor Azuma Kotaro cybernetically augments his son, Tetsuya to fight them. The dog Lucky, turned into the Cyborg dog Friender, assists him, and his mother is later turned into Swanee, the electronic swan.
