ASTRO'S WEAPONS

ASTRO SHOULD GET SOMEKIND OF COOL ARMOR !

I dunno...he seems to be well protected against small arms and ballistic shrapenal. A good ability to get distance from exploding missiles works just as good as the best armor.

Though if I were Doc Elifun I'd get worried about Astro's quirk of catching missiles and using them as throwing clubs ; )

Actually Astro did have some armor added. The first story from vol. 22 of the manga has Astro wearing some chest armor. He had it because Tezuka decided to do a sequel to the last episode of the 60's series in which he took a bomb into the sun and was never heard from again. Tezuka got lots of letters asking him to write a sequel saving him, so he did. He had some aliens rescue him from drifting in space. They repaired him but made some "improvements" mainly the chest armor and a time travel dial on his forehead, thus making him a living time machine. He evan got a girl friend, an alien who loved him at first sight and became his traveling companion. He had no memory of where he came from or what time period, so he had to travel through time to find his home. This was a series of manga that Tezuka wanted to use as a pilot for a new Astro series, but it wasn't popular so he never finished the saga and only the first story was printed in the Dark Horse manga. To bad cause this would have been an awesome animated show and a nice companion to the 60's series. I guess it was the armor that people didn't like.

Well, he should proboly wear SOMETHING. I mean, who lets a 9 year old run around in underwear?:wacko: I mean, hasn't Astro heard of human decency? then again, he's not human. BTW, I read that too. I thought it was a cool concept.

Astro: Hey, you wouldn't want the monthly bill for all the clothes that I ruin. Asking me to wear a constume or something is like asking a space shuttle to wear a dress.
