The story:

At the end of the 21st century the earth was invaded by a horde of mutant spider-crabs under the control of the venomoid warlord, Darkon. Purpose of the Alien invasion is to expand the Cosmos Region and capture as many humans as they can and turn them (using a transformation system called the teknopod) into super bio-weapons called tekkamen. The first group of people to be captured is a family of space explorers. Member of the family is a young man named Nick Carter also known as Blade in the series. While the entire family is transformed to evil tekkamen ready to serve their master Darkon, Blade manages to escape the teknopod and the transformation phase with the help of his father. As result Blade acquires the Alien technology called the teknosystem, at the same time he manages to keep his human feelings. Using his newly obtained powers, Blade struggles to reach the earth and warn the humans for the upcoming Alien invasion. There he meets the Space Knights, a special tast force led by the Commander Jamison. An aliance is built between Tekkaman Blade and the Space Knights and the battle against the Alien venomoids begins.

Teknosystem:
The teknoman bio armor is more like a living organism than a mechanical suit. It was developed by the Aliens as a weapon to use against their enemies. The suit uses the bio energy of the wearer, existing in symbiosis with him/her. The wearer has the ability to repair the suit if damaged in battle, using bio energy. The bio energy however is drained slowly from the wearer as they use the armour. This is actually Blade's weakest point when using the tekno mode, since his transformation wasnt complete he can only use his tekno mode for 30 minutes. Exceeding this time limit will have as result the loss of his human feelings and nature turning him to one of the venomoids. The strongest weapon on the tekno armour is the voltekker. A super powerful bio energy beam. The voltekker gets activated with the voice of the wearer and it has the power to turn any kind of material to dust. The tekno armour is called into being and later sent away by using the "teknocrystal" or change crystal - usually a four-pointed crystal that fits the hand. It is normally absorbed into the body when not in use. At some point in the series, Blade's crystal gets shattered and he's unable to use the tekno armour. That's when the teknobot Pegasus comes to the picture. Pegasus is a robot made by the mechanics of the Space Knights. It carries an internal chamber where Blade can transform to tekkaman. The shattered crystal is attached on the teknobot and all the missing data required for the transformation are given to the crystal via a small circuit.
Synopsis:
Definately the best anime I ever watched. It was also the first anime that got my attention and to be honest, Tekkaman Blade was the reason I got into japanese animation and comics back in 1996. I was simply amazed when I saw Blade's transformation for the first time. Seems that the artists used the style of the medieval knight armour when designed the characters. They're outstanding by all means. The first series includes 45 episodes. I have 39 of them in .rm format (around 30mb each episode). If anyone's interested contact me for details on how to get the episodes.
