action

Winspector is the special unit of the Metropolitan Police, which is called whenever a case seems hopeless for the normal police. The series takes place in a futuristic high-tech society in the Japanese urban jungle in 1999 (in the future from a then perspective). The team consists of three humans and two robots, Robin Kagawa, Chief Masaki, Junko Fujino and the robots Brian and Walter. Depending on the assignment, other members are available to help. With the help of state-of-the-art equipment, the people at Winspector manage to triumph over and over again against unscrupulous criminals. Robin Kagawa, for example, is the only one of his colleagues who can wear cyborg-like armor (crush tector) in order to achieve victory in particularly dangerous situations. When transformed, it is called Fire. Vehicles and special weapons (especially the Gigastreamer) are also available to them. Robin drives a sports car that serves him both as a police vehicle and as a specially armored emergency vehicle in a transformed state (called WinSquad; this is a Chevrolet Camaro RS). Brian drives a special motorcycle (called a Winchaser) and Walter can fly with the help of a rocket backpack . The series ends with the last episode, Die Beast , in which Winspector is now on the hunt for criminals in Paris.

A successor series to Winspector was produced under the name Tokkyū Shirei Solbrain (特 救 指令 ソ ル ブ レ イ ンTokkyū Shirei Soruburein ) , in which Chief Masaki, after Robin, Junko, Brian and Walter left, goes to France and has built up a new police force. Robin has guest appearances in some episodes, however. The series was never translated into German and is very different in style from Winspector .
