7-Zark-7 - Small
cylindrical service robot featured on the sci-fi
cartoon THE BATTLE OF THE PLANETS/SYN/1978-85.
7-Zark-7 monitored the missions of G-Force
from Centre Neptune and provides the members of
G-Force with any mission intelligence that will
help them fulfill their mission. 1-Rover-1 was
his robotic canine companion.
Members of the G-Force included:
Chief Anderson, the head of G-Force (Voice
of Alan Dinehart)
Mark, the leader of G-Force (Voice of
Kasey Kasem)
Jason, Second-in-command (Voice of Ronnie
Schell)

Each member of the G-Force is implanted with
a Cerebonic device that gives them superhuman
strength and the ability to transform (when they
say 'Transmute") into their superhero costumes.

TRIVIA NOTE: The 85 episodes of BATTLE OF THE PLANETS series were actually a
Japanese series called GATCHMAN that was reedited by Sandy Frank Productions.
The original series was more adult-oriented and so much of the violence was cut
out so it could be sold in the American market as a children's program. The
character 7-Zark-7 was created as a bridge to explain the action of the G-Force
characters.
