Story
|
For
ages the evil armies of the Demon Star Empire have plundered
and ravaged many planets in the Universe. One of those
conquered planets was the peaceful “M” Star.
Survivors of the onslaught flee the invaders and come
to Earth. Once on Earth, the “M” Star People
integrate and assimilate with human society in the hopes
of keeping their civilization alive.
The
descendants of these “M” Star People are
the Hayase Siblings Tetsuro, Yuuji and Yuri. They form
the organization SAT (Space Attack Team) as a means
to protect the Universe from the likes of the Demon
Star Empire.
These
“Devils” eventually set their sights on
Earth and send their conquering forces.
Using
“M” Star Technology the Hayase Siblings
become the Triple Fighter. Using their powers they battle
the various “Devils” sent to Earth.

Triple
Fighter
The Hayase Trio can use “M” Star
Technology to become the Triple Fighter. Tetsuo becomes
Green Fighter, Yuuji becomes Red Fighter, and Yuri becomes
Orange Fighter. Each of the Fighters has their own unique
abilities: Green
Fighter who represents Wisdom, has incredible strength
centered around his “Green Arms”. He can
deliver powerful punches.
Red Fighter who represents Courage, has great kicking
abilities. His kick attacks include his “Hurricane
Kick” and “Red Fire”.
Orange Fighter who represents Heart (Love) is a skilled
markswoman. She has great acrobatic capabilities “Orange
Jump” and can deliver devastating punches called
her “Orange Punch”.
When
the need arises (as it usually does) they can also combine
themselves to form the even more powerful, single entity
know as Triple Fighter.
With
a command of “Triple Fighter”, the trio
jump and join into the air, forming a circle whereby
they can “henshin” and merge into a single
entity, the powerful Triple Fighter, who has the combined
abilities of all three.
In
this form, “they” are practically invincible.
“Their” main attack is the “Triple
Kick”.

SAT
SAT (Space Attack Team) was formed by the Hayase Trio
to combat the forces of the Demon Star Empire. Based in
Paris, France SAT is the first line of defense against
all Intergalactic Invasion. Using
vehicles and weaponry created by Tetsuro using “M”
Star Technology, they battle the various agents sent
by the “Devils”.
Among
the vehicles they use are the SAT Car, the SAT Buggy,
the SAT Cycles No. 1 and No. 2.
They
are also aided by the sentient computer “Bulcomm”
who seems to have taken a liking to Yuri.

DEVILS
of the Demon Star Empire
The Demon Star Empire is a vast army of conquers who have
plundered many planets in the galaxy. They are a sadistic
and evil race of monsters who utilize “cyborgs”
as their main agents of destruction. Having
discovered Earth, they send a conquering party deep
beneath the Earth’s surface, where they build
a vast underground base within the Earth’s core.
From this subterranean headquarters they launch their
devilish attacks.

| Trivia/Factoids |
Japanese
Plastic Doll & Toy Manufacturer “Bull Mark”
sponsored the show and may have also influenced the
designs of the characters.
The
way the series ended was somewhat unique in that it
left the story with an open-ended finale. Having been
defeated the “Devils” flee Earth and set
their sites on another planet called “Aura”.
The Hayase Trio bid Earth farewell and head out into
space to chase after the “Devils”.
The
base car that was used for the “Devils”
transport vehicles was the Subaru 360.
