> Can you (or anyone) remember the name of that old live action giant-robot show that featured three robots named Goldar, Silvar and Gam, who turned into rockets? They had some old guru advisor (creator?) whose name, I think, was Methuselah. They were always fighting off giant monsters sent to conquer Earth by this ugly galactic conquistador-type. I think the name of the show was "Space Giants", or something like that. This goes all the way back to around 1980, I think--anyone else remember it?

Wow! You mean there's three people who remember this show? My friend and I couldn't remember the names of the robots.

It had a kid with a whistle who could summon the giant robot/rockets, right? I remember watching the show on WGN back in the late '70s. I don't remember much aside from the whistle, the robots living in some sort of cave/volcano thing, and a car that had wings sliding out of the roof, then it took off flying in the air. I remember thinking how neat the car/plane was.

Just checked over at us.imdb.com -- scant information, but they date the show as done in 1967. It aired in the US in the late 70s, early 80s on WGN out of Chicago.

I seem to recall that it was on right around the time Ultraman was on and something called "Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot", yet another Japanese Giant Robot with Kid Sidekick Defending the Earth from Alien Monsters show. This one could make a burning X appear before him that shot out to hit the bad creature.
