Been intermittently watching Andro Melos, and it's pretty straightforward and budget-conscious. The story is unusually serialized for its time, but that's symptomatic of the fact that the series is one of short episodes and the battles themselves tend to be continued from one episode to the next. There aren't any human characters due to the space setting (and I imagine the lack of on-screen, in-person actors is also due to the obviously limited budget).

We have the title character who's aided by Wolf, Mars, and Floru. Their opponents are the Gua Army, who do the standard trope of blowing-up planets for universal conquest. Juda, Mold, and Gina are the main generals and they have various underlings like a trio of Alien Magma and "Fighting BEM".

The Gua Army has reappeared in recent years, with Juda appearing in Ultra Fight Victory, while Mold and (in-person actor) Gina in X during the team-up with Ginga and Victory. They had something of a cameo in The Absolute Conspiracy, and were pretty integral in The Destined Crossroads. Gina Spectre appeared in Crossroads in a visage more akin to the Melos series.

Melos himself has also reappeared in Conspiracy and Crossroads, but Wolf and Mars and Floru have yet to reappear in recent years. To that end, while I like the overall designs of the Andro Space Force members, I also feel like Floru is rather dated in both design and characterization. Floru is the only female member and she's given little to do, is dismissed and/or belittled by Melos and Mars and even the narrator, and is constantly acting in a stereotypical cross between petulant child and whiney ditz. That's not to say she isn't liked or respected as a member of the team, but it doesn't change the fact that Floru is definitely a "product" of her time. On a side note, her head design reminds me of B-Fighter Ageha (Ladyborg in Metallix and Machine General Tezzla in "Forever Red").

It's also interesting to have a spin-off Ultra Series that doesn't necessarily feature a conventional Ultra. I would like to find others like it, but I doubt there are many. Zero's team is based on a collection of old Tsuburaya shows, but I doubt any of them are canonical in any capacity with all things Ultra.

The odds of getting an official release of the Melos series are not promising. According to official statements, the Masters couldn't be located.

I still recommend it if you want something simple and short and just a little different (but not really).
