is a Japanese anime
series that follows the adventures of five teenagers (Yuji, Yuri, Mac, Franco, and Dicky) as they fight against an evil alien force using the titular combining mecha, Barattack. The show aired on TV Asahi between 1977 and 1978 on Sundays between 18:00 - 18:25.
The series is loosely related to Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and it's sequel series JAKQ Dengeki Tai
in that the five main characters wear multicolored costumes. Yuji wears the traditional red representing the team leader, Yuri (the token female member) wears the traditional pink with skirt, Mac wears light blue, Franco wears green, and Dicky wears orange. Unlike the sentai
teams in the aforementioned series however, they do not engage in hand-to-hand martial arts combat, only fighting in their combining mecha.
All 31 episodes have been released on three Region 2 DVD sets in Japan in March, April and May 2010.
