Getter Robo Go (ゲッターロボ號, Gettā Robo Gō), sometimes romanized as Getter Robot Go and known in the United States as Venger Robo,[1] is a Japanese mecha anime and manga series and the third entry in the Getter Robo franchise originally created by Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa.

The anime was originally broadcast from February 11, 1991, to January 27, 1992, on TV Setouchi and TV Tokyo with a total of 50 episodes.[2][3][4][5] Along with the TV series, a few manga versions were released. One of them was released in the US under the name Venger Robo and in Spain as Venger Robot Go. The international title given to the anime on Toei's website is Goldbang.[6]

The manga written by Ishikawa is a sequel to the original Getter Robo manga and its second instalment, Getter Robo G, taking place some years after G. Go itself is followed by the Getter Robo Arc manga and anime. The Getter Robo Go anime is a very loose adaptation of the manga.
