Technic Heroes

Technic Heroes is the name given to the long-running El Kadsreian tokusatsu movie series created and distributed by El TV Kadsre and the Toei Company along with Ryu Hamasaki Releasing. It was planned from the late 1950s as Heroes of EKTV. When Technic and El TV Kadsre established their relationship, it was renamed to Technic Heroes in 1974 and the first film in the franchise, Robotman was released only in the Vlokozu Union in 1976 (Nova Orbis was the first film to be released internationally, it was released in Vlokozu Union, Soviet Union and Brazil in 1978 and the rest of the world in 1979.) It is supposed to be El TV Kadsre's belated answer to Kamen Rider. A couple of years later, it became Super Sentai-themed franchise. The only popular franchise in the Technic Heroes universe was Bionicle.

Concept and development (1955-1976)
Elkan Boukough came up with the idea of Technic Heores as early as 1955 while he was reading some pulp fiction magazines like Startling Stories. He contacted El Kadsreian Films (now El TV Kadsre Films) to request to make a movie about a robot as founded on Startling Stories. In 1957, the development of the which now known as the "1957 Robotman draft" was cancelled and the film was never filmed likely because the suits, at the time was extremely difficult to make.

In 1971, during the time El TV Kadsre was suffering the 10-year-long downturn, Elkan rediscovered the draft, where it laying here in his bedroom closet while he was moving to the new house. He decided to rework the entire film from scratch by redesigning the characters and rewrite the plot. He requested Ryu Hamasaki to write the film for him. Elkan wanted to make the film series of it. When he found that El TV Kadsre and Technic, the energy drink has relationships, he and El TV Kadsre named the series Technic Heroes.

The Dark Era (1996-1999)
In 1996, El TV Kadsre left the MCA because of the El TV Kexit campaign. On July 29 of the same year, due to the negative reception of the 1996 film Bionicle: The Next Generation, El TV Kadsre announced that Bionicle is officially cancelled again which marked the start of the Dark Era. In September 1996, Technic Heroes created a new franchise, called Lana X, a female robot that sparks with butterflies and glitters. It was first released starting with a comic/manga in 1997, then with a TV show in 2000, and a movie in 2003.
