Hurricane Polymar

Onigawara, the director of the International Secret Police Agency, looked forward to making Takeshi a top-notch criminal investigator. Takeshi was given training, which turned him into an all-around sportsman as well as martial arts expert. However, Takeshi's attitude toward crime-fighting was so incompatible with Onigawara's, that he disowned him. For a while Takeshi investigated crime alone; then he became a private detective Joe Kuruma's assistant and general handyman under the alias Takeshi Yoroi. Secretly, however, Takeshi obtained from a scientist a new artificial polymer, polymet, that was far stronger than steel. With this polymet Takeshi transformed himself into Hurricane Polymar, a costumed hero for fight for the justice and defeat to the different gangs.[6][7][8]

Hurricane Polymar's main ability, aside from augmented strength and high-speed rotation, is transforming into one of five different vehicles (described below). Polymar's suit can also last up to forty-six minutes and one second before having to transform back; if Takeshi does not reverse the transformation, he is in danger of dying from hyperthermia. Since the suit is powered by magnetism, it is vulnerable to high voltage and will also lose power in temperatures lower than −50 degrees Celsius. When inactive, the suit is disguised as Takeshi's motorcycle helmet.

Polymar's vehicles are:

• Polymar Hawk (supersonic jet);
• Polymar Grampus (submarine);
• Polymar Drill (tank with twin drills);
• Polymar Machine (formula-one race car); and
• Polymar Roller (steam roller).

In the second episode of the Time Bokan: Royal Revival OVA, Polymar appears alongside other the Tatsunoko heroes. A two-part anime OVA was created in the mid-1990s entitled Hurricane Polymar: Holy Blood featuring extremists that mutate into amphibious shark-like creatures. The OVA was intended to have three episodes, but was cancelled after the second, thus ending without a proper conclusion. Urban Vision initially released it on VHS in the late 1990s, but since then the U.S. DVD rights have gone to Discotek Media. Hurricane Polymar was featured in the PlayStation game Tatsunoko Fight with him and Teru (in a costume she wore in episode 15) as playable characters along with an original character named Astral Chameleon who is composed of the souls of the criminals that died in the series. Hurricane Polymar later appeared as a playable character in the Wii video game Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars.
