In "Super Electromagnetic Mechanical Thunderbolt 5" directed by Nagahama Tadao , the protagonist "Thunderbolt 5" is a super robot built to fight against the Boasan Empire's giant combat machine "Beast". It is composed of five Thunder crews including Thunder cruiser, Thunder bomber, Thunder tank, Thunder battleship, and Thunder landing vehicle. When the five aircraft are arranged in a V-shaped formation, they will merge by shouting "LET'S VOLT IN!" When this work was introduced to the Philippines in 1978, it achieved a viewership rating of over 50%, and was regarded as one of the important keys to the people launching the "People Power Revolution" to overthrow the Marcos dictatorship. After nearly half a century, GMA Network of the Philippines and Toei of Japan finally adapted this work into a live-action series "Voltes V: Legacy" , which will begin broadcasting in the Philippines in May 2023.

It uses delicate modeling and color painting to reproduce the multi-layered armor and high-definition armor that are different from the original work. Designed with dense details, from the mechanical structure of the body surface to the wheels and propulsion nozzles on the soles of the feet, all have precise shapes.
In addition to the three types of interchangeable hands on the left and right, there are also parts for the signature weapons "Sky Sword", "Super Electromagnetic Whip", "Super Electromagnetic Gyro", etc. The weapon "Thunder Bazooka" built into the wrist can also be borrowed.
