MAZINGER Z SPORTSTER SCRAMBLER
Translated with DeepL.com (free version) The first MAZINGER Z bike has been made in Spain, it is a Harley Davidson and has been the work of Francisco Alí Manén and his team at Lord Drake Kustoms based in Málaga and Miami. The famous robot from the popular manga series of the 70’s and 80’s Mazinger Z has been converted into a Sportster Scrambler by Fran Manen (owner of Lord Drake Kustoms)…. Specifically, on a scrambler model called DRAKER 2 (the new Harley Davidson Sportster-based two-person scrambler line recently created by the Spanish bike builder).
BASED ON THE MAZINGER Z ANIME
Mazinger Z is a manga and anime series created by Japanese cartoonist and screenwriter Gō Nagai and first published in 1972. Mazinger Z was the first giant robot manned by a protagonist, and the story is about a group of scientists who have a giant robot at their disposal in their fight against the evil forces of Dr. Hell.
Film personalities such as Guillermo del Toro have admitted to having been inspired by Mazinger Z when creating the film Pacific Rim; or Michael Bay has also stated that the Mazinger Z series has had a great influence on the Transformers franchise; and despite not being a film personality, Fran Manen has also been inspired by this series that made him dream in his childhood (as well as thousands of children around the world) and with this work he wanted to pay tribute to the famous robot and its creator Gō Nagai.
