Somehow, it slipped my mind to link to this interview where the creator, Genndy Tartakovsky mentions his influences including Battle of the Planets.
TZN: What were the TV shows or movies that inspired Sym-Bionic Titan the most?
GENNDY TARTAKOVSKY: Well, what hasn't inspired Titan? Mainly, I think the two biggest influences have been John Hughes movies (Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, etc) and G-Force/Battle of the Planets. The character visual style is a mixed bag of goodies. Speed Racer, Astro Boy, the Fleischer Bros., and other Osamu Tezuka manga. The robots were designed by Paul Rudish and I think there’s always a Shogun Warrior aspect but for this project we were inspired by Micronauts (the toy line and not so much the comic book). I'm sure Paul has extra hidden influences that he keeps all to himself!!
Anyway's, it's a pretty awesome show. Like its two predacessors, Samurai Jack and the SW Clone Wars Miniseries (NOT the CG series running right now) it's got some dazzling visuals and flair to it.
I was just catching up with the series on my DVR, and yeah Lance's father is MOST definitely Nambu. Wish I could provide a screenshot.
