'Phoenix King' ( 'Bulsajo roboteu Pinikseu-King') is a South Korean animated feature film. It was later dubbed into English and released in America and Europe as 'Defenders of Space' and parts of its footage was used to create 'Space Thunder Kids'. The small image of the movie poster depicts a toy version of Phoenix King that was released.
Phoenix King is identical to a 'Diaclone' toy No.10 Fire Engine, that later became Inferno of the 'Transformers'. This is the earliest animated version of said toy.
Criticism
The film is infamous for copying designs from numerous Super Robot Series in Japan, especially Mazinger Z, Ippatsuman, Space Cruiser Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam and many of Leiji Matsumoto's work. China's Astro Plan later is said to have ripped off far more numerous series.
