Machine Robo

Rom Stol is a heroic member of the Cronos tribe, but he was not born on the planet Cronos. He came to the planet as a child with his family in a ship piloted by his father. He is the middle child in his family, with his older brother Gardi and younger sister Leina. He was trained by his father Master Kirai Stol in Tenku Chushin Ken martial arts along side his friend and constant companions Blue Jet and Rod Drill. Rom Stol's a main weapon is the Wolf Sword, given to him by his father, which can summon the Blade Dragon (Kenryu in Japan) and Vikung-Fu (Baikanfu in Japan) armors. He also uses a Blazer Cannon and a Power Riser suit. Rom frequently drives a sentient, but non-transforming car, named Flex.

Reception

Animated series

Rom Stol receives the Wolf Sword from his father in Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos episode #1, "Rising Storm! The Fighting Style of Justice!"

Rom Stol was one of the main characters in the animated series Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos. He first appeared in episode #1, "Rising Storm! The Fighting Style of Justice!". He lead his friends and fellow martial arts students Rod Drill and Blue Jet in rescuing Leina Stol and Triple Jim from Devil Satan 6.[1]

In Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos episode #10, "Defeat Bug, the User of Darkness!", Rom confronted a group of bandits lead by his fellow martial arts student Bug Newman who were attacking Iron City. Bug and Iron Sand were defeated by Rom and Vikung-Fu.[2]

In episode #19, "Race to the Death!" Rom Stol and Flex narrowly lost the race at Momo to Rod Drill.[3]

In episode #27, "The Magic Mountain Knight Maskrock" Devilrock, Doublerock and Geigerrock spied on the team lead by Rom on their way back to Yamalin City.

In episode #28, "Tough Trailer - 10 Seconds to Detonation" Rom was present in Yamalin City during a Gandora that lead to the city's core computer starting a self-destruct countdown. The Countdown was stopped at the last moment by Rod Drill.[4]

In episode #31, "The Curse of the Demon Sword Medusa", Battle Robo, Missile Tank Robo and Skyline Robo attempted to talk Rom Stol into taking the fight to the Gandora instead of waiting for them to attack again.

In episode #35, "The Secret of the Jewel People", Rubyman was trapped in Devil's Cave and sent Magnarock for help. Devilrock and Doublerock pursued Magnarock until Rom and Pro Truck Racer intervened. Magnarock returned with Leina Stol, Pro Truck Racer, Rod Drill, Rom Stol and Triple Jim, who freed him. Outside the cave they were confronted by Gandora forces lead by Diondra. She promised not to harm the other if Rubyman went with her. Although Rubyman agreed to go for the sake of the others, Blue Jet arrived with reinforcements and helped them overcome the Gandora.[5]

In episode #38, "Raise Your Gun Helitranser", Rom Stol lead a team which attempted to ambush Devil Satan 6 members Gillhead and Barabat in the city streets, but it ended up being a trap set by Ashura.

In episode #41, "Power Riser - Break Through the Enemy" when Rom attempts to leave in his Power Riser suit to take on the Gandora he is joined by many of his allies, including Bike Robo, Blue Jet, Kenpo Robo, Leina Stol, Rod Drill and Triple Jim.
