Nobita and the Steel Troops (のび太と鉄人兵団, Nobita and the Steel Troops?) is a Doraemon feature film released in 1986. The original plot was written by Fujiko F. Fujio. Alternate titles include The Platoon of Iron Men, or The Robot Army.
Jealous of Sueno's new robot toy, Nobita asks Doraemon to build him an even better one. The robot cat decides open a portal to a mirror world to fulfill the boy's request. After gathering robot parts that fall from the sky, the giant robot, Zandecross, is soon completed. The duo soon learn that the robot is not a mere toy, but a powerful weapon in the fight against the coming Robot Army that is going to attack Earth and enslave the human inhabitants of it. An invasion is near, and it is up to the mysterious girl Lilulu to prevent it.
[edit] Zandecross
Mecha fans think the mecha was similar to MSN-100 Hyaku Shiki, so everyone thinks the mecha's designer was Kunio Okawara, but this rumor was false. The true mecha designer was manga artist Takaya Kenji (たかや健二), he's designed mecha based on Hyaku Shiki.
