This is a pretty fun show, sort of a crazy mashup of Spiderman and a 70s tokusatsu series:

By the way, TOEI wanted to be true to the comics, but toy manufacturer Ban Dai wanted to make more money and transforming robots were popular so they had TOEI include Marveller/Leopardon in the show. Unfortunately, the Leopardon suit was stolen after the first episode so they had to make do with stock footage from episode 2 onward.
His car, the Spider Machine, was presumably ALSO included for toy sales.

Hmm... how to best express myself in signature form?
Well, I'm back. I need to get back into the series, been so long since I read volume 7.

Leopardon was also released in America as part of the Shogun Warriors line.
