Earlier this month, transforming mecha series Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion announced that it would be collaborating with Galaxy Express 999, the classic series by Leiji Matsumoto.
Maetel will be voiced, as previously announced, by Satsuki Yukino, who took over the role of Maetel from Masako Ikeda.
Maetel will pilot the Shinkalion Z H5 Hokuto, a new transforming train mecha built for combat in cold weather.
