The series was broadcast by TV Tokyo affiliates in 1991 on the Monday 5:30PM time slot and aired weekly from April 7 to December 23, lasting 37 episodes. Metal Jack was originally planned as a sequel to the live-action tokusatsu show Dennou Keisatsu Cybercop, but due to complications with the show's production, it was made into an animated series instead without any official ties to Cybercop. However, due to low viewership, the length of the show's run was shortened by thirteen episodes. Head writer Hiroyuki Kawasaki would later recycled some of the same situations from Metal Jack in Brave Police J-Decker. The show was also the debut of Nobutoshi Canna (who acted under the stage name of Nobutoshi Hayashi). PlotIn the year 2015, cyber-crimes, murders and terrorism have become an epidemic in Tokyo and the average police force are not capable enough to handle it all. Commander Masanao Daigo of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department plans to solve this problem by searching for talented candidates for his "Metal Project". One day, a robot sent out by the criminal organization Ido targets Jun Zaizen, the young heir of the Zaizen Konzern, during a party held in his honor. Three young men, MPD officer Ken Kanzaki, F1 race car driver Ryo Aguri, and professional wrestler Go Goda, are mortally wounded while protecting the young boy. Because of their heroic deed, the three men are chosen for the Metal Project and brought back to life as cyborgs, forming the Armored Police Metal Jack. CharactersMetal Jack

Equipment
The bracelet worm by each member of Metal Jack, which they used to summon the Jack Suits and the Jack Armors. They also function as wireless communicators. The devices featured the Armored Police emblem stored in a compartment inside, which the team used to get a free pass during investigations. The Jack Brace used by Shadow is an older model full of scratches and equipped with a volume knob, and unlike the Jack Braces used by the main three heroes, it is not adorned with any emblem.
The primary armor of the Metal Jacks, equipped during the initial phases of an investigation or a battle. They are transmitted unto the wearer's body through a Jack Brace through the command "Suit On!". The suits are all equipped with a small compression cylinder which allows for better evasive movement and the inhaling of gas.
A rescue tool used by the team when wearing the Jack Suits, its primary function is to save people's lives. In Episode 4, it was used to cut the cable of a shutter in order to rescue a group of people trapped inside a building. It also has the ability to clean up rubble.
A patrol car with the capability of flight. It is used by both, the Metal Jacks and the regular police.
The standard-issue sidearm of the Metal Jacks. It can be transformed into a rifle by setting the long barrel that is folded underneath the standard barrel. This gimmick was carried over to the toy version, which changes the sound effect caused by the toy gun. The toy version was re-released as part of the Brave Police J-Decker toyline.
A nightstick-like weapon used by the Metal Jacks. The sticks can be covered with energy that allows them to be used as swords. Jack ArmorsThe {{nihongo4|Jack Armors|ジャックアーマー}} are the secondary equipment of the Metal Jacks, which are wore over the Jack Suits when facing an extremely dangerous threat. They are transmitted unto the Jack Suits by the Jack Braces when the command "Jack On!" is given. The Jack Armors are actually support robots or vehicles that are dismantled into upper and lower armor, as well as weapons when they transform. When wearing a Jack Armor, the wearer's uncovered portions will not suffer damage even if the armors are destroyed. However, due to the fact that the armors are neurally linked to their bodies, their arms will sustain injuries if they carry too much load.
Ken's armor. It is transformed from Ken's robotic dog companion called {{nihongo4|Lander|ランダー}}. Lander is usually colored black like other robotic dogs, but turns red when Ken transforms into his Jack Suit (Lander's weight also increases and some of his details are changed). Lander can also transform into a hoverbike named the {{nihongo4|Jack Speeder|ジャックスピーダー}}. Its special move is the {{nihongo4|Metal Crusher Punch|メタルクラッシャーパンチ|}}, in which Ken approaches the enemy with a rolling dash, followed by strike with a super-vibrating fist. It is also equipped with a beam gun on its helmet. Its firearm is called the {{nihongo4|Hyper Magnum|ハイパー・マグナム}}.
Ryo's armor. It is transformed from a flying jet board called the {{nihongo4|Jack Falcon|ジャックファルコン}}. Its special move is the {{nihongo4|Blizzard Beam|ブリザードビーム}}, in which Ryo shoots freeze beams from both of his hands. Both of its arms are equipped with {{nihongo4|Electromagnetic Cutters|ソニックカッター|Sonic Cutter}}. Its firearm is called the {{nihongo4|Freezer Shot|フリーザーショット}}
Go's armor. It is transformed from a large four-wheeled motorcycle called the {{nihongo4|Jack Roader|ジャックローダー}}, which has excellent underwater capabilities. Its special move is the {{nihongo4|Jet Dynamite|ジェットダイナマイト}}, in which Go performs an accelerated body rush with his armor's booster. Both of its shoulders are equipped with homing missile launchers. Its firearm is called the {{nihongo4|Prominencer|プロミネンサー}}.
Shadow's armor. It is transformed from a special security robot called {{nihongo4|Bolter|ボルター}}. Shadow can only wear the armor for a limited since it was originally an experimental prototype developed military. As a safety mechanism, it is automatically unequipped when the wearer has used for five minutes. It is equipped with numerous weapons such as missile launchers from chests and front shoulders and cannon from its back shoulders.
A new type of armor that was developed in preparations with the ever-increasing strength of Ido's forces. It is eventually made into a second Jack Armor worn by Ken. It is transformed from a large three-wheeled bike called the {{nihongo4|Red Cepter|レッドセプター}}, which also transforms into a jet board called the {{nihongo4|Jet Cepter|ジェットセプター}}. Although it is highly efficient, Ken must carry on an even greater amount of weight than his regular Red Jack Armor. The head part of the Cepter machine can also split off from its body and form a bird-like mecha called the {{nihongo4|J-Bird|Jバード}}. Its special movie is the {{nihongo4|Jet Metal Crusher Punch|ジェットメタルクラッシャーパンチ}}, in which Ken accelerates using a pair of boosters equipped on his elbows. Its firearm is the {{nihongo4|Burst Riser|バーストライザー}}. Others
A new type of armor worn by Torodail that was developed by Dr. Guilria to defeat the Metal Jack. Despite its similarities to the Jack Armors, it was never released as a toy. Staff
