Overview
Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! is an American/Japanese animated television series, and was created by Ciro Nieli, one of the directors of Teen Titans, with animation being done by a Japanese studio known as The Answer Studio. Set mainly on the fictional planet of Shuggazoom, the series follows the adventures of five cyborg monkeys and a human boy named Chiro as they struggle to protect their planet - and the rest of the universe - from the forces of evil. As is obvious from the visual appearance of the show, there is a significant anime influence present, despite being produced for American television. It was also influenced by Star Trek, Super Sentai, Voltron, and Star Wars. The show also contains various references to pop culture, a notable example being the episode "Season of the Skull", which is a parody of the 1970s thriller The Wicker Man.

On a rescue mission, Chiro's fear holds him back once more, and no doubt would he have drowned if the team had not saved him at the last minute. Deciding to get to the source of the problem, they plunge down to the deep depths of Shuggazoom's water base, to find that the pillars holding everything up are terribly corroded. And the massive dents look oddly like teeth marks...

Imagine the team's surprise when they discover that the giant planetoid is actually a living, speaking space creature!
