Tetsujin28-gō?, literally "Iron Man28 is a 1956 manga written and illustrated by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, who also created Giant Robo. The series centred on the adventures of a young boy named Shotaro Kaneda, who controlled a giant robot named Tetsujin 28, built by his late father.
STORY
During the final days of World War II, the Japanese military is secretly developing a superweapon intended to help save the Japanese Empire. After twenty-seven failed attempts, Dr. Kaneda completes a three-story high, remote-controlled robot. The robot is officially named Tetsujin 28-go. The war, however, is already over, and Dr. Kaneda dies of heart failure shortly after completing Tetsujin 28. Rather than becoming the military's key weapon, Tetsujin 28 is given to Dr. Kaneda's ten-year-old son, Shotaro. Under Shotaro's control, Tetsujin is put to work stopping criminals and enemy robots.
This is in fact the worlds first super robot and is considered the grand daddy of all mecha the only weapons he contained were his punches and kicks with the accessory of having a jet pack for flight and propulsion. This mecha series is from the 1960s and so it is of course in black and white to any of you who would wish to know.
