 Gatchaman Overview by Alara Rogers
In Gatchaman II, they generate the Whirlwind Fighter with their belts (I'm not kidding.) They stand in a circle, holding hands, and their belt buckles glow as a whirlwind is generated in the center.
Gatchaman II, however, was translated under the name "Gatchaman: Le Combat des Galaxies", and this was apparently done as Gatchaman, not BOTP.
Gatchaman has American superheroes at its root, and it shows in the heroes' morality (*not* preachiness, mind you) and in the somewhat Americanized design of the characters.

Gatchaman was considered ground-breaking anime in its time, and spawned the "team" superhero stories.
Although S'sai X is the brains behind the Galactor outfit, we don't see too much of him very often - mostly he manipulates his pawns to do his bidding (pawns he has no real particular interest in outside of their usefulness to him), and frankly they are far more interesting characters.
