 The basic premise of the plot in Dancougar is not different from any "regular" mecha show from earlier times: the extraterrestial Muge Zorbados Empire, led by Emperor Muge, has set its sights on Earth as a new target for its interstellar campaign of conquest. Muge's soldiers, thanks to their superior technology, quickly obliterate the regular troops from Earth, but resistance movements throughout the world push back against a total submission.

 That's when the four main characters and members of the military (Shinobu Fujiwara, Sara Yuki, Masato Shikibu and Ryo Shiba) step in. Over time (Shinobu being the first and Ryo the last) they're recruited in the 獣戦機隊 (*juu-senki-tai*, often translated as *Cyber Beast Force*), a special unit located in Japan (what a surprise!), led by General Ross Igor and Prof.Kotaro Hazuki. They're then given specialized battle machines designed by Hazuki himself (Eagle Fighter, a fighter jet; Black Cougar, a medium armored tank; Land Liger, a tank similar to Black Cougar but with different armament; Big Moth, a heavy tank) and asked to assist the resistance force around the world.
 
 Being a mecha show, these machines aren't exactly what they seem. "Strong" feelings from their pilots (rage, basically) they can trigger a special circuit and transform them into the animal they take the name from. So the Eagle Fighter gets an aura and can cut through enemies like a blade, the Black Cougar and the Land Liger turn into (who could've guessed) a cougar and a liger, and the Big Moth, contrary to public expectations, does *not* turn into a giant moth, but instead a mam*moth*.
