For the Inspector's Associate, see FE-Line.

The children's FE-Line TV series is produced by the Giapan Television Network Corporation and has been running for the past several years. FE-Line is voiced by seiyū actress Akiko Yajima.

FE-Line, having spent an unknown number years as a stray, is taken in by the kindly Professor Yokoyama.  He and his robot-obsessed nephew, Kenjin, a.k.a. "Kenny" in the English-language dub, repair and upgrade her to a new model, rendered in a combination of live-action special effects and traditional cel anime. Her Inspector-related memory circuits, however, have apparently been damaged beyond restoration, which may explain why the series never crosses over with, or even alludes to, its parent program.

FE-Line's controversial new look

With the help of her new friends, FE-Line defends the Earth—mainly Tokyo—against over-sized terrestrial and giant extraterrestrial monsters, which she fights in her giant "Mega Neko" mode. Despite regularly saving the world, however, FE-Line must struggle to earn respect from ordinary people.
