Probably the best example that almost everyone on the list has seen of the type
of show would be Voltron, particularly the lion one (forgot what the original
Japanese name was). Of course, Voltron was still missing some ingredients that
usually popped up in the shows of the genre. Most particularly, I don't recall
a "genius scientist", who was almost always the one who had invented the
robot(s) in the various Japanese mecha anime. That's probably why neither
Voltron series provided an upgrade midway through.
