Godannar anyone? The series is so full of classic super robot tropes, it feels like a love letter. Modern revamps are fun, but it's good to see some original works now and then. This show hit the right story and character beats and kept me engaged despite the fan service moments peppered throughout. Kind of hard to watch it in the same room as my wife.

I believe it. There were four moments of FS during the opening alone

Average? Outside of the time where Choryujin pushed a meteor through a space portal and showed up a few episodes later fossilized, the first half of the series was completely generic and dull. I know it was a MoTW show, but it was so by the books I'm surprised the show managed to even salvage itself...

This is half on and half off-topic, but are there any other notable combiner Super Robot toy franchises out there besides Super Sentai/Power Rangers?

Well, Transformers technically qualifies as Super Robot, and I've heard that Transformers GO! series in Japan has some pretty nice combiners...

There's Mugenbine, I don't know much about it, but ShockerCon can give you more info.

There's Transformers Go! like Matrix said. There is a Samurai Team and a Shinobi Team both are composed of 3 Autobots, and can form 3 different modes.

Some of the combinable SRW mechs have been released in Kit form, but I'm pretty sure that those lost the combination gimmick.

And there's a cute D-Style GaoGaiGar which does keep the transformation in SD scale.

I'm sure there are more, just none that I can remember right now.

I love the D-Style GaoGaiGar line. I already have GaoGaiGar, ChouRyuJin, and King J-Der.
I really hope Big Volfrogg is the next one...

Those look good, indeed, I'm still trying to find a place I can import from anywhere in East Asia (since importing from America is too expensive).

Interesting, I've always wanted to know more about GaoGaiGar and Brave mecha in general, but I get completely lost each time. They do have some nice robots though. And the D-style combines! I couldn't tell just by looking at them, that's pretty sweet!
