1979 ad for The Shogun Warriors by Doug Moench and Herb Trimpe. I'm no expert in this but I think the giant robot characters all originated in different Japanese TV shows but then all featured in the one toy line when released in the US. Marvel.

DISAWOVED BY MARVEL: "Though appearing in Marvel Comics as a team circa 1979, Raydeen (Brave Raideen), Combatra (Chōdenji Robo Combattler V) and Danguard Ace (Wakusei Robo Danguard Ace) were the heroes of three separate cartoon/anime series in Japan. Licensed to Mattel for their toyline (a recurring them at Marvel in the 70s and 80s), each robot was given a pilot with a cool back story, all of whom have appeared sporadically in comics since. Not so the robots themselves, who were destroyed in an issue of Fantastic Four and never referenced again. I guess we’ll always have Red Ronin, though."
