** These CONVERTIBLE editions were the precursors to the TRANSFORMERS Line of TOY ROBOTS, but unlike the later products, it was not unusual for minor disassembling to be required to achieve the secondary form. ** There was even a ROBOT named MEGATRON in issue #18 of the comic, a name subsequently used multiple times for the leader of the evil Decepticons from TRANSFORMERS.

Wikipedia Notes;

** In 2010, Toynami revived the Shogun Warriors name with a new toy line, consisting of 24-inch (610 mm) Jumbo Machinder toys.

** The first two ROBOTS in this line are GoLion and Dairugger XV, both of which were adapted in the Western world as Voltron.

** The toys featured spring-loaded launcher weapons such as missiles, shuriken and battle axes. Some were able to launch their fists while the later die-cast versions also had the ability to transform into different shapes. Raydeen, for example, could become a birdlike spaceship.

** The second form of the toy was not always functional, one example being Gaiking's GIANT SKULL, which was the head for Daiku Maryu, a SPACE FRAGON TOY, not released in the U.S.

** Several of the ANIME-Based TOYS from this line were seen in the 1980s as part of Jim Terry's Force Five series.

** A single MOVIE VERSION was edited from each series and sold on Home Video.

** These features aired on the cable network Showtime in 1981 under the name SHOGUN WARRIORS;
