shogun warriors
Shogun Warriors was a short-lived Marvel comic series featuring licensed Japanese super robots as part of the Marvel superhero universe. The comic series focused on three robots in particular - Raideen (renamed Raydeen), Combattler V (renamed Combattra), and Danguard Ace (renamed Dangard Ace). The three robots were piloted by new original characters and the combiners were changed from multi-pilot units to single-pilot.
The comic series was an extension of Mattel's late 70s/early 80s toyline of the same name, which featured imported Japanese mecha toys from assorted anime and tokusatsu series, as well as some kaiju. Apart from the robots listed above and some Super Sentai toys, the following were featured exclusively in the toyline.
