So who remembers this fun little show?

I do. Only vaguely, but what memories I do have are good. I remember that one episode where Ace McCloud had to combine the modular parts of his air and space suits together into one super-suit pretty well.

I remember the cartoon show way more than the comics

One of the earliest cartoon I saw as kid.
Must be the reason why I am a /m/an.
My father made me watch it as part of my indoctrination into mecha.
"MAN AND MACHINE - POWER EXTREME" was practically our catchphrase.

>Late 80s Western Robot Wars:
Should also include Mighty Orbots.
Also, why limit it to late 80s? (especially since some of your entries are from the 90s and early 2000s.)
Some other possible entries:
Bionic Six (if you're going to include other human-sized units)
Megas XLR
Sym-Bionic Titan
Maxx Steele's Robo-Force
Power Masters (the other one, not the Transformers)
Battletech TAS

The main three guys and their first three machines are the best.
I'm kinda on the fence on train-tracks-all-over-body guy.
Worst guy is lying-on-my-stomach guy.
>>14663776
Yep. But I only remember the sky-Guy's name after all these decades: Ace McCloud.

I imagine a little boy and his dad walking home from school and shouting as they got home.
"MAN AND MACHINE! POWER EXTREME!"
There was also the inhumanoids. Their suits were pretty rad.

Didn't Busou Shinki essentially use the idea of the Centurions toyline to add crap to a figure to make it more armored?
