Are there any Japanese robot toylines that aren't Transformers, Chogokin-related, Gundam-related, or Sentai?

The only one I can think of is Mugenbine.
>>
Mugenbine is under Machine Robo, Machine Robo is the counterpart to Transformers. So yea, they are kinda like transformers.
>>
The Robot Damashii line covers a wide-range of mecha shows beyond Gundam. Metal Armor Dragonar, Aura Battler Dunbine, and Cross Ange are all non-Gundam mecha series that have gotten serious attention recently in RD form.

Code Geass too, which has the majority ofits mecha between RDs and the In Action! Offshoot line

Frame Robo, Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkallion and Macross. Of the things that are going in some form or another right now.

I believe Machine Robo Mugenbine is pretty much abandoned right now since the Machine Robo rights seems to have been returned to Production Reed.

The past ofcourse has a lot more things.

Maybe I should have been more specific. I'm looking for a Japanese robot toy series that isn't based on a mecha anime, is more aimed at children, but isn't transformers, chogokin or sentai.

Like.... The closest thing I can think of is Diaclone. Something with that vibe. I know the reboot is coming, but I figure there might be something like that that is kinda toyetic but current.

If mugenbine exists, maybe something like that does?

Takaratomy has been making gimmick toylines, one of them are remote controlled robots.

When these toylines become hits and popular enough, they eventually receive anime adaptions too. Examples are Zoids are B-daman Bakugaiden.

>>5202309
The omnibot battroborg toys>>5202298
were brought over to the west with english packaging. You can find them on amazon. They may eventually bring over >>5202302 too.

Got mine in the mail just now, I only had enough for one though. I regret passing on the Kuratas model that probably won't be reissued nor released stateside if Takara Tomy brings it over

>>5202310
Usually companies invest in cartoons to air alongside their new toylines

Most macross stuff is transformable if that wasn't obvious

>>5205439

Well most variable fighters are designed by humans in the show until plus and even then it doesn't show much. You want alien check out frontier.

Since when are we trying to cater to normies? To them everything is a transformers knockoff.
>>
>>5202248
Actually there are a few.

Webdiver, Tobot, Asoblocks could be considered a Mech line, Biklons, Mecard.

Granted, most of those are Korean based, but they all have some sort of toy and/or cartoon line for kids.

No. Webdiver is from Takara toys.

Keybots by Bandai. Like Mugenbine the stand alone toy was okay, but combined they're great!
I own at least 2 of each one.
