Although none of the three robot formations from Getter Robo (1974) ever made it to Mattel's phenomenal Shogun Warriors toy collection in America, the three formations from this sequel series did.

The #3 bad guy in the series in Japan was named "Hitler", and was an alien caricature of Adolf Hitler with the brown Nazi-esque uniform and small mustache. He was differentiated by a pair of horns protruding from his head.
