Although it's set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, the three Shogun Warriors were licensed from the eponymous Creator/{{Mattel}} toyline (and the three toys were, in turn, based on three unrelated anime series by Creator/ToeiAnimation, Creator/LeijiMatsumoto and Tohokushinsha).

* BehemothBattle: ''Shogun Warriors'' is built on this trope. Almost every confrontation involves the robots fighting an equally huge menace. There are a handful of scenes where the pilots face danger while outside their robots, but they're very much the exception.

With that in mind, we've tried to keep to the original terminology and only used those more modern terms in trope names and link text.
