- Archive Panic: Running continously from 1982 to 1999, the Metal Hero franchise, though dwarfed by both Super Sentai and Kamen Rider, ended with a final total of 877 half-hour episodes which is nothing to shake a stick at. In addition, there are a good dozen or so films.
- Complete Monster: See here.
- Critic-Proof: B-Robo Kabutack and Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack get bashed a lot for the "kiddy" direction they went in, but while it's coventional wisdom that they killed the franchise, they actually scored higher ratings than the three seasons that preceded them.
- Evil Is Cool: The series has a hefty roster of badass and formidable villains. Reider, Mad Gallant, Queen Pandora and Mad Garbo being some examples.
- First Installment Wins: Space Sheriff Gavan is easily the most iconic and well-remembered of the series, and the only Metal Heroes show thus far to get a full-length theatrical movie nearly 30 years after it ended.
