* FollowTheLeader: Being a SuperRobotGenre show, naturally it used ''Anime/MazingerZ'' as its template. However, later SuperRobotGenre shows that used the FiveManBand trope used ''Combattler-V'' as their template.

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros Alongside ''Anime/{{Raideen}}'', ''Combattler'' was involved in a very bizarre instance of the trope. Creator/MarvelComics had indirectly licensed the "Combatra" [sic] name and likeness via Creator/{{Mattel}}'s North American toyline, so their ''ComicBook/ShogunWarriors'' comic book series couldn't use any characters, plots or settings from the show and invented a whole new premise.
