* FranchiseKiller: Although not because of bad ratings. Rather, it was because Toei was developing another show at the time, ''[[https://tokusatsu.fandom.com/wiki/Moero!!_Robocon Moero!! Robocon]]'' (a remake of ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganbare!!_Robocon Ganbare!! Robocon]]''), and ''Robotack'' was deemed to have similar of a premise to it. As such, rather than make another show in the same vein as ''Kabutack'' and ''Robotack'' and have two redundant shows competing with each other, Toei decided to end the Metal Heroes franchise on a high note.[[note]]Ironically, the final episode of this show [[TheHeroDies had the titular hero sacrificing his life.]] We're not kidding.[[/note]]Toei would later revive the franchise with the ''Space Sheriff'' revival films.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Apart from a DirectToVideo crossover movie with ''Kabutack'', the series only saw a release on VHS. It wasn't until 2018 when the entire series was uploaded to Toei's Youtube channel in it's entirety.

* CanonDiscontinuity: How Toei has treated ''Series/BRoboKabutack'' and this series as of late - while the series were listed in one of the ''Super Hero Taihen'' specials, said list also included ''Moerro!! Robocon'', which is definitely '''NOT''' a Metal Heroes series, so it was likely referring to series that had come out during the period of time that ''Kamen Rider'' was on hiatus[[note]]Prior to ''Series/KamenRiderKuuga'' airing, Metal Heroes had the place ''Kamen Rider'' would eventually have alongside ''Super Sentai'', with ''Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman'' being the last ''Super Sentai'' series to air alongside a ''Metal Hero'' series; ''Series/KyuKyuSentaiGoGoV'' aired by itself for the majority of it's run, up until the last few episodes, which saw it air alongside ''Kuuga''[[/note]]; later, ''[[Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiXSpaceSheriffSuperHeroTaisenZ Super Hero Taisen Z]]'' showed a list of the Metal Heroes series, with ''Kabutack'' and ''Robotack'' both being absent from said list; additionally, these 2 are the only series that have not received DVD re-releases.
