Early 90s mecha anime
I'm trying to find an anime movie I watched when I was younger. The story revolved around the recruitment and training of a group that would pilot a mecha that was similar to Voltron in that each pilot controlled a portion of the mecha that would merge into a bigger mecha. Points that I remember:
- Started on earth
- program was government funded
- one of the pilots was related to the creator of the program, I think a female
- Mecha had chain weapon and a sword that was summoned from it's superhero-like chest icon. Killing blow was an m or w shape
- Ended with father/creator of mecha? being kidnapped by the aliens and used as human shield to deter attack on alien vessel
- I believe I first watched it in 90/91

You might take a look through listchallenges.com/125-great-giant-robot-mecha-anime and see if any of those look familiar.

Thanks FuzzyBoots.
Voltes V is the movie I was looking for.
I found Combattler V on the page you linked. It has similar art to, and is the precursor of, Voltes V.
Now I'm looking for a modern translation or sub so I can experience it again.
