What happens

Super Robot Mach Baron (スーパーロボット マッハバロン, Sūpā Robotto Mahha Baron) is a Japanese tokusatsu series that aired from October 7, 1974, to March 31, 1975. It was a sequel to Super Robot Red Baron. Unlike Super Robot Red Baron that was produced by Senkosha, this show was instead produced by Nihon Gendai Kikaku and broadcast on Nippon Television. In Taiwan, the series was adapted into an 86-minute feature film called The Iron Superman, which used footage from the original series as well as new footage of Hong Kong actors replacing the original Japanese cast not unlike Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. That movie was also released in Spain (under the title "Mazinger Z - El robot de las estrellas", even though it bore no relation to Mazinger Z) and Germany ("Roboter der Sterne"). In 1977, a third sequel series was produced called; Ganbaron. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
