 Mazinger Z
Mazinger Z (?????Z or ?????·???), also known as Tranzor Z, is the name of a manga by artist Go Nagai, first published in Japan in 1972, and turned into a long-running anime television series later in the same year.
Mazinger Z ("Majinga Zetto" in Japanese) is named and designed after the Japanese concept of majin (particularly Daimajin), due to his demon-like appearance; while its pronunciation and katakana writing also suggests the word "machine".
The Mazinger Z anime ran to a total of 92 TV episodes from 1972 to 1974, and culminated in the defeat of the original robot and the immediate introduction of its successor, Great Mazinger, which was basically the same design with additional red wings and a big V-shaped emblem on its chest.

TranZor Z, he explained, had detachable rocket fists, a boomerang breast plate, atomic hurricane breath which disintegrated the enemy, a flying scrambler which attached wings to the robot, and laser rays emanating from its finger tips and eyes.
The humans were capable of being injured or kidnapped, and their hardware was prone to damage and breakdown, but TranZor Z himself was so invulnerable that he became a dullard very early on.
TranZor Z's best moments were such oddball vignettes as having one of Demon's henchmen being haunted by the "ghosts" of all the Doom Machines destroyed by TranZor Z. And although conceived in comic-opera terms, Demon's lieutenants were fascinating.

 Mazinger Z vs. Devilman - Movie Reviews Blog
Mazinger Z vs. Devilman is a film I’d wanted to see for some time, but now that I’ve finally gotten my hands on it, I must say, I was fairly under whelmed.
I’m a sucker for crossovers, and just seeing Devilman interact with Tranzor Z was enough to get a sense of satisfaction out of me. There is also a sweet moment where they play the Devilman theme song as he rushes into battle which invoked an “Alright!” out of me, since I love that theme song.
Mazinger Z vs. Devilman is short, about 45 minutes long, and I’m not sure whether that’s a *good* thing or not.
