« Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos »

Despite having a cartoon series to advertise the figures, the Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos (マシンロボ クロノスの大逆襲 Machine Robo: Cronos no Dai Gyakushū) toyline featured several televised CMs (commercial messages) to advertise its' wares.

These referred to the franchise but continued to be made using stop-motion animation of the figures transforming in diorama-style apocalyptic settings. Hidekatsu Shibata took over as narrator, with the Baikanfu advert featuring a line from Rom Stol voice actor Kazuhiko Inoue.
