Early 90s mecha anime where the mecha was like Voltron in that each pilot controlled a portion of the mecha...
I'm trying to find an anime movie I watched when I was younger; I believe I first watched it in 90/91. 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

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

Voltes V is the movie I was looking for.
I found Combattler V on the page FuzzyBoots linked. It has similar art to, and is the precursor of, Voltes V.
An armada of horned humanoid aliens known as Boazanians invade Earth and launch their "beast fighters" all over the world, defeating most of the world's armed forces. The Boazanians first defeat from the hands of Super Electromagnetic Machine Voltes V brings the invaders to focus their attacks on Japan. Voltes V was designed by Professor Kentaro Gō (Doctor Ned Armstrong), his wife Professor Mitsuyo Gō (Doctor Mary Ann Armstrong) and their trusted colleague, Professor Hamaguchi (Doctor Richard Smith) and built by large scale construction effort backed by United Nations Earth Defense Force and General Oka (Commander Robinson). Voltes V is a robot composed of five "Volt Machines", and each are themselves formidable weapons. Each machine is piloted by Ken'ichi (Steve), Daijiro (Big Bert), and Hiyoshi (Little Jon): the three sons of Kentaro and Mitsuyo Gō, along with General Oka's daughter; Megumi (Jamie Robinson), and Ippei Mine (Mark Gordon), an orphan cowboy.
Now I'm looking for a modern translation or sub so I can experience it again.
