Bugging me for years. I saw an anime in the early 80's (I assume it was from
around then, since I watched it on a VHS tape) that featured a war between a
group of pilots, maybe 3 or 4, that could join into 1 giant robot. This robot
had a red head with red spikes kind of like the Statue of Liberty. The bad
guys had giant robots that could join together too to form 1 giant super
robot, and there were maybe 6 of them.

I think it was feature length but possibly several episodes of a series put
together. Also it seemed to me to not be childish. It wasn't adult but PG-ish.
I recall it being sort of dark and sinister and violent. Please help me. Oh,
and it wasn't Voltron or anything obvious like that.

You're probably looking for **Getter Robo G**. There's several TV series and
movies based on this iteration of Getter. The movies are all cross-overs with
other Go Nagai mecha franchises.

All from the 70's.
