Ho boy this is going to take a loooong time!!! Okay,
Magne Power was the Takara offering back in the 90's that featured a toy line, as well as an anime series, all in an attempt to revive the classic property and re-energize Microman to the public. I have to say some of the best toys came out of this line.
Sadly the success that Takara was trying to achieve never came about due to some poor marketing decisions & declining sales.
With that being said lets take a look at the first of a trio of Robotmen starting with Ace.
The Robotmen were based
on the Magnemo-11 toys which was first introduced with the Titans and Geeg line (Baron Karza and Force Commander). Magnemo is a unique system featuring a series of magnets to attach to the limbs of the figures in order to come up with different combinations in the design.

The figure itself is impressive, standing over six inches and sporting a type of Getta Robo look. If I were to hazard a guess I'd say this guy was the "Force Commander" of the group even though his colour scheme and aesthetics don't match (although the protrusions on his head might lean more towards Geeg).
Each Robotman came with four weapon attachments; a claw hand, a cannon, a giant blade/sword and a special unique weapon exclusive to the particular robot, in Ace's case this was a launcher attached to a chain like some sort of mace. The official designation is the Red Launching Morning Star.
Sadly unlike the Classics Robotman there is no cockpit for the pilot to interact with. Magnetic ports are included on the main limb attachments, three on the shoulders and two in the back.
Attachments:
When he's fully loaded things can get a little crazy.

According to his bio this is Arthur's main mech and his skill is speed and action.
