==Story==
Doctor Kazuki, who perceived of an invasion of Earth by the Izar people builds a robot based on the science of magnetism and sphere joint theory. Undergoing a dangerous augmentation process, Doctor Kazuki's daughter Mai becomes the pilot of "Mighty" or "Magnetman Minus". Takeru Hojo becomes the pilot of "Plyzer" or "Magnetman Plus". The pilots would hold each other and then physically transform their joint bodies in a metallic plate locking itself on the Gakeen (Short for "Gathering Keen") robot's frame thus enabling the [[super robot]] to move and fight.

==Concept==
Gakeen became one of the many super robot series to appear after the seminal works such as ''[[Mazinger]]'' and ''[[Getter Robo]]'' opened the floodgates to the genre. The robot was notable for its creative weaponry systems such as cutting fists, Gakeen fists, steel claws, bladed foot. Other specialties include magnetic onslaught, magnetic draw, arm cutter, laser beams, atomic hurricane. The show further extended the transformation into very long complex sequences that would become trendy for similar shows to follow.

==Merchandise==
[[Takara]] released the rare Robotman Gakeen in 1976. The toy was released as part of the Robotman Series, which was originally intended to be the bridge between [[Microman]] and Henshin Cyborg series to form a larger toy tie-in project called Victory Series. When Henshin Cyborg line was terminated in 1974 however, there was no longer a reason for keeping the Victory Series and Robotman then became part of Microman line.<ref>GaKeen Toys.
