Robocop, the missing US toku ???

I just read on wikipedia that Robocop was influnced by Space Sheriff Gavan. When u think about it, he looks exactly like any other Henshin hero except that he doesn't transform but is instead stuck in that form. He is completely covered with the exception of his mouth. Even when they shoot at him, sparks come out.
He also mostly fights organizations or organized crime (like shocker or any of those alien space empires). I always thought metal heros were Robocop rip-offs since they started in the 80s as did the movie until i read about how Gavan came first and it was the other way around.
 
I don't really think Robocop as toku, maybe the suit designers were Gavan fans or saw a pic and like the design. But the favor was returned I think, wasn't Janperson or a similar show based on Robocop design?
