Hi

Does anyone know of a series that featured a group of spaceships traveling to an unknown destination that interlocked into the shape and mannerisms of a robot if and when trouble arose?

It wasn't a cartoon but puppetry I'm thinking.

Any help would be gratefully received

Possibly "Ekkusu bonbâ" (1980) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0307741/)

Couldn't be as simple as Voltron could it?
EDIT: or thunderbirds?
