Let's try this again.
It was about a kid (late teens to early 20's) who would get inside a huge robot and would command him from there. The robot's head was the control room.
He would fight other robots that were evil. He had a girl friend who also commanded her own fighting robot but her robot was pink. I'm thinking this show was Japanese. I saw this cartoon when I was like 5 or 6 years old. This would have been during the mid-80's.
I would like to find out the name of this show. Thanks.
Additional Details
This show IS NOT Voltron. It was just one kid that controlled the entire robot. Voltron was several people.
And the robot was skinnier and not so complex as Voltron, Gundam, or Mazinger Z.

I was thinking of "Goldorak", but that girlfriend with the pink bot ruins it :)

Mazinger Z (ãã¸ã³ã¬ã¼Z or ãã¸ã³ã¬ã¼ã»ã¼ãã), also known as Tranzor Z, and the variant spelling Mazinga (a japanese pun on "Demon-God"), is the name of a manga by artist Go Nagai, first published in Japan in 1972, and turned into a long-running anime television series later in the same year. The series lasted for 92 episodes, making it the longest running anime mecha series in the genre. It remains the stepping stone of the Super Robot anime genre and its influence is still felt today. The opening theme, also titled Mazinger Z, is sung by Ichiro Mizuki.
Mazinger Z was also the first show to feature a female robot (Aphrodite A, which was piloted by Sayaka Yumi and is remembered for its missile-launching breasts), and a comic-relief robot made of spare parts and garbage named Boss Borot (which ended up suffering severe damage in nearly all of his appearances), after its pilot, brash yet simpleminded gang leader, Boss.

Was is TranZor Z (1984-1985) ?

Description:
A classic Japanimation show, the dubbed TranZor Z had an intricate storyline and detailed battle scenes typical of Japanese cartoons. In a nutshell, TranZor Z is a giant super-robot created by Professor Wells. As a catalyst to the show's first episode, Wells' nemesis Dr. Demon destroys Wells and his house. During his final moments, Wells introduces his grandson Tommy to TranZor Z, a machine that will help combat Demon's world-destroying Machine Beasts.
The show follows Tommy's mastering of TranZor Z and, with the help of friend Jessica and her robot Aphrodite-A, each episode features another series of battles between Tommy and Co. and Dr. Demon's brutal machines.

You sure it was a cartoon and not Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot?
Battle of the Planets perhaps?
