I thought that was pretty cool.
I used to love watching that Japanese puppet show where each character was a vehicle, and they made up the feet, body and head of a giant robot. This was probably fifteen years before Power Rangers.
It was this:

ITV used to show it Sunday lunchtimes. I also remember running up to my bedroom and crying when Galaxy Force ended. How funny.

That was rebranded as StarFleet in the UK
With added Brian May

Thanks for that. Core memories unlocked.

The Brian May version is a cover (often mistaken for the original theme).
Paul Bliss, who played keyboards with the Moody Blues and The Hollies, did the original music to Star Fleet. There's an obscure release of all his music for the show available (I've been part of Star Fleet/X Bomber fandom for many years, used to be active on https://xbomber.co.uk/forum/ years ago).

There's a really good remix/sample project by Datashat out there somewhere too...
..But not, apparently, on his youtube page...
*Searching my Music folder*
I have it as:
Datashat佃䵍 - [2006] reworkings of Paul Bliss - Star Fleet end credits theme
Try that in your soulseekQt

The Starfleet DVD box set is brilliant, seek it out on ebay or CEX. I also have The Brian May Starfleet Project LP, because I am cool like that.
There are about 100,000,000 Japanese shows where characters/vehicles combine to form a giant warrior robot, if that's your jam.
