Was that the one with the annoying robot in our version
That was there to cover over the Japanese bits where they had rape and violent slaughter.

Battle of the Planets- that was it.

Do you remember a similar one
The Space Sentinels? Not sure if that was Japanese or American but it also had a cute robot explaining the plot. And a strangely threatening floating head that used to represent the computer and occasionally go wrong in such a way as they ended up fighting it.
