According to Wikipedia, the 13-episode series was never released on DVD. It ended early
due to a lawsuit between the show's creators and toymaker Tonka, who
accused them of basing the cartoon on their GoBots franchise (which
was adapted from Bandai's Machine Robo line). The robot depicted in
the show was virtually identical to the robot in the anime for
Bandai's Godmars toy, although the colors were changed.
This may have affected its release.
According to a rather informative review here, poor ratings were its downfall, though its release in other markets on VHS developed a small cult following. T M S Entertainment, Inc./M G M/U A Entertainment Company is the copyright holder according to US Copyright office. If you have access to a VCR, there are a couple of libraries in the US that apparently have it in their collections (set of 13 tapes). You might be able to get your local library to do an inter-library loan for you.
