<p>I have watched all the Mobile Suit Gundam series and many other transforming robot genre series, but I want to know which is the first series that started the transforming/morphing mobile suit/robot genre in anime.</p>

<p>Here, transforming/morphing is changing from aircraft/armour to humanoid/creature form or any other forms.</p>

Super robots and morphing mobile suit are different fwik. If OP expands this question I cannot see a reason to close or mark as duplicate.
