The updated animation production will be enough, there's no need to follow the Mazinkaizer or Shin Getter route which basically discarded the Classic robots as soon as possible to introduce new designs so they could sell merchandise. If a studio doesn't think a single character would be popular enough then make it a crossover, they cram tons of different robots into the SRW's game so putting a handful into a Anime shouldn't be that much more difficult. Imagine new OVA's or anime's featuring the Nagahama trio (Voltes, Combattler, and Daimos) or the Sunrise trio of Daitarn, Zambot, and Daioja etc. The classic designs still hold up they just need modern production skills, no need to re-imagine them all sharp and pointy and almost soulless designs.
I guess we can't help it. More designs means more toys to sell.
The old-school designs will always have a market, then the re-imagined, or new designs are for the younger fans.
In regards to boobs, Godannar is probably half mecha, half fanservice.
By the way, if they to re-imagine something, how about using Dancouga Nova?
