I have been trying to find the name of a couple of shows I used to watch when I was a kid. As far as I know they are from the 80s.

Here is a description (or what I can remember) and lets see if anyone can help

1. I think was anime and was somewhat gundamwing-esqe but not. All I can remember was that the guy who had to pilot the big robot had to train and in training had to jump from the top of the robot and like dive into a rock and blow it up from the inside (his teacher was a wizard-like character). (Might have been a movie instead of a TV show)

2. Another anime. The cast of this one was almost entirely robots but was more of a pokemon type show.

I' ve been trying to remember forever but never have come across any leads to the name of these shows.
