Beast King: Go Lion was also more violent and was its own thing that came out in 1981. The vehicles were a completely different series and not as popular a follow up in the west. Power Rangers technically had their first giant robot in 1979 (Battle Fever J) but it was laiter (84/~85? Bioman or the one before it) they had their first multi vehicle combining giant robot. Not something packed in or turning into the thing carrying it. Its kind of a close call unless there was another series that was doing what Voltron did with its team controlling the various parts of the robot.

Voltron also had parts that were different colors before any of the Super Sentai. The boss in the trailer had the general color and scale setup more closer to Voltron than Power Rangers. I'm calling it a Voltron reference, unless they are each piloted by a goblin in powerranger-ish matching color outfit and do the same non practical group posing that would make Captain Ginu smile.
