Rodem, Roporos, and Poseidon join Babel II against the evil Yomi!
Toei Animation's 39-episode series was based on the popular manga by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, first published in 1971. A seemingly ordinary Japanese schoolboy, discovers the truth that he is the reincarnation of an extraterrestrial being, and the inheritor of latent, but tremendous psychic powers — and the command of three familiars: Rodem, a shape-shifting panther, Roporos, a flying dinosaurian creature, and Poseidon, a titanic, ocean-dwelling robot. Together, they fight the fiendish forces of Yomi. The series was remade as a direct-to-video series in 1992, and as a 13-episode series in 2001. The original 1973 boasts the first theme song from vocalist, and king of anime singers, Ichiro Mizuki.

I've seen some of it, but unfortunately its age shows in the pacing of the episodes. I do love the premise, the OST is awesome, and I would have loved to see Yasuhiro Imagawa's version of it, as teased in the Giant Robo OVAs.
