''[[Shippu Iron Leaguer]]'' (''Whirlwind! Iron Leaguer''') is a 1993 shonen sport anime series created by Sunrise. [[No Export for You|Not really well known in the west.]] The anime combines mecha genre and sports together initially in the form of ''good vs cheater'' type of story. The series is debutted in ''[[Super Robot Wars NEO]]'' for Wii.
 
In the future, mankind has developed a multi-sport tournament known as ''Iron League,'' using living robots as the players instead of humans. The competition is very popular. However, its huge support comes from ''Dark Organization'', the organization that produces cheating Iron Leaguers that use dirty and violence playing methods in games as a sure ticket for fame and popularity. [[Blood Sport|While the sport community has been turned into a dangerous and bloody stadium,]] ''Silver Castle,'' a team with the lowest winning rate, tries to prove the true sportmanship by playing sports by their original rules without any cheating or violence. The team's fate as well as the tide of the Iron League is changed when two Iron Leaguers, Mach Windy, an ex-Dark Prince FC's ace striker and Magnum Ace, a mysterious but skillful sportman, join the Silver Castle, and gradually lead the team to its forgotten glory. However things are more than just normal sport; as the story goes on, it is revealed that the Iron League itself is a masquerade for something more sinister from behind.
