Titan Maximum

I thought it was but upon futher investigation I now see that it is simply a comedic mecha series. It contains parodies within some episodes but not parody-elements consistantly throughout the series therefor it is not a parody.

No, a parody generally knows what it's talking about. Parodies, good ones, tend to really know their subject matter, and can make fun of it or point out flaws in it.

Titan Maximum looks like someone vaguely remembered Voltron and tried to make an entire show making fun of those memories. Nevermind that Voltron absolutely #### compared to other super robot shows (Getter Robo), there's only 5 real jokes in the show. Groin shots, Sasha sleeping with whatever moves, Palmer being a jerk, the Robot Chicken Nerd getting another role (why?!) and Gibbs flipping people off. Of those 5 jokes, only one can be considered parodying a trope (the hot blooded leader type who Palmer is making fun of) and the rest are just jokes within the show. If you look at an actual mecha parody like say, Godannar or Dai-Guard, there's a lot of jokes about the medium, about little overlooked details, etc, all.

Basically, Titan Maximum is the Epic Movie of mecha parodies, IE: a parody only on the most surface elements.
