Jep, that's the classical "combination" animation.

Central mecha flies in the air and then all the components fly up as well and attach to the central mecha (each component gets its own close up shot)

Power Rangers did that and everyone else started imitating that afterwards. The combination animations of the transformer cartoons are all like that as well.
