*Crosses fingers* Please let Crunchyroll and/or Funimation Simiulcast it.

It likely won't, given Gyrozetter nor Drive Head were picked up.

It's a kids anime that's not based on a video game with kid-adult appeal, so FUNimation certainly wouldn't be interested in it. Crunchyroll would be more ideal because they license anything. However, because the anime solely exists to promote a toy line (which so far hasn't been released anywhere in the West, and there still aren't any plans to do so), it unfortunately most likely won't get simulcasted at all outside of Japan. Unless they wave the white flag, the Japanese licensor would much rather wait for foreign companies to come at them, license the whole franchise and get those sweet, sweet, potential big bucks from big-scale foreign releases (i.e. the show airing in the US on, say, Disney X-D, while the toy line gets released at retailers nationwide), then for Crunchyroll to take off with just the streaming rights for the anime (and therefore the Japanese licensor only gets small bucks from the foreign streams that only a small amount of people are gonna bother watching), while the other rights just sit there.
So I'd say be prepared to watch it raw (fansubbers don't care about kids anime for the most part). It's highly likely that Crunchyroll will skip simulcasting it for the reasons stated above. Heybot was lucky to get simulcasted, most likely because the Japanese licensor believed that the franchise's absurd, gag-based style wouldn't attract potential buyers (that would give it a big-scale release, btw) at all in the West. And they were right.

Dat cast! Not my cup of tea, but this is how you get people to watch your show.
