Looking for an anime where the main protagonist wears a white top and a shorts, has a sword on his back with a red grip and summons a robot or some kind of a suit by using a "COMMA" shaped locket wherein the boy stands on a golden dragon..he has a fat short dark guy as his sidekick who has a mechanical robot too.

I watched this like 7 years back.

    Of too a good start with some good plot details and when you watched it. Do you remember if it was airing live when you watched it or re-runs? Was the language in English or Japanese? Take a look at this guide to help us get a better idea of the story. – Edlothiad Dec 4 '17 at 10:05
  • Was it definitely robots? Akatsuki no yona sounds similar with dragons & lockets – Xen2050 Dec 4 '17 at 12:49

    comma shaped things are usually magatama though they crop up in all sorts of anime – thrig Dec 4 '17 at 15:15
  • Did he wear the suit or did it fight on his behalf? – Valorum Dec 4 '17 at 18:35
  • @Xen2050 Akatsuki no yona does not have robots – riccs_0x Dec 4 '17 at 21:20

The series is Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru. The boy in white is the title character, Wataru - since he was wearing shorts, you must have seen Cho Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru, the last sequel series from 1997. Here's his outfit in the Cho Wataru series, and the robot he summons, Ryujinmaru:

By the way, the comma-shaped item he wears is actually shaped like a magatama, a type of curved bead that was a cultural tradition in Japan thousands of years ago.

His stocky companion is Shibaraku, who, like many of the characters in the Wataru series, has his own robot - Senjinmaru:
