Dai X actually IS one of those cheesy Japanese monsters!  He was designed by Go Nagai who's famous for coming up with manga's concept of human controlled mecha and is responsible for various anime series like Devilman.  Star Fleet is actually a dubbed and slightly edited version of X Bomber, which was the show's name in Japan.  More details on the site...  Brian May used Dai X for one of the sleeves of the various releases of his Star Fleet theme cover, incidentally.
