* The commentary in this article is based on "ZYURANGER," which began airing in Japan in 1992.

In order to form a dyno tanker, we will deform the guardians. Triceratops and Saber Tiger store limbs and tails in the main body, and deploy the joint recesses that were covered. At this time, do not forget to turn the saber tiger's fang upward.
Protective beasts Putilanodon, which constitutes the chest, folds both wings with their heads facing forward.

Zyumanmoth, the guardian beast that makes up the shoulders, back, and arms of Dinotanker, is equipped with the most complex transformation ver. A.N.I.M.E. out of the five. Remove the head, open the cover on the back, and unfold the hind legs and torso. The back cover part, which was attached for the first time to SOUL OF CHOGOKIN, is designed to be folded thinly and stored inside the shoulder armor. Split the torso of Zyumanmoth into two and it's ready to combine.

The Tyrannosaurus, which becomes the torso after combination, has a slightly different leg ver. A.N.I.M.E. in SOUL OF CHOGOKIN. When you open the shin parts and move the knee covers to the thighs, the convex joint parts are exposed in tandem. Lower your hips, place your tail on the ground, take out the Beast Tank Cannon from your chest, and slide your thighs outward. This sliding mechanism is uniquely installed to improve the appearance of the Dino Tanker form.

Attach 4 guardian beasts to Tyrannosaurus, Pteranodon on the back, and 2 cannons of the Beast Tank Cannon on the arm, and the Dino Tanker is completed! The presence of the SOUL OF CHOGOKIN Edition Dyno Tanker is truly a masterpiece. The composition in which all the guardian beasts are facing forward also inflates the rushing power and strength of a tank.

Although it is just before the main Robo form, there are many fans in the Dino Tanker, which is full of dynamics and boldness unique to the combined Robo. As introduced in the first part review, I want you to fully enjoy the mystery of coalescence and deformation in the SOUL OF CHOGOKIN, which is a high-end model that uses die-cast material and is plated and painted in detail to the guardian beasts. ..

※ It is a display model. I can not run.
※ The image "Soul EFFECT EXPLOSION Red Ver." Is sold separately.

Union! Dyno mission!
The Dyno Tanker stands up and the MEGAZORD is awakening now!

As shown in the image above, you can reproduce the image of getting up in the play during the transformation (the effect of changing the viewpoint from the cockpit at this time is wonderful!), But for the transformation into a MEGAZORD as a toy There are several steps to fix the shape after merging, such as locking the folded tail, deploying the heel parts of both legs, and taking out the toy parts inside Pteranodon. Please refer to the instruction manual so that the deformation does not collapse.

After MEGAZORD stands upright, an exciting sequence from the movie is recreated. The transformation gimmicks unique to Daizyujin, such as the muscular chest created by the combination of the Pteranodon, the rotating head storage ver. A.N.I.M.E. of the Tyrannosaurus, and ver. A.N.I.M.E. MEGAZORD of MEGAZORD that unfolds, will excite fans. The DX version was also very well-made, but anyone will be moved by the way MEGAZORD slowly awakens, with a sense of weight unique to SOUL OF CHOGOKIN.

Activate! MEGAZORD!

The design concept of the MEGAZORD, which combines the fun of transforming and coalescing with the massive beauty, is still very wonderful. SOUL OF CHOGOKIN, while respecting the image of the image, the lines of the shoulders and legs are slightly adjusted so that they look three-dimensional.

Super Legend · Thunder Striking! It is!

Although it is a MEGAZORD that gives an overwhelming sense of "god" just by standing, the SOUL OF CHOGOKIN also emphasizes the reproduction of actions after coalescence. The biggest feature is the movable elbow joint, which enables various poses like images. In addition, it is very effective that the hip movement during Tyrannosaurus lives as it is even after coalescence. In addition to the pose of stepping forward on the legs, the side parts of the waist are movable, realizing a beautiful "H-shaped standing".
