Giant Robo

This article is about a/an list of mecha robos in the Super Sentai series.

Toeifile-robot — The main 33 robos as of Gokaiger, along with the Variblune and Sky Ace of *Himitsu Sentai Goranger and* J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai.

In this category are the Giant Robo listed in the order they appear as well as alphabeticaly (in the alphabetized category list below).

Normally, when the Sentai Team defeats the monster of the week, the defeated foe then revives as a gigantic version of itself. To combat this, the Sentai summon their mecha and combine them to level the playing field. The concept started in Sentai with the Marvel Comics co-production, Battle Fever J, marking the start of the Super Sentai revival following on from Toei and Marvel's first joint-show, Spider-Man, which featured the titular hero fight monsters with his own giant robot. Shotaro Ishinomori's initial Sentai series, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, lacked such a feature, with monsters defeated on ground, though they possessed mecha in the form of "flying fortresses". Following the initial Robo in Battle Fever J, the subsequent series Denziman introduced a Robo which transformed from vehicle to humanoid, with Sun Vulcan then featuring a Robo which combined from two individual mecha. Years later, Maskman was the first to feature a Robo combined from mecha belong to each individual member, totalling five, marking the standard of the initial primary Robo which is recognized today.

A Giant Robo (巨大ロボ, Kyodai Robo), alternatively termed Super Robo (スーパーロボ, Sūpā Robo) Super Sentai World or Sentai Robo (戦隊ロボ, Sentai Robo) Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, is the combination of multiple mecha. In general, the red leader has a smaller humanoid mecha of his own that gets bigger when combined with his teammates' vehicle/animal only mecha. Most Giant Robos have a special sword, and some have more combinations with other mecha. Often, they have the words "Robo", "Oh" (Japanese for King) or "Jin" (Japanese for Man or God, depending on character) in their names to symbolize their power.

Throughout the series, the Sentai will often add more mecha to their arsenal. Some are humanoid mecha of their own, while many others are support units that form weapons for other mecha.

As of Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters vs. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Movie, Giant Robos are referred to with the umbrella term 'Megazords", a term originating from Power Rangers. This is perhaps to differentiate the term Giant Robo from Toei's 1967 tokusatsu hero Giant Robo (ジャイアントロボ Jaianto Robo).
