"Freely tricky!! Engine Toripter!"
Toripter's Soul Form
Engine Toripter (炎神トリプター Enjin Toriputā) is Go-on Gold's partner, a red /gold hybrid of a chicken (niwatori) and a helicopter with a lively prankster personality who is a master in aerial dogfights while ending his sentences with "Bata Bata Bata!" (バタバタバタ！ "Bata Bata Bata!") (an onomatopoeia of a helicopter's rotor blades whirring). He is one of the two Wing Clan Engines who arrived to the Human World before Speedor and the others. With his rotor blades, He can perform the Toripter Patriot (トリプターパタリオット Toriputā Patariotto), firing a endless supply of bullets from his turrets. He is split into two items when in storage, an Engine Cast and the number 7 Engine Soul. He is part of a pair with Engine Jetras. He can serve as an auxiliary attack arm for Engine-O and serves a similar function for Engine Gattai SeiKuu-O. To form Engine-O G9 He connects to Engine-O's right shoulder.
Gender Issue
Toripter's gender has been a source of confusion. Some believed Toripter was female because the character was voiced by Shizuka Ishikawa, a female voice actor. The question was laid to rest in Episode 38; Shower Banki's attack affected only the male characters, including the Engines. The only Engine not affected by Shower Banki was Bear RV, which would confirm that Toripter is, in fact, male. So, it could be that Toripter that he might be younger. In addition on episode 41, he said "I'm just like your older brother.." to Chibi.
Trivia
- He is the second animal helicopter hybrid after Karakuri Giant Tenkuujin.
