This article is about a giant robo in Choshinsei Flashman. |
Flash King (フラッシュキング Furasshu Kingu) is the main Giant Robo of the Flashmen in Choshinsei Flashman.
Overview[]
Flash King is formed when the command "Combine! Flash Cross!" (合体! フラッシュクロス Gattai Furasshu Kurosu) is given. Its main weapon is the Cosmo Sword (コズモソード Kozumo Sōdo) which is deployed from the left "fender" of the Star Condor. Other weapons include the King Shield (キングシールド Kingu Shīrudo) formed from the AWACS radar of Jet Seeker, the King Missiles (キングミサイル Kingu Misairu) fired from the hatch in its stomach, the King Knuckles (キングナックル Kingu Nakkuru) rocket punch, and the King Beam (キングビーム Kingu Bīmu) fired from the jewel in its chest. Flash King's finisher is the Super Cosmo Flash (スーパーコズモフラッシュ Sūpā Kozumo Furasshu) where after energizing the Cosmo Sword with energy from its forehead jewel, Flash King performs a jumping somersault slash. It was temporarily destroyed in episode 15 when the monster The Zukonda caught it in a suicide attack but returned in episode 20 to help the Titan Boy before it could be destroyed by The Buruzas.

Gokaiger[]
When GokaiOh and Gosei Great faced the Black Cross Colossus, the mecha of the first 33 Super Sentai, including Flash King which possibly manifested from a toy version like DaiDenzin and the Variblune, appeared to back them up. When the Black Cross Colossus summoned several giant villains to oppose them, Flash King fought alongside Battle Fever Robo, Dyna Robo, and DaiBouken to destroy Hades God Ifrit. After all the giant villains were destroyed, all 35 mecha weakened Black Cross Colossus with a combined attack before GokaiOh combined with the Variblune to become Goren GokaiOh which destroyed the Black Cross Colossus with the Gokai Hurricane: Cassiopeia finisher. With the battle won, the 33 past Super Sentai mecha vanished. TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

Through the powers of the Phantom Ranger Keys, the Gokaigers can re-create and summon the Greater Power of any Super Sentai team in existence. In Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters vs. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Movie, the Phantom Ranger Keys reproduced the greater power of the Go-Busters, which allowed their respective mechas to transform to other previous Super Sentai mechas through Megazord keys. Hiromu on board CB-01 used his Megazord key to transform Go-Buster Ace into Flash King.
Notes[]
- Flash King is the first combining mecha to have a unified cockpit.
- Flash King is featured as #98 in the 1986 archive compilation video Toei 100 Great Heroes Super Fight.
