- "Rumbling Fusion! DaiBouken!"
- ―Combination announcement[src]
Rumbling Fusion DaiBouken (轟轟合体ダイボウケン Gōgō Gattai DaiBōken, Rumbling Fusion Great Adventurer) is the primary Giant Robo of the Boukengers, formed by combining the five main GoGo Vehicles (ゴーゴービークル Gōgō Bīkuru) in the Bouken Formation (ボウケンフォーメーション Bōken Fōmēshon).
Overview[]
DaiBouken is armed with the Go Scooper (ゴースコッパー Gō Sukoppā) shovel, which it can use to lift up whole sections of the ground to throw giant opponents off their feet or bury them in mounds of excavated dirt; and the Go Picker (ゴーピッカー Gō Pikkā) pickaxe, which it can use to send an offensive shockwave racing across the ground. As GoGo Dump's manipulators form its legs, Daibouken can use its feet to grab an object the size of itself and then throw it aside while it's engine enables it to channel and harness the power of a collected precious for its own use. To finish off an opponent, it combines the Go Scooper and Picker into the GoGo Sword (轟轟剣 Gōgō Ken) which it then charges with power in its Adventure Drive (アドベンチャードライブ Adobenchā Doraibu), where DaiBouken creates the Boukenger symbol by spinning the sword in front of it, then finally doing a sword slash. A series of pistons on each leg allows DaiBouken to deliver a blow of any kind with greater force when activated. It can also jump onto SirenBuilder's shoulders, propelling into the air for Flying Adventure Drive (フライングアドベンチャードライブ Furaingu Adobenchā Doraibu), which was seen in Task 32.

Gokaiger[]
199 Hero Great Battle[]
When GokaiOh and Gosei Great faced the Black Cross Colossus, the mecha of the first 33 Super Sentai, including DaiBouken 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, DaiBouken fought alongside Battle Fever Robo, Dyna Robo, and Flash King 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
Greater Power[]
A manifestation of DaiBouken is summoned by GokaiOh when the Gokaigers' utilize the Boukengers' Greater Power (which was granted by Satoru Akashi TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle). Using its GoGo Sword, it slashes the target twice then tosses the GoGo Sword to GokaiOh so it can pull off the Gokai Adventure Drive. This was used when the Gokaigers fought the revived King Ryuuwon.

GoGo Vehicles[]
These are the first five mecha created by the SGS Foundation to seek out dangerous Precious as well as to combat Negative Syndicates. Each is powered by a revolutionary power system called Parallel Engines (パラレルエンジン Parareru Enjin), the energy of which is also the source of the Boukengers' power.
GoGo Dump[]
The first GoGo Vehicle, GoGo Dump (ゴーゴーダンプ Gōgō Danpu), is piloted by BoukenRed, who draws his power from its Parallel Engine. Based on a dump truck, GoGo Dump is equipped with two separate buckets which can change into a pair of manipulator arms. Additionally, each front wheel is equipped with a pressure jack, allowing any of the supplementary GoGo Vehicles to attach for GoGo Dump's use.
It forms the legs, torso, and head of DaiBouken, Super DaiBouken, and Ultimate DaiBouken and the trailer section of GoGo Trailer.

Unlike the other GoGo Vehicles, GoGo Gyro is actually two vehicles combined—the part that forms DaiBouken's helmet is an exploration vehicle called Met Lander (メットランダー Metto Randā) with the gyroplane. In the event that DaiBouken becomes immobilized, GoGo Gyro can seperate from the main formation to attack independantly.
It forms DaiBouken's back and helmet, Super DaiBouken's "spine", Ultimate DaiBouken's stomach, and the cabin of the GoGo Trailer's tractor unit.

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. The Gokaigers used their Megazord key to transform GokaiOh into DaiBouken.
