Icon-lupinrangervspatrangerThis article is about a changer in Lupinranger VS Patranger.

"Kaitou Change!"
―Lupinranger transformation call[src]

"Keisatsu Change!"
―Patranger transformation call[src]

The VS Changer (VSチェンジャー Bui Esu Chenjā) is the transformation device/standard issue firearm of the Lupinrangers and Patrangers. A current total of six VS Changers exist as part of the Lupin Collection.

History

The Lupinrangers were the first to be granted VS Changers and transform, having individually received them from Kogure. They were followed by the Patrangers, whom were granted their set, which had been delivered to the Japanese branch of GSPO, by Commander Hilltop to fight the Ganglers. Upon witnessing the Patrangers' VS Changers, the Lupinrangers were bewildered as to how they could have pieces of the Lupin Collection as well.

Notes

  • Despite the in-show use of the VS Changer appearing to simplify which side to place the respective teams' collectible, the toy version has an actual reason:
    • The Dial Fighters' molding prevents the VS Changer from turning to the Patranger "setting".
    • The Trigger Machines are designed to have, literally, a trigger built into the back of the device, so how to set it in the VS Changer is more easily understood.
  • The GoodStriker's design, while possessing modes that work on both sides of the VS Changer, have designs that both represent the style of mecha of the team using it, and appear as an extension of the weapon mode of the device:
    • An aerial figher and projectile for the Lupinrangers.
    • A heavily-armored vehicle and extended muzzle for the Patrangers.
  • VS Changers have aspects in design and function taken from past series:
    • They're used to both operate the controls of the robo, and activate finishers.
    • The transformation trinkets become the mecha through the changers.
    • Can be used as a firearm without needing anything attached to it.
    • Interfacing with the mecha/robo requires no modifications.
    • Despite the simplicity of the mechanics, there are a variety of trinkets to expand its functions.
    • Not all trinkets are used to summon/transform.
