The X Trains (エックストレイン, Ekkusu Torein) are a type of VS Vehicle. They are the train mecha created specifically for use by Lupin X/Patren X in Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger.

Overview

X Trains Silver and Gold are two trains connected back to back when summoned, controlled by the X Rod Sword in either cab. It is summoned when Noël rotates the X Changer 360 degrees, shifts to the appropriate train, then fires. While it seemingly defaults to the X Train Silver commandeered by Lupin X, Noël can switch between the two trains easily. and separate when needed. He pulls from the current cockpit into a central chamber between the two trains, switches to the necessary form for the train with the X Rod Sword (i.e. when turning to Lupin to Patren he flips the lever to Rod form to change, then flips it to middle again), and slides into the other train.

X Trains Fire and Thunder are Noël's auxiliary trains that can attack on their own when summoned.

The X Trains have two default Robo forms, X Emperor Slash and X Emperor Gunner. While each robot form has an intricate combination sequence and cockpit transfer, it can switch between the two when X Emperor performs a handstand to switch as Noël uses the X Rod Sword to the form in need.

History

The X Trains were created by Arsène Lupin and given to Noël Takao before his death. TV STORY-Number 44: The Truth Found

The X Trains first appeared as Noël set off towards Japan from the GSPO France Headquarters, then confronting a Zarudan Hou as Lupin X. After revealing himself to both the Lupinrangers and Patrangers, he utilized the trains against Zarudan alongside LupinKaiser and destroyed him alongside LupinKaiser Trains.

The X Changer (Xチェンジャー, Ekkusu Chenjā) is the transformation device/standard issue firearm of Lupin X/Patren X. It is the combined form of the miniature X Train Silver and X Train Gold. Unlike the VS Changers, Noël cannot activate other VS Vehicles with the X Changer, and requires the VS Changers of either the Lupinrangers or Patrangers, though this has proven unnecessary in future summonings.

In addition to being his changer, Noël can repair damaged VS Vehicles by analyzing the damage with holograms from Lupin X's belt buckle, then using the X Train Silver as some form of soldering iron, firing a small green energy beam with X Trains Thunder and Fire providing the heat and energy for the operation. TV STORY-Number 23: Status: Gold

It can also be used to initiate finishers. For Lupin X, it initiates the Superior Shot, a silver flaming bullet. Unlike the VS Changers, the X Changer does not require any gimmick or movement; all it needs is to be readied then fired. TV STORY-Number 27: Dancing Afterwards

"Chou X-X Gat-time! (combination sequence) Good Cool Kaiser! V! S! X!"

―pre- & post-combination announcement^[src]

Good Cool Kaiser VSX (グッドクルカイザーVSX, Guddo Kuru Kaizā Bui Esu Ekkusu) is the combination between the main three Trigger Machines, Dial Fighters, GoodStriker, and X Trains. It combines all 10 main Vehicles into a single combination through GoodStriker, as his power is to empower the other pieces of the Collection. The combination was his idea to begin with too.

Cockpit-wise, Lupin Blue & Yellow are in the "V" section, Patren 2gou & 3gou are in the "S" section, and Lupin Red, Patren 1gou, & Lupin/Patren X are in the "X" section. However, if somebody is uncooperative in the X cockpit and potentially the other cockpits as well, Goodie can switch him/her out for somebody more favorable. In the instance of its debut, Patren 1gou was booted down to the S cockpit in favor of Patren 3gou in the X cockpit. Each cockpit possesses colored lights on the back wall to signify which Ranger (excluding Noël) is in which part of the cockpit (when Keiichiro was switched, the red light turned pink for Tsukasa).

Despite its large, seemingly incumbent size, it is extremely agile and durable, being able to slide with the vehicles by its feet, jump & kick, and use its four arms & ankle vehicles to great effect in close quarters combat, alongside their individual special abilities such as X Train Thunder's gun ability and Yellow's energy buzzsaws. The secondary arm ports can also have the Auxiliary VS Vehicles attach to them, such as Crane, Drill, & Biker, and Scissors, Blade, & Cyclone and Splash & Magic. It overpowered even the likes of Raimon, a Status Gold, the toughest challenge both teams had encountered at the time, due to the fact that he had four arms.

Its finisher is the Good Cool Kaiser: Vehicle Rush Strike (グッドクールカイザービークル ラッシュストライク, Guddo Kūru Kaizā Bīkuru Rasshu Sutoraiku). All of the VS Vehicles that make up Good Cool Kaiser VSX separate, leaving behind their colored silhouettes on the body, and ready themselves for the final attack (excluding GoodStriker, and only the cabs of the X Trains separate). GCKVSX then manually launches the 10 vehicles towards the opponent in colored dashes, destroying him/her. The VS Vehicles then return to their silhouettes. In the team-up film, the finisher was the Good Cool Kaiser: All Star Strike, where the VS Vehicles are accompanied by the Kyutama of the main 12 Kyurangers.

Wielding the Lupin Magnum, it can perform the Good Cool Kaiser: Vehicle Burst Magnum (グッドクールカイザー ビークルバーストマグナム, Guddo Kūru Kaizā Bīkuru Bāsuto Magunamu), where the Lupin Magnum is loaded with the Auxillary VS Veicles to charge up a powerful laser shot.

Notes

• The X Trains are the first Sixth Ranger robo to be a four-piece robo.
• The X Changer is the first Sentai transformation weapon that also becomes the Ranger's mecha.
• Good Cool Kaiser VSX does not have its own costume, being seen only in CGI. Only isolated parts are seen at a time in costume, such as the Blue and Yellow Dial Fighters.
• Good Cool Kaiser VSX's name originates from a mistranslation of one of GoodStriker's catch phrases, "guddokuru", used when he decides which team to work with. The phrase is wordplay on the term "guttokuru", which means "to touch emotionally; to feel something; to invoke striking feelings". This has been presumed by some to read as "Good Cool" when romanized literally into English. However, problems occur when attempting to read the phrase this way, as the Japanese writing of "cool" is not "kuru" (クル), but "kuuru" (クール).  Thus an alternative, valid interpretation for the combinations name would be "Good Feeling Kaiser".
• The Trains correspond to their respective team in visible manners:
  • The colors of the Trains correlate to its team's symbol; gold for the Patrangers, silver for the Lupinrangers.
  • The silver trains have dials that do rotate, but they do not work like the Dial Fighters.
  • The gold trains have small triggers in their backs that do not function as actual triggers for the VS Changer, however the X Train Gold has an additional trigger as part of its gatling gun that serves as the grip and trigger for the X Changer.
• X Train Fire also has a combination, 2-1-8, programmed into the DX VS Changer despite the dial being impossible to turn. This was unused in the series.
  • The summoning announcements of the auxiliary trains follow the format of their teams' respective Mecha sets.
  • The fighting styles of the X Emperor forms resemble their teams; long range shooting for Gunner, and quick agile slashes for Slash.
