To celebrate Power Rangers 20th Anniversary we're remembering Power Rangers Lost Galaxy this month! In honor of that we bring you this gallery of the Seiju Sentai Gingaman DX GigaRhinos! Better known in the US as the Centarus Megazord! The GigaRhinos began life as the Starbeast GingaRhinos before being split into 5 GigaWheel vehicles. Weapons from the 5 individual machines form GigaRhinos' main weapon, the Gigantis Buster!
Notice anything about this figures design? Or that of it's companion robo the DX GigaPhoenix? The designs of these 2 mecha were clearly influenced by early Showa Sentai. Multiple vehicles which come together to form satisfyingly blocky and very mechanical looking robots. They hearken back to the days of such classic Showa mecha designs as Dynarobo, Changerobo, and Flashking! You don't see DX designs quite like this anymore. Want TokuNation.com updates on the go?

This and Phoenix were my favorites. That also might explain why I like Siren, come to think of it. Very nicely done, Den!

Huh, I'd never realised the similarities between this and Siren Builder before, that's pretty neat.
Out of the two galleries you've done so far, I'd say GigaRhinos is probably my favourite. He's just so gloriously retro.

I always loved the"power walking" motion he did to stand up. Very memorable.
