I didn't like that either :p

I didn't like it just because it made no sense with Zeo's overall theme.

Well, Red Battlezord is based on a boxer so there's a weird sports theme going on with the auxiliary stuff. Its just more subtle there.

Nothing says subtle like a giant ass tire :lolol

For my money, Gaoranger/Wild Force is far and away the best DX Sentai line. Too much fun.

Awesome gallery Den-O! This means one more until the Falcon! and possibly my favorite Gao/WF combo!

You can fudge it by leaving Gao Eagle where it normally goes in Gao Gorilla to fill the gap, at least.

I love this set. After I get rid of my Gao Icarus, I'm gonna have to rebuy these guys on their own.

These two are right behind Gao Gorilla as my personal favorite individual Power Animal(s).

And I actually don't mind how it looks without Gao Eagle. Sure you can use him in there but it isn't an official combo, which is what I focus on with these galleries. Looking at it another way you can have Gao King and Muscle Striker displayed simultaneously thanks to Rhinos and that grey disc. In show they could have had two mecha on screen together even, but it takes 5 Gaorangers to pilot one of the Gao King style combos.

Den-O, I'm going to throw out a crazy fan theory:
What if the default combos could work with basic A.I.-like functions? They wouldn't be very smart, but it would let the GaoRangers pilot say, GaoMuscle Striker Longhorn while GaoKing and GaoHunter back them up.

I never understood why if the animals are sentient, they can't become a Megazord as backup themselves?
