Nope you're right, Grandliner was the first ever. After that was Travelion, Magi Shine's personal robot.

No, that’s the other fellows

Don't let these people lie to you; the mid-season train upgrade is the highlight of Shankunger

Yeah, the special suits in the mech deal is a thing that only happens in Power Rangers, not Sentai. If I recall correctly, robots are the big sellers in Japan, which is why the shows have about 5 million robots each season, but the action figures are the big sellers in the US, hence coming up with additional suits to wear in the mechs. They wear them in the mechs because shooting new cockpit footage is far cheaper than reshooting all the fights.

Nah man. They're all green. Adjust your TV screen.

I like that one of Die's threads has people teasing him this much about his unfamiliarity with Super Sentai, and it's actually all Decade's fault.

*switches to Mogyu Bazooka* Daizanto is too heavy. :lolol

I know. It was a joke.

A) I genuinely can't tell which of these posts are supposed to be teasing and which are supposed to be informative, which makes it super funny to me.

B) I sort of love that we all got a full day's worth of content out of me being eternally baffled by Sentai.

I'm like Medusa in that Wizard Net-Movie, where I just fundamentally distrust/dislike Sentai, even when it's 99% the same as Kamen Rider. I hope you all find my hypocrisy as funny as I found Medusa's, and continue to roast/educate me on Sentai.
