The first five piece combiner robo for Sentai amd I think it turned out pretty well. It relatively solid looking, all the ranger colours are present, and there are a number of details that I like such how the nosecone of Masky Fighter becomes the chest of Great Five. The one gun dangling to the side is a little awkward looking but I get the effect they were trying to go for and I do find it cool that it's created from the top gun of Masky Drill. The only thing I dislike is the face, specifically the two protrusions on the side. They just go a little bit too far in opinion to the point where the robot looks like it has a moustache.

Considering I was already meh on Titan Boy, Galaxy Robo I think is even more of a downgrade. The predominantly red with blue colour scheme really doesn't work in my opinion and the chest is so oddly flat. The head is even worse, with the ugly blue face and the even more pronounced protrusions which again, makes him look like he has a moustache. His proportions in generally are just very awkward looking with how boxy his torso is. About the only thing nice I can say about him is his vehicle form, Land Galaxy.

Next week, Liveman

Galaxy Robo needs a better paint job and lacks the presence of Great Titan.
Great Five is funny considering this show in its development phase was about to be called Fiveman. Masky Fighter is one of my favorite jets within Super Sentai.

Great Five is one my favorite robot in sentai.

Sadly it is underappreciated at times when it should be regarded somewhat as a memorable robot because this is the first robot to be composed of five individual vehicles assigned to each ranger which was a first when it came out. The face could have been designed better but nonetheless.

I don't see nothing wrong with he's face.

Nothing big, just some nitpicking from my side. Someone pointed it out recently and I kinda agree with that opinion. Specifically that the red markings could be toned down a bit.

I think Great Five looks pretty awesome, especially for its era, while Galaxy Robo looks extremely dated.

Great Five was a kickass. Galaxy Robo was a step down. Though it's eccentricity made it not a clone of G5, those cannon nipples really bothered me.

Yeah, i think the cannons should be in the shoulders like Titan Boy.

I'd say Great Five is better, Galaxy Robo looks awkward. It could pass as a vehicle that transforms into a mecha that combines into a larger mecha. (IE: VRV Robo from Gekisou Sentai Carranger.)
