Pat Striker, Hashin!

We're back with another Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger gallery, and this time it's the DX Pat Striker!

DX Pat Striker is the second Gokai Machine to be released in the line and is one of the best. The Striker itself is based on Deka Red's personal Pat Striker vehicle from Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger. And although this one can't form the torso of a robo, it can help create Deka Gokai Oh!

Deka Gokai Oh is the first instance where the dial and container gimmick really comes into full use. Pat Striker breaks down into 5 components which fully store in Gokai Oh's compartments and the arm segments can alternatively be held as pistols by Gokai Oh or any robo with similarly sized hand holes. When all 5 pieces are stored and the gimmick is activated sound and light effects are triggered in Pat Striker which mimic Deka Gokai Oh's Full Blast finisher!

Though it's eventual BOA counterpart the Delta Runner is larger, it unfortunately lacks the electronic gimmick and several key paint apps. But it features compatibility with BOA's in house Zordbuilder line. Though the combos it produces may not be as accurate they can be a lot of fun and cost effective.

The DX Pat Striker can generally be found these days very affordably and honestly is worth the electronic gimmick alone. When stacked against the likes of Magi Dragon or Furaimaru, Pat Striker is an excellent Gokai Machine and a lavish homage to the show it represents.

Check out a brief video of some of the electronic features as well.
