Battle Fever Robo isn't the best or worst Sentai Robo ever. It just is in itself! It has plenty of bad points cause the "Cross Fever" attack doesn't translate too well, and the cockpit is meant to be located in the circle on its "belt", but given how far down that goes...'nuff said! It didn't even use its sword finisher until around Ep. 15! That said, it is the "ORIGINAL" Sentai Robo, and that has to count for something! It appeared alongside DaiBouken in special footage which was reused for 199! It has plenty of weapons and is protected by a fearsome battleship "shell", Battle Shark!

The first transforming mecha in the series and it's..........okay I guess. There's a lot of design bits about it that I don't really care about like the three pronged head or the giant D on the chest. Honestly I would say I like the jet mode better than the robot itself.

Jet Mode is something you wouldn't expect from a solid "brick" like DaiDenjin! The "nosecone" is the only genuine vehicle portion, and transformation sequence is rather simple and lackluster. Still, you wouldn't expect that Jet to house a head with spikes on it! It isn't the most stellar Mecha, and did get a little gruesome by cutting the Monster's head off in Ep. 1, which you probably won't see in Modern Sentai! There is something to be said about a series that can go for some 50 episodes, show the Mecha virtually every episode, and have no Secondary or Power-up support! The Joys and Downfalls of Classic Sentai!
