Live Robo




The first animal theme mecha and the first that I think has a clear cut theme between all the components that isn't just them being vehicles. I think it's alright for the most part. I would of like a bit more elements of Jet Falcon to show up in the front since he's basically just the upper legs and the back. The colour combination is fine enough as it is though between the blue legs and the yellow torso with black to help break things up a bit. Details like the lion head for the chest and the cannons on the back are neat. The head is really the biggest problem I have. There's just a bit too many things going on. The huge V-fin it has is pretty nice but the 3 major colours it has, red, black and yellow really don't balance each other out very well. The black face with silver mouth piece also doesn't really look that good and the head is also so strangely oval shaped.

Live Boxer


Live Boxer kinda follows this theme that the previous two secondary mechas had, that being that they were alot more boxy than the main mecha. Here though, I think that design theme finally works mostly thanks to the chest. It adds just that extra bit of definition to the torso which makes it not so incredible flat, like both Titan Boy and Galaxy Robo. This helps give Live Boxer a more powerhouse look than Live Robo which I think was the intent. Stuff like having the rhino and bull heads as feet or the litte hints of green and black on the head are pretty nice. Even some of the little aeshetic bits like how both Bison Liner and Sai Fire are more vehicular like than the mecha of the main team go a long way of setting this guy apart from Live Robo.

Super Live Robo

The first mecha formed from combining two mechas. This is one nice looking combination. Love how almost all the design elements of both mechas are shown here. I quite like the bull and rhino heads as shoulders as well as how Live Boxer's chest becomes the new waist piece. Even the head I think is a great improvement over Live Robo's head. The shape is alot nicer and the colours are better thanks to having less yellow and black, instead having more red and silver. As the first multi mecha combination, I think this is a pretty good first attempt.
