All of my galleries are of the BOJ versions, hence why I refer to them by their Japanese names. I simply don't like to apply labels to my vintage stuff.

Ugh.

Stickers go over the sculpted panels, I believe.

Hey the real one was a frigging god

Now he was awesome!

I've always been up in the air about this one. Very unique in paint scheme, but not radically different enough from GaoKing for me to have purchased it. And I'm not actually a fan of the base GaoKing compared to the other combinations from the series.

What was GaoGod like? Because Animus was a self-righteous turd. Did GaoGod go through the same rantings and ravings about the environment that was a blanket "all humans suck and are equally to blame for destroying the eco system" where he forced his will ove rthe wild zords before giving them a giant motorcycle? Or did he actually have something resembling a sensible motivation?

Roanstalker · 11-20-2013, 01:48 PM

I believe it was a test or something. Similar to what happened in Zyuranger?

SPLIT LIP · 11-20-2013, 01:53 PM

Ugh, I hate "tests" like that. That's the same bullshit they pulled in WF and it makes no sense. WHY did the rangers need to be tested? Were the several episodes leading up to that not proof enough?

Roanstalker · 11-20-2013, 01:56 PM

Gods have their ways. Even Beast Gods.

SPLIT LIP · 11-20-2013, 02:02 PM

That's a terrible excuse.

I like the regal colorscheme without being obnoxious. How does he look next to GaoMuscle, GaoIcarus and GaoHunter?

But Animus being a dick? Makes total sense; the most common gods and goddesses used in a story are the Greco-Roman ones. Which, in the Greek stuff, they ARE massive dicks with the exception of Hades, who is overworked and now villainized because death is evil.

Well at first he was an amnesiac child that befriended Gao Silver. Then the orgs got hold of him and showed him the graveyard of junk where Orgs were born, the trash of human civilization gave birth to them. Since he still wasn't aware who he truly was he briefly allied with the orgs and transformed into Gao God to fight the Gaorangers. After a while though his memories returned and he tested the rangers by depriving all of them but Gao Silver of their Power Animals.

Silver was fighting an Org that looked like a wind up robot and was losing pretty hard. But he absorbed some extra special power to make Gao Hunter Blue moon and won. They passed the test and Gao God left them in the care of Tetom pretty much for good.
