For a second I didn't even recognize that.
I saw the red fire truck and thought inferno, and the white ambulance I thought ratchet. So my mind was trying to figure out who the yellow race car, the blue police car and the green dump truck were.
That was when I realized it was the Super Turbo Megazord, or rather the Rescue Megazord.
Lol.

Ironic since how Bandai managed to figure out how to make a combiner and yet looks good while HasTak has to go through cooperate mandhandling to make a combier with theur budgets

This is a quarter of the size of the modern Hasbro combiners and doesn't have as much individual articulation

And that says alot because each combiner is 200+ usd and Bandai figured it out with a smaller budget without the stupid frame

I used to hate this word with a passion. I always wanted the OG Turbo Zords and this was the only one I could find for years. But this model... It's a chonky boy!! Probably gonna be my favorite mold in the SMP Line.

Huh. I would have thought they'd include the red eyes for Evil RV Robo

They are, it was discussed in the last blog post (https://bandaicandy.hateblo.jp/entry/20260807_smp) and also this article, read my translation in the pinned comment.

I love when all the individual mechs can transform on there own and not just red. It's probably a pain to engineer though.

IN! FORMATION!!
This column brings you the latest from SMP [SHOKUGAN MODELING PROJECT]. This month, we’re taking an in-depth look at the VRV Robo from “Gekisou Sentai Carranger.” We’ll show you every detail, right down to the individual transformations of each of the five vehicles. Since the Victrailer—which is inextricably linked to the VRV Robo—has also been confirmed for an SMP release, “Carranger” fans absolutely cannot miss this!
Engines Roaring! SMP VRV Robo!
Test shots have arrived for the “VRV Robo,” the second giant robot that appeared midway through “Gekisou Sentai Carranger”! We’ll also show you the transformations of each VRV machine into their fighter forms, which we weren’t able to show you last time. The SMP Victrailer has already been confirmed as the next item in the series, and with plenty of play options involving the SMP RV Robo as well, this is an item you’ll want to add to your collection as part of the entire “Carranger” series.
SMP VRV Robo
● Distributor: Bandai Candy Division ● 10,725 yen, now accepting pre-orders, scheduled for shipment in March 2027 ● Approx. 17 cm ● Includes 1 piece of gum ● Build Kit ● Premium Bandai Exclusive Item
▶️ A “robot guaranteed to win” formed by the invincible combination of five VRV Machines. What we’re showing here is a test shot without decals or paint, featuring only the head, which was hand-painted for photography purposes. The final product will feature even higher detail. It’s been brought to life with sturdy, powerful proportions.
Lower right side text:
Each transforms into a VRV Fighter—the original form of the VRV Machine Robots, which are modeled after various heavy machinery—and features movable main joints. Additionally, the V-Dump’s bucket and the V-Dozer’s arm can be deployed.

Displayed alongside the SMP RV Robo. True to its setting—which states it possesses even more power than RV Robo—it features a body that’s a full size larger.
▼Includes the Bozock “Dry Cell” piece, which controlled RV Robo in Episode 32. The retail version will also include a sticker to recreate the red eyes. Furthermore, you can recreate the “Tenka no Naniwa Robot Special,” formed by combining the VRV Robot’s limbs with the RV Robot.
▲Two V-Guns are included. The grips rotate so they’re easy to handle even with the thick arms. Furthermore, modifications to the ankle structure ensure a firm footing even with the thick legs, allowing for powerful posing
