#BoonBoomger Robo

BoonBoom Champion Trailer / BoonBoomRobo Champion

Honestly? Not as cool as 119. I mean, Leo has an alternate mode, a more interesting combination, can unlock attack modes. Champion Trailer just doesn't do as much, having two variations on the same vehicle mode, and shoving the cab inside Boomer isn't very satisfying. It's still a decent upgrade, but I feel like the two of them should have had their releases swapped.

The Good: The cab is its own transformation item, which you can mess with on its own, and is pretty cute. You can also still use it in robot mode and has unique sounds for it. It's simple, but it's fun to mess with for a few minutes.

Trailer is also very aesthetically pleasing, with the tires matching up with the face plates for the Rangers, and having them all lined up in the final robot mode is very cool.

Boomer also maintains the same number of ports for customization as in its default and 119 forms, so you can still very much mess with him.

The Bad: Unlike with 119, the arms actually lose outward posability here because of how the shoulders work. The face also misaligns itself if you move it around at all. Getting the cab inside of Boomer is not hard, but a little annoying since you have to pull Boomer apart, and his back tassels like to fall off when you do it.

Also, BoonBoom Water is pretty disappointing. It's just a translucent repaint of PatoCar 2, and it doesn't even do its intended gimmick well. It's supposed to plug into the shoulders and form cannons, but they're very loose and because the guns are slightly different they sit at noticeably different angles.

Overall, not bad, but the last super mode was better, which reflects poorly on this one. I would recommend it if you want to mess with the customization gimmick or if you like the team aesthetic, but it's not going to blow you out of the water. No pun intended.

It's hard to get a clear shot, but the fact that the ramps(?) on Boonboomger Robo flow like a cape/scarf? Oh my god I love it.

2nd poster for Final Lap is up. Oh no...Taiya... and why did Nicola Keydoor's pendant suddenly appear in that poster?

Boonboomger Robo Monster

[mechaseraph]

MADREX X BOON RED TOXIC YAOI REAL?!- real talk I hope they won't get rid of Madrex next ep I wanna see him and Taiya getting on each other nerves more Also, the ep was very good, finally getting opportunity to get glimpse of what's going on inside Taiya's head, been waiting for it since the start (Mira was so right to call him out, also)

[jade-lop]

Gun Gibson = Mel Gibson.

Bundorio Bunderas = Antonio Banderas.

Byun Diesel = Vin Diesel.

I wanted another one based on Nicolas Cage.

[doomednarrative]

Bundorio is a fuckin treasure and I'm so glad we have a robot friend for this season

BoonBoom Killer Robo

I wanna say this may be the last release from BoonBoomger? But they also designed a Killer version of BoonBoom Classic that definitely feels like it's supposed to be a toy. Even though we've hit the final arc of the show, it'd be cool if we got one or two new Killer Versions and they released Killer Classic along with those as a set. I think it's possible since they revealed the Japanese government was developing more BBKRs. I'm not expecting a Killer Leo or anything (though that would be cool), but maybe Dozer and Safari for more weapon options. Maybe a new head. Who know.

This is essentially the same as standard BoonBoom Robo. There are a few sculpted differences, like the tires and head on Trailer, Off-Road's drill, Wagon's fingers. The Police remold (which did not come with this set; it was a movie ticket preorder bonus) has quite a few remolded parts, like Itacha on the lightbar, an entire new front cab, and a new spike trap that accommodates the sticker.

The front of Trailer is also a new piece, clipping on so you can also attach it to BoonBoom Robo. That paint is also well utilized, really being used to bring out the differences between the two. However...

While the paint is well utilized, this is another instance of a premium piece having less paint. Moreover, it's basically all orange, so there're also less colors. There're also strange color instances because of the plastic, like the split colors on the face or the arms that do distract.

There's also the BoonBoom Danger. It's a nice remold, but it only has, like, two car sounds. It's mostly just plays sound clips from the villains if you keep pressing the button. They come in the same order every time, and there are a lot of them, but if there was a version that was $10 cheaper and didn't come with this, I would have taken it.

Overall, a fun remold, but definitely not essential.

Animage April 2024 Issue Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger Introduction ft. Iuchi Haruhi Interview (translations below)

Publication: March 8, 2024 (between episodes 1-2)

"Receiving the baton from the kings are superheros who drive cars with flair! The new Sentai, with its trademark racing suits, will burst throughout the world!"

Taiya Hando is a "deliverer" who delivers whatever is asked of him. When the Great Space Invasion Running Team Hashiryan appears, along with Ishiro Meita and Mira Shifuto, they change into the Boonboomgers! To protect the people, they challenge the Hashiryan to battle!!

The 48th installment of the Super Sentai series, "Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger," is now airing. This time, it's a Sentai characterized by the fact that all members are professionals in some way. Taiya, a genius in development and modification, drives a car he tuned up himself and works as a deliverer. Each person plays an active role by demonstrating their own skills. Another important point is that the "usual look" is different, with Ishiro being a freelance spy, and Mira working a variety of part time jobs. It'll be interesting to see what kind of chemistry will be created by these members, who all have different personalities, lives, and areas of expertise.

We also wonder what will happen to Jou Akuse and Genba Bureki. How they'll become members of the Boonboomgers, we can only expect an "explosive" drama! _

Taiya Hando: He's an expert in development and modification, and works as a "deliverer". He makes quick decisions, with his motto being to "take the wheel." He enjoys unexpected situations with a positive attitude.

Ishiro Meita: He's an "informant" who's skilled in intelligence gathering. He's a calm and attentive person who always considers the risks. He puts his full trust in Taiya, and lends his support to whatever he decides.

Mira Shifuto: She's a "driver" who's good at driving and maneuvering. After meeting Taiya, she starts to show her inner strength. She's the innocent mood maker of the Boonboomgers.

Jou Akuse: He's a "police man" who's excessively serious and reckless. He's a kind hearted police officer loved by the people of the town, and usually patrols it on his bicycle.

Genba Bureki: He's a "procurer" who procures what he needs from out of nowhere. While soft spoken and kind, he never shows his true feelings.

Bundorio Bunderas: Also known as Boonboom. He's a car shaped alien, who's usually humanoid and human sized, but when the time comes, he transforms into a giant and fights as the Boonboomgers Robo! _

-What I have in common with Taiya is our strong sense of commitment!-

"Please tell us your impressions of Taiya and what you're mindful of when acting."

Iuchi: Compared to the other characters, he seems to have more optimism, so I thought about how I should express that. When it comes to keeping his passionate heart to himself, if I'm too cool, he'll resemble Chasshiro (Ishiro), but if I show it too much, he'll come off as hot blooded, so I was wondering how to find the right balance. For example, regarding the relationship between Taiya and Chasshiro, I looked for references from my favorite anime and other sources to solidify his image.

"What do you think are some similarities between yourself and Taiya, and conversely, what do you not have in common?"

Iuchi: I think we're similar in that we have a strong sense of commitment for what we do, and that we focus on what we love! I always used to be called stubborn. Once I've made up my mind, I can't think about anything else. What we don't have in common is everything else (laughs). I can't develop or modify anything, and I'm pretty indecisive. I feel like I'm the same as Taiya in that I put all my energy into what I like to do.

"What do you think of the visuals when Taiya transforms into BoonRed?"

Iuchi: The other members have also said this, but the impact of the tires being on the face was amazing at first (laughs). However, when I saw them in action, I slowly began to think, "They're super cool!" Not just BoonRed, but seeing all the Boonboomgers actually moving is really cool. During the dub, you can put your personality into your voice, but that being said, if you don't do it well, it'll end up being mismatched. We're getting some great action, so I want to do my best to make the most of it.

"What are your impressions of the mechs, such as the Boonboom Trailer that BoonRed rides in?"

Iuchi: When I first saw it, it brought back memories from my childhood. My father loved foreign cars, and we had alot of model cars displayed in our house. He bought me alot of miniature cars, and I used to play with them by driving them on the carpet with roads drawn on it. So, I felt nostalgic and alittle happy.

"Please tell us what you remember from filming of the first episode."

Iuchi: The first episode focused on Mira, and although she had her own thoughts and feelings, she was being pushed around……as Taiya said, she wasn't able to "take control of her own wheel." The look and feel of the scene where Mira expresses her determination and passion to Taiya left a strong impression on me. Also, the line, "Whatever you ask me to do, I'll deliver it. That's what a deliverer does." I thought it was an important line for Taiya, where the word "deliverer" is used, so I was very enthusiastic about it.

"For scenes involving Taiya, the relationship between him and Ishiro also leaves an impression."

Iuchi: Even before filming, Hayama Yuki-kun, who plays Chasshiro, and I discussed things like, "What's the relationship between the two of them?" and "How should we go about this?" I'd be happy if we're able to give off the feeling that those two are a pair.

"Other than Taiya, which character are you interested in?"

Iuchi: It's Genba! He's very mysterious, and the vibe he and his outfit gives off is kinda different, huh? I still don't know how Taiya and Genba will meet, but I'm looking forward to seeing how Genba's encounter with the other three will balance things out. He seems like a very appealing character.

"Finally, tell us some future highlights."

Iuchi: Episode 2 is about Mira and Chasshiro, and the line, "Boonboomger is connected to my and Boonboom's dreams" is said. These words are connected to the reason why Taiya is gathering these friends, and I think that everyone's pasts will also be depicted from now on. I'd be happy if you pay attention to it.

"Taiya himself also has a mysterious side."

Iuchi: I guess so, there are still alot of things I don't understand (laughs). We'll be gathering more and more friends from now on, so please look forward to it! _

Q: What's your favorite anime/manga?

Iuchi: Due to the influence of my parents, I've always loved manga! We had alot of manga at home, which led me to watch various anime. In particular, my favorite manga is "Fullmetal Alchemist," which I've reread countless times, and have also watched the anime.

Theme Song for Boonboomger Robo

[mangolon]

Boonboom Killer Robo Police. It's the dirty cop mecha. I like how the eyes are covered, making it more sinister, and since Boondorio isn't in the driver's seat.

RIDE ON! Boonboomger Robo - Endoh Masaaki Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger (audio only)

[lialovesstuff]

⚠️warning: spoilers for boonboomger 37⚠️

I’m wondering about the spy lady’s intentions.

Like ok the ISA hired her to find a way to infiltrate into the boonboomgers to get info but I’m confused by her behaviour in the end.

When Chashiro chains her and leaves her in the warehouse she tells him smth along the lines of “they’re dangerous”. Why does she tell him this?

Then when they defeat the bad guy, she’s seen looking at the boonboomger robo and solemnly says “Ishiro”.

Then in the end she purposely leaves the eavesdropping devices for Chashiro to find.

And then what’s up with the whole line of “you’re still of some use��?? Why was in repeated in the end?

I just don’t get it, was she out to get revenge on Ishiro? Or was she just paid an amount so high h that she just couldn’t help but to betray her old partner.

Like I feel like she was kind of on their side??? But idk it doesn’t make sense to me

Is there something I missed??

If anyone could help me out here that would be super nice!!!
