#bakuryuu

You know what, you’re right!  Bracio was a carrier mecha!

I forgot him because, in my head, he’s AbareBlack’s partner and more than just a carrier.  He’s got personality and a level of agency I don’t usually attribute to mecha but he does serve much the same purpose.  

BakurenOh (バクレンオー) is the combined form of the two feared Bakuryuu,  CarnoRyutus (カルノリュータス) which is based on the dinosaur Carnotaurus and ChasmoShieldon (カスモシールドン) based on the Chasmosaurus. 

These two wicked Bakuryuu originally tried to turn Dino Earth (the alternate Earth where the dinosaurs never became extinct and evolved into the Bakuryuu) into an icy wasteland.  They were defeated, sealed and banished to Another Earth (our world).  They were freed thanks to the machinations of an extra-dimensional rogue named Galvidi.  Once freed, they set a course of Tokyo, intent on freezing Another Earth.  They were defeated in their combined form by the AbaRangers in AbarenOh but returned again after being freed once more by the Evolions in one of their final gambits.

These two Bakuryuu appeared first in the movie Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger:  DELUXE: Abare Summer is Freezing Cold! and then again in episode 48 of the TV series.
