#kit-bash

Time for some Sentai/Gunpla kit-bash analyzation!

Now, this ship has shown up a few times here and there in Doubutsu Sentai Jyuohger, but the shots are normally quick or in the dark, and this is one of the better looks we’ve gotten at it, especially from the rear. This thing is totally a kit-bash of old Sentai Mechs with some Gunpla parts thrown in.

Both Gunpla fans and long-time Sentai/Ranger fans might notice some familiar things here. Firstly, the boosters found on the top and bottom of the parts with effects over them are standard Gunpla vernier fare. I might not be able to place the exact kit they come from, but it’s pretty obvious their origins. The tanks on the side look familiar, though I can’t place Gunpla or Sentai.

However, there are two parts I have placed. The front-bottom portion comes from Timeranger’s Time Shadow’s leg units:

And the back bottom portion and possibly the tail fin come from GoGoV’s Linerboy’s cockpit:

I wish I could pick out what the parts on the front are from, especially because I feel like I know what the cockpit used to be from, but it’s honestly too blurry for me to make out from the images I could find without having to go back through episodes and comb footage for specific things.
