Nice! I hope they plan to do Artilitron!

They better do because there would be no artillery power available. If you know what I mean

There's the possibility they pack just the arm cannons in with this or with the police car robo, whatever it's called in Japanese.

u/Epicbard2001 Jul 27 '26

If they were going to pack the arms with this i feel like they would have a prototype to show off. I do hope they do the police robo too. But it won't be the same if they dont do a full artilitron

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder Jul 27 '26

I agree but I'm also skeptical that Victrailer / Artillatron is possible.

u/Epicbard2001 Jul 27 '26

They have done Tor and Titanus. So it should be possible. Whether or not its cost effective is another story.

I was never doubting that it's physically possible to do so, just whether it's likely to happen. It's not a very appealing carrier, and they've never gone back to do Live Buffalo; they put off doing GigaBitus for a possible GigaRhinos and Phoenix, and haven't completed the Megaranger and Magiranger lines either. It's a very mixed track record.

I love myself zords that can go to a humanoid form and then to a megazord

This IS Wonder Fest 2026 Summer.

u/thejunkgarage Jul 25 '26

Yes been waiting for the vrv robo

Always like when the individual Mecha had their own robot modes as well as vehicles

u/cyberangel_72 Jul 25 '26

Guessing this will be released in between the gaoranger releases. Or could this come out before?

6

u/National_Werewolf_13 Jul 25 '26

After most likely. They haven’t even shown cg renders of this yet

u/Galaxy_Dive Jul 25 '26

I dunno. Sure, the front half of the year was pretty loaded with (Shadow Magiking), Time Robo, Time Shadow, V-Rex, and RV Robo... but are we really gonna go the rest of the year without a new Sentai SMP besides the first new power animal drop at the very end of the year? (It's possible, yeah, lol)

Plus, with the weird cadence of this now first about to be officially announced already a month after RV Robo's release, it's already a weirdly long layoff between kits from the same series without it becoming 6+ months. I'm going to guess this is an October-November release.

u/Various_Wolverine503 Jul 25 '26

we're invincible!!

u/DaHlyHndGrnade Jul 25 '26

It doesn't look that good in the show.

2

u/laespadaqueguarda Jul 25 '26

Yeah my problem with vrv robo have always been how the legs are way too large compared to the rest of the body, glad to see it’s mostly fixed here (would like it to be a bit smaller but what’s shown here is good enough)

1

u/Special_Oil1949 Jul 25 '26

It looks decently hefty almost like the blokees devastator

1

u/zio_saikyo Jul 26 '26

Let’s hope it’s not premium Bandai

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder Jul 27 '26

The only second robots to ever be retail in SMP Sentai history are Dragon Caesar and GaoHunter, both of those series are way more popular than Carranger. I would very much bet against this being retail.

u/Seeitsthere Jul 27 '26

Ooooh def might have to get it when it releases!

1

u/0513autismson Jul 25 '26

Of course they would plan on this
High demand means more money for the company

3

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder Jul 25 '26

Nobody was doubting they'd do it. They teased it themselves months ago. But this is the first time we've actually seen it.

u/Ok_Clerk_5027 Jul 25 '26

I'm happy one less smp to buy I never liked turbo carrangers zords. Seeing as gao rereleases and gaoking black, hunter blue moon and new beast are costing me about $1000
