Nekketsu Saikyō Go-Saurer (熱血最強ゴウザウラー, Nekketsu
Saikyō Gōzaurā
?, also called "Hot-Blooded Strongest
Go-Saurer", "Matchless Passion Gozaurer"
or "Gozaurer"), is a 51 episode animated television series, and third series in the
Eldran franchise funded by Takara-Tomy and produced by Sunrise. It aired in Japan from
March 3, 1993 to February 23, 1994. The story revolves around a
group of [elementary school children who are given command of a mecha named Go-Saurer and their
efforts to defend the Earth from the Kikaika Empire (Named the
"Machine Empire" in the Filipino dubbed version).
The Plot
The Kikaika(literally mechanization) Empire invades our solar
system, and in a matter of moments they take over and convert
Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter,and Mars, and set their sights on
Earth. However, one thing stands in their way. Earth's ancient
protector and soldier of light, Eldoran. To fight this menace he
gifts a 5th-grade class with 3 huge robotic dinosaurs, with the
power to merge and form the giant robot Gosaurer, which they then
can pilot and use to stop the Kikaika Empire's advances.
The
Robots
Unlike the previous Eldran series' unit, both the Gosaurer and
Magnasaurer are transformed by the school itself, rather than
launched under the base of school/street, which means the
facilities in school are usable, but also means that the armour are
extremely weak.
Gosaurer
(While not engaging in battle, it was the central part of the
school, including classroom which the Saurers belongs to)
Saurer
Jet
It is piloted by Ishita Gorou. This form is the form Gosaurer
takes when first launched. It is good for transportation but not
much else, as the only weapons usable in this form are the Thunder
Cannons, Jet Vulcan, and the Saurer Jet itself. Once it has reached
its destination, it splits into its three components with the
command "Saurer Formation."
Mach
Ptera
It is piloted by Minesaki Kenichi. The first Dinosaur Robot, it
is the only flight-capable component of the three. It mounts a pair
of gatlings on the wings. It becomes the arms and back of Gosaurer.
The support crew for it are Marbo, Yuka, Ikuyo, Kyojyu, and until
he gets Gransaurer, Youji.
Land
Stego
It is piloted by Tachihana Hiromi. The second Dinosaur Robot and
it can attack with spinning backplates, or with missile launchers
on the sides of the head. Its support crew is Bon, Elly, Kooko,
Harue, and until he finds Magnasaurer, Kinta. It becomes Gosaurer's
main body.
Thunder
Brachio
It is piloted by Asaoka Shinobu. The third Dinosaur Robot and
its weapons are a gatling cannon inside the mouth, the cannons on
its back. It can also withdraw the legs into the body and ram with
hover jets. The support crew for this Robo are Chobi, Shuuzou, the
twins One and Two, and Gorou. It becomes Gosaurer's legs.
Gosaurer
When the command "Nekketsu Gattai" is given to
the Commander unit, the three Dinosaur Robots merge into Gosaurer.
The three pilots move to the head, where Kenichi seems to be the
main pilot. The three command centers recombine into a new command
center in the middle of Gosaurer's chest. Its attacks include:
- Saurer Bomber
A crystal is formed from the chest crystal, then punched at the
enemy
- Water Beam
It fires an energy beam form the chest crystal. The power magnifies
underwater.

It summons the sword and the shield
- Shield Beam
It fires a beam from the fins on the shield
- Saurer Cannon
It fires blasts from the leg-mounted cannons
- Spin Boomerang
It throws the Saurer Shield in a boomerang-style attack
- Saurer Magma Finish
The finishing attack, utilizing the Saurer Blade
Magna
Tyranno
Shirokane Tarou(Kinta) is the pilot of two forms, and this is
the form it takes when the Saurer Jet splits with "Saurer
Formation". Its attacks are simple: Tyranno Fire fires a blast of
fire from its mouth, and it bodily rams the enemy when performing
Tyranno Smash.
Magnasaurer
The robot form. Its transformation command is "Nekketsu
Henkei", or Hot-Blooded Transform. It has:
- Magna Blade
Its own sword
- Magna Shot
It fires blasts from the arm cannons
- Magna Bomber
It forms a crystal from its chest crystal, which it then throws at
the enemy like an American football
Magna
Buster
The equipment mode. When the command "Nekketsu
Bussou" or Hot-Blooded Armament is given, it can combine
with Gosaurer to allow use of the finishing move "Saurer Big
Buster" (Note: "Saurer Big Buster" can be fired even without
combining with Gosaurer, but this has been done only once in the
anime), firing a huge blast from the cannons. It also is this mode
initially during launch, as a part of the Saurer Jet. When it is
not engaging in battles, it was the part of the school which the
stairs, as well as the cookery located.
Grantops
Again with only a single pilot, Hiyama Youjiin all three forms.
This is the Dinosaur mode of Gransaurer, and the initial mode it is
gained in. It has several attacks in this mode:
- Tricera Horn
Its attack with the horns
- Tricera Fire
An attack of fire from the mouth
- Tricera Launcher
A missile spread fired from the launchers on the side
Granjet
The initial form of Gransaurer during launch. This mode is
pretty much just good for transportation, and has one attack: Gran
Launcher, which launches a spread of missiles.
Gransaurer
When Youji gives the command "Nekketsu
Shinkon," or Hot-Blooded Evolution, to his Commander unit,
Gransaurer transforms to robot mode. In this mode it has access to

- Gran Bomber
It forms a crystal form its chest crystal, then throws it at the
enemy like a boomerang

Gransaurer's solo finishing move, using its polearm
King
Gosaurer
The combination of Gosaurer, Magnasaurer and Gransaurer into a
single, powerful robot. It requires all the Saurers to be on board
to commence the merge, and Kenichi, Youji and Kinta must all give
the command "Chou Nekketsu Gattai"
(Super-Hot-Blooded Merge) simultaneously to their Commander units.
It can use the following attacks:
- King Fire
It releases fire from the Dinosaur head on the chest
- King Shot
It fires the foot cannons from Magnasaurer
- King Launcher
It fires a missile swarm form the shoulder launchers
