Our Power Rangers Megaforce/Super Megaforce tribute continues with yet another figure from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!
Today we’re looking at DX Gokai Machine Gao Lion, based of course on the Power Animal of the same name from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger! Gokai Machine Gao Lion however isn’t just a tribute to the original creature but more to the point the over sized DX BIG Gao Lion released near the tail end of Gaoranger’s DX line. This fun and creative homage is easily one of the better figures released over the course of Gokaiger. It also has the unique honor of being a double homage, for both Gaoranger & Samurai Sentai Shinkenger !

Today we've got another treat for you from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. DX Gokai Machine Gao Lion is based on the same character from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger. At least the toy is. In series context this literally IS the same Gao Lion from Gaoranger. Once the Gokaigers gained his approval he descended from Sky Island and became the latest Gokai Machine!
This figure while based on the character and original toy, is more of an homage to the over sized BIG DX Gao Lion. It's almost a match for the size of that release but more importantly it homages the massive Gao Centaurus mode that the original BIG Gao Lion could create. When used with Gokai Oh that form is known as Gao Gokai Oh.
When the Shinkenger keys were used while Gao Gokai Oh was formed, Gao Lion underwent a transformation to become a full set of armor components and Shinken Gokai Oh was formed! This reveals the massive Reka Daizantou that made up his torso and hips as well as the kanji symbols placed around his body. This specific placement of kanji of course hoamges Shinken Oh. So Gao Lion actually winds up being a double homage to both Gaoranger and Samurai Sentai Shinkenger!
Of course like the DX pat Striker it features an electronic gimmick. Demonstrated briefly in the below videos.

This is the one i want the most out of the Super megaforce stuff.
Always though this was one coolest machines since it combined to sentais
Ooh, finally, we get to see my favourite Gokai Machine! I considered just getting Gokai Oh and Gokai Lion to display in Shinken Gokai-oh form but didn't like the idea of leaving the legs out with no where to go. The one thing I was disappointed about was that you couldn't use all the parts for the final combination. Was a bummer. But I may still consider getting Shinken Gokai-oh someday, or even all of them if I can.
This is easily my favorite Gokai machine, Shinken GokaiOH looks fantastic, and i really can't wait to get the super megaforce version.
Pulling double duty like a boss, this is my favourite Gokai Machine. He's a big ol' kitty with a Samurai zest!
I dont know, I still love the american version better.
Going right along with alot of others, Shinken Gokai Oh was my favorite version. I will end up with the BOA one. 1 thing i was really hoping they would do in Gokaiger was a new megazord made up of the other grand powers, ie combining pat striker magi dragon, gao lion and the rest. Ah well.
While I'm never been big into Centaur modes, I love the other two, really cool figure.
