The Getter Robo is a giant robot featured in Getter Robo High. Like its other counterparts, the Getter Robo takes one of three forms, depending on the formations of the Getter Machines. However, unlike its counterparts, the Getter Robo is powered by the movement of tiles in a game of mahjong.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
Getter Machine[]
Like its other counterparts, the Getter machines are jets that combine in order to form the Getter Robo. The Get machines are made up of Super-Steel Getter Metal, making highly resistant to attacks from other enemy machines. However, if not careful, the Get machines could damage one another.
- Honghu - Red colored Get machine. Honghu is piloted by Banko Benimaru. In order to pick up Banko, Dr. Shifukan shortly flew Honghu.
- Lufeng - Green colored Get machine. Lufeng is piloted by Takeo Midorikawa. In teaching Banko about formations, Task Shifukan temporarily piloted Lufeng.
- Bailong - White colored Get machine. Bailong is piloted by Tsutsuno Byakuya. Before recruiting Tsutsuno, Dr. Shifukan temporarily piloted Bailong up until he started getting critically ill.
Formations[]
Getter Honghu is piloted by Banko Benimaru. It is built for combat on land.
Attacks:[]
- Getter Beam: Banko was told to fire the Getter Beam, but because she hadn't read the manual, she instead used Honghu to fire punches. In later battles, Honghu kicks its enemy in the knee and then uppercuts them.
- Getter Tomahawk: Tsutsuno instructs Banko to use the Getter Tomahawk, but because Banko, once again, didn't read the manual, She went straight for the enemy with a Mongolian chop. Using its sharp claws, Honghu severs both of the enemy pilot's arms as well as tearing apart the enemy plane.
- Getter Bite: Honghu opens its mouth part and bites its enemy.
