2012 Super Sentai/Power Rangers Show Revealed

Product solicitation sheets from the toy conglomerate Bandai reveal that franchise.

The new series begins with three heroes: Red Buster, Blue Buster, and Yellow Buster. Their Buster Machines — the cheetah-transforming Gobuster Ace, Gorilla, and Rabbit — combine to form Gobuster O, for which Bandai is making a 310-millimeter-tall (about 12.2-inch-tall) toy. To transform themselves, the heroes have a Buster Gear called Morphin' Brace with pop-up sunglasses.

The heroes also have "Buddyroids" — Chida Nick, Gorisaki Banana, and Usada Lettuce — that transform into the heads of their respective Buster Machines. (The Buddyroids' names are references to the food eaten by the animals that inspired the Buster Machines' alternate modes; niku is the Japanese word for meat.)
