The plot
It has been another one year after the Three Great Demons got defeated by Great Ganbaruger. Soon before the Dankettsu Team is nearly formed to perfection and there were Daiteioh and Dairyuuoh, the Kikaika (literally mechanization) Empire invades the solar system in space, 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 gives a 6th-grade class of Harukaze Elementary School three huge robotic dinosaurs, including of Magna Tyranno and Grantops, with the power to merge and form the giant robot Gosaurer including Hot blooded evolutions of Magnasaurer and Gransaurer, which they then can pilot and use to stop the Kikaika Empire's advances.
Saurers (ザウラーズ, Zauraazu)
Kenichi Minezaki is the sixth grade main pilot of Gosaurer. His parents run a sports store named "Minezaki Sports". He is the cheerful boy, but is having a hundred percent problems of academics. He is friends with Saneyasu and Kazutaka.
Hiromi Tachibana is the son of a klutzy doctor who lives in Harukaze City, a neighboring city to Aozora and Hinobori. In fact, he is the pilot of Land Stego.
A tomboyish sixth grade girl who often argues with Kenichi. She once wore a kimono to school. She is the pilot of Thunder Brachio.
The judo student who is aggressive and the toughest. It is not long until he is the pilot of Magna Tyranno.
A nerd and teacher's pet, who likes to read, though his own family disapproved. He is the son of an elite family in Harukaze. Personally, he has a crush on the Class 6-3's homeroom teacher, Yayoi Yuri. It is also not long before he becomes pilot of Grantops.
Class president and pilot of Saurer Jet. Has a very powerful temper, and is like a volcano when it erupts: gentle and seemingly stable, but when he gets cut off, then BOOM.
The leader of the Saurers. She gives the scramble command through her brace, and occupies the main command seat in the command center. She has a bit of an ego as well, leading to situations like dragging the Saurers into a movie production so she can be an idol.
The "mad scientist" of the Saurers. Not only did she help develop Boueigar (Gransaurer) but she also writes the program for King Gosaurer. Strangely enough, the code looks like Basic, so that may have helped. She also was the one who first worked out the functions of Gosaurer.
Very good with mechanical things. He helped with the design and construction of Boueigar. He seems to possibly be more than a friend with Kyouju. His father seems to have some type of job involving cars.
The second of the "terrible trio" with Chobi and Kenichi. Wears a hat.
The third member of Kenichi's trio. He is good at soccer, and proud of it.
The first of the female trio. She is more of a crybaby than Kumiko and Harue. Possibly has some sort of relationship between her and Kinta.
The second of the female trio. She was once stalked by Hiromi as a subject for art, but when he gets hurt she gets around her feelings to treat him, and in fact seems to possibly care about him after that. The nurse, as such, among the kids.
The third member of the female trio, her timidity seems to be expressed in her introvertedness. She is the tallest one in the class, and while Bon seemed to have a crush on her, in the end it appeared to have amounted to nothing, leaving her as the only one of the three likely not to have a potential boyfriend.
The first-born of the Sato twins.
The second-born of the Sato twins.
An overeater. During the Saurer's stay in the time of the dinosaurs, he ends up for a short while adopting a baby dinosaur which hatched from the egg he was about to eat. In the end though he has to leave it behind.
A heavyset girl. She takes care of the class's pet, an iguana, and is kind to animals in general. She even rescued a stray cat who got caught inside Gosaurer when a battle began.
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 (ザウラージェット, Zauraa Jetto)
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 (マッハプテラ, Mahha Putera)
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 (ランドステゴ, Rando Sutego)
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 they find Magnasaurer, Kinta. It becomes Gosaurer's main body.
Thunder Brachio (サンダーブラキオ, Sandaa Burakio)
It is piloted by Asaoka Shinobu the tomboy. 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 (ゴウザウラー, Gouzauraa)
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:
A crystal is formed from the chest crystal, then punched at the enemy
It fires an energy beam form the chest crystal. The power magnifies underwater.
It summons the sword and the shield
It fires a beam from the fins on the shield
It fires blasts from the leg-mounted cannons
It throws the Saurer Shield in a boomerang-style attack
The finishing attack, utilizing the Saurer Blade
Magna Tyranno (マグナティラノ, Maguna Tirano)
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 (マグナザウラー, Magunazauraa)
The robot form. Its transformation command is "Nekketsu Shinka", or Hot-Blooded Evolution. It has:
Its own sword
It fires blasts from the arm cannons
It forms a crystal from its chest crystal, which it then throws at the enemy like an American football
Magna Buster (マグナバスター, Maguna Basutaa)
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. The name of the robot is Buster Gosaurer (バスターゴウザウラー, Basutaa Gouzauraa).Buster Gosaurer changes to Super Saurer Jet (スーパーザウラージェット, Suupaa Zauraa Jetto).
Grantops (グラントプス, Gurantopusu)
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:
Its attack with the horns
An attack of fire from the mouth
A missile spread fired from the launchers on the side
Granjet (グランジェット, Guranjetto)
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 (グランザウラー, Guranzauraa)
When Youji gives the command "Nekketsu Shinka," or Hot-Blooded Evolution, to his Commander unit, Gransaurer transforms to robot mode. In this mode it has access to the following attacks:
It fires a missile spread like those above
It summons its polearm weapon
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 (キングゴウザウラー, Kingu Gouzauraa)
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:
It releases fire from the Dinosaur head on the chest
It fires the foot cannons from Magnasaurer
It fires a missile swarm form the shoulder launchers
It summons the sword
The finishing move, using the King Blade
In last episode it can further combine with the every part of the school which extra amour are placed on King Gosaurer, while the usable armaments are reduced to King Blade. The unit itself is called Gakuenger (ガクエンガー, Gakuengaa).
