Dyna Dragon

, also spelled Dina Dragon, is a mecha created and controlled by Ippei Baba and Yuka Inoue. It was designed based on the historical reconstructions of theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus, prior to the dinosaur renaissance.
In Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad, the robot is named Drago and piloted by Sydney Forrester and Tanker.

==History==
===Gridman the Hyper Agent===
Dyna Dragon was originally two separate fighters of Assist Weapons, serving as Gridman's reinforcements during combat. The Dragonic Cannon was first made to counter and destroy Mecha Bagira after it reanimated a Chinese Mummy to attack a research facility. In its next battle, the giant cannon revealed itself as an aircraft named Dyna Fighter and played a crucial part in exposing Mecha Flamelar's weak spot.
The King Jet was already designed by Ippei sometime later but wasn't able to decide the color of its wings until his art teacher suggested him to use the color white. The King Jet was deployed as Dragon Fortress, having combined with Dyna Fighter as both aircraft split and expose Mecha Stealgun from its invisibility.
The data of Dragon Fortress was implemented with the image of Tyrannosaurus, giving the fighter a suitable body to operate and transform into Dyna Dragon, fighting side-by-side with Gridman on various occasions. When Venora's toxic gas almost killed Gridman, Ippei created a combination program to counter its effect. Struggling to remodel Dragon Fortress into a compatible form for Gridman, he settled with simplifying to using King Jet instead at Yuka's suggestion, turning it into King Gridman's armor. Ever since the reprogramming, Dragonic Cannon and King Jet are programmed to be sent into battle with this form.
Its final battle was as King Gridman in against Skubone. Dyna Dragon, God Zenon and Gridman Sword were destroyed by Giant Kahn Digifer after he invaded Junk's server and attacked the Assist Weapon cache. 
===Gridman the Hyper Agent: The Demon King's Counterattack===
Having been rebuilt at an unknown point after the original series, Dyna Dragon returns in the photo novel series. It is used by Gridman Sigma to transform into King Gridman Sigma, and fight alongside Thunder Gridman against Neo Kahn Digifer and his monsters. 
===Gridman the Hyper Agent: boys invent great hero===
Dyna Dragon and its components were part of adult Takeshi Todo's recollections of Gridman's past battles. The Dragonic Cannon is also shown here held by King Gridman instead of his original form.
However, the destruction of Dyna Dragon is played differently: instead of being slashed as a program, Dyna Dragon was already formed as King Gridman while Kahn Digifer destroyed the entire armor effortlessly with Elimination Ray Digifier Beam.

==Trivia==
*Dyna Dragon may have been inspired by the Transformers character Dinosaurer (en: Trypticon), a Decepticon Cityformer. This is not surprising, as Takara (the company that sells Transformers toys in Japan) is also one of the sponsors of Gridman the Hyper Agent.
*The Dragonic Cannon is based on the Chi-Powered Bazooka that appeared and used by the titular team of Gosei Sentai Dairanger. Fittingly, both Gridman and Dairanger were aired in the same year (1993 to 1994).
*In contrast to other Assist Weapons, Dyna Dragon and its components can act as a weapon (Dragonic Cannon), support vehicles (Dyna Fighter and King Jet), independent robot (Dyna Dragon), and Gridman's armor (King Jet) altogether.
*While filming for Gridman, the exclusion of Dragonic Cannon gave the suit actor additional mobility, making it lighter than Thunder Gridman.https://twitter.com/Karzworks/status/635843128155484161
*Contrary to popular belief, Dynazenon was the real inspiration behind Dyna Dragon's creation, as Dragonic Cannon was inspired by a Chinese dragon-styled ornament. SSSS.DYNAZENON later establish said ornament to be the titular mecha's inactive form.
