Dynazenon

* Base Form
* Dynarex

**Dynazenon** (ダイナゼノン, *Dainazenon*), is a giant robot belonged to Gauma in *SSSS.DYNAZENON*. Dynazenon itself was originally a jade dragon ornament with preternatural powers within entrusted to Gauma by the princess of a Chinese nation he and his fellow Kaiju Eugenicists used to serve, having foreseen her love's temporary revival in modern era and that she knew he would need it not just to stop his former comrades' destructive crusade against humanity, but also to make his second life on the land of the living worthwhile through bonding with those whom he shared the power with.

By the end of the series, Dynazenon fell into possession of Gridknight Alliance who bring it to Computer World alongside Goldburn.

## Appearance

Dynazenon is a red, gray, and golden massive mecha consisted of four smaller vehicles; a humanoid dragon-themed core robot called Dynasoldier, a rectangular race car with proportionately large wheels Dynastriker, a fighter jet Dynawing, and a submarine with double propellers Dynadiver. They can be shrunk into toy-sized when not needed.

When Gauma received Dynazenon from his beloved princess, it originally appears as an unassuming yet beautifully made Chinese dragon ornament.

In its default humanoid configuration, Dynasoldier forms the head and upper chest, while Dynastriker the arms, Dynawing breastplate and helmet, and Dynadiver the legs. As Dynarex, on the other hand, Dynasoldier forms the head, chest, and clawed arms; Dynadiver lower body and legs, Dynawing head crest and wings, and Dynastriker the bulky tail.

## History

### Background

The dragon ornament that would become Dynazenon was among treasures placed into Gauma's tomb by his lover, a princess from the Chinese county he used to serve alongside his fellow Kaiju Eugenicists, sometime after his funeral. The princess did so because she had foreseen his brief revival in the distant future and that he would need all the help he could get to stop his former comrades' destructive quest against humanity in addition of ensuring her lover would remember the third important thing she taught to him along the way.

As hinted by Juuga's claim of Dynazenon being from the same era as he and his cohorts originally lived in not unlike Kaiju under their control, it can be inferred that like the latter, the combining mecha was the byproduct of technological advancement of the ancient civilization Kaiju Eugenicists affiliated with. Both Dynazenon and Kaiju Seed were superweapons developed with aid of knowledge attained by peering into the distant future (approximately 20000 years after the present day) via. preternatural gift to transcend life, death, time, and space — an ability that later christened as Power of the Kaiju. However, Dynazenon was discarded in favor of Kaiju Seeds, leading it to somehow made its way to Gauma's lover.

### Gridman the Hyper Agent

Gauma's mummified husk is later transported to Sakuragaoka museum alongside his relics, including Dynazenon in its dragon ornament form. When Yuka attempts to appeal the mummy's humanity within during his rampage resulted from Mecha Bagira hacking the machines hooked into his mummified body, she returns the dragon ornament to him all while revealing the fate of his beloved princess. As she does, Gridman defeats Mecha Bagira with Dragonic Cannon, putting Gauma's undead form back to rest. Despite completely under Mecha Bagira's control at the time, Gauma would remember Yuka's message clearly, leading him to reclaim the artifact alongside a dragon coin shortly after his actual revival later on.

### SSSS.DYNAZENON

Upon his second resurrection, this time thanks to the power of Kaiju he had since severed from his very being, Gauma reclaims the dragon ornament and brought it with him wherevee he goes inside a small bag along with a dragon coin, another treasure that buried alongside him. Unable to control the rampaging Shalbandes with his Instance Domination, Gauma decides to use the dragon ornament instead to combat the behemoth somehow just as the artifact begins to shine. To his surprise, the artifact turns into a giant robot that proceeds to bring him, Yomogi, Yume, and Koyomi nearby into their respective cockpit within with its system introduces itself as Dynazenon. Impressed, he proceeds to pilot the newly materialized mecha and succeeds in defeating the Kaiju despite it being his first time in doing so, but not without unlocking its Dynarex configuration when he and his new friends faced a brief disadvantage.

After the battle, the combining mecha dematerializes, revealing its components' toy forms. Gauma entrusts Yomogi, Yume, and Koyomi with Dynasoldier, Dynawing, and Dynastriker respectively and arranges the schedule for their meetings in which they learn how to master their respective Dynazenon component.

* **Speed and Flight**: Thanks to thrusters on its back and legs, Dynazenon can fly and boost itself for extra agility or increasing the output of its melee blows.
* **Dyna Saber** (ダイナセイバー, *Daina Seibā*): Derived from Dynastriker's Energy Ram ability, Dynazenon can unfold red plates that forms Dynastriker's front wings on each hands to generate energy blades to deflect attacks with or perform melee strikes.
	+ **Big Blade Strike** (ビッグブレードストライク, *Biggu bureedo sutoraiku*): Activating both Dyna Sabers, Dynazenon puts it's hands together, which in turns forms a single, larger beam blade, then proceeds to slash the enemy down.
* **Ranged Weapons**:
	+ **Penetrator Gun** (ペネトレーターガン, *Penetorētā Gan*): Shoulder cannons derived from Dynawing's Energy Guns. Fires yellow destructive beams. Yume originally called these beams as "**Something Beam**" (何とかビーム, *Nantoka bīmu*).
	+ **Finger Guns**: A weapon derived from Dynastriker's Energy Guns which form Dynazenon's fingers. It can fire continuous yellow energy bursts.
	+ **Minigun Wheels**: Dynastriker's wheels can be deployed to fire yellow energy bursts like minigun.
	+ **Dyna Launcher: Burst Missile** (ダイナランチャー・バーストミサイル, *Daina Ranchā: Bāsuto Misairu*): Dynazenon can utilize Dynadiver's missile launchers to deploy burst missiles.
* **Dynazenon Full Burst** (ダイナゼノンフルバースト, *Dainazenon Furu Bāsuto*): A finishing move where Dynazenon fires all of its ranged weapons (which includes the Penetrator Guns, Dyna Launcher and gatling cannons formed from the arm-mounted wheels) at once with sufficient firepower to destroy a kaiju.
* **Burst Missile Kick** (バーストミサイルキック, *Bāsuto Misairu Kikku*): A powerful kick where Dynazenon's leg bombards the opponent with Burst Missiles, making it difficult for them to evade before the actual kick connects.

**Super Dragon Dynarex** (合体強竜ダイナレックス, *Gattai Gouryū Dainarekkusu*) is Dynazenon's alternate combination. Its overall parameters are greatly enhanced than those of its default humanoid configuration.

* **Speed and Flight**: Dynarex is much faster than its humanoid configuration, with wings serves to provide extra boost and flight.
* **Claws, Teeth, and Tails:**: In addition of sharp claws to attack enemies with, Dynarex can also use its powerful jaw to bite through the enemy's durable hide and throw them around and sturdy tail for delivering devastating blows.
	+ **Rex Fang** (レックスファング, *Rekkusu Fangu*): A chomp attack with Dyna Rex's powerful jaws.
* **Energy Guns**: Dynarex is armed with a pair of rapid-firing energy guns within its jaws.

**Dynasoldier Wing Combine** (ダイナソルジャーウィングコンバイン, *Daina Sorujaa Uingu Konbain*) is a partial combination where Dynawing attaches itself onto Dynasoldier's back, granting it greater flight and aerial combat capabilities.

* **Speed and Flight**: Thanks to Dynawing that acts as sort of jetpack, Dynasoldier can fly at high speeds and soar through the skies with ease as well as quick enough to evade attacks.

**Dynasoldier Striker Combine** (ダイナソルジャーストライカーコンバイン, *Daina Sorujaa Sutoraikā Konbain*) is a partial combination where Dynastriker attaches to Dynasoldier's arms as sort of oversized fists/arm cannons. While this endows Dynasoldier devastating firepower and hovering capabilities, the oversized fists/arm cannons' weight greatly imbalances Dynasoldier to the point of it barely able to stand.

* **Striker Storm Alpha** (ストライカーストームアルファ, *Sutoraikaa Sutoomu Arufa*): A salvo of charged fiery beams projected from Dynastriker's right wheels.
* **Striker Storm Beta** (ストライカーストームベータ, *Sutoraikaa Sutoomu Beeta*): A salvo of charged fiery beams projected from Dynastriker's left wheels.

**Dynasoldier Diver Combine** (ダイナソルジャーダイバーコンバイン, *Daina Sorujaa Daibā Konbain*) is a partial combination where Dynasoldier grabs hold of a pair of flipped-out yellow handles in front of the Dyna Launchers, which allows the robot to ride atop Dynadiver, allowing Dynasoldier to be transported across water.

## Trivia

* Unlike its Assist Weapon counterpart Dyna Dragon Ippei Baba created in *Denkou Choujin Gridman*, the posture of Dynazenon's theropod dinosaur configuration leaned more to Tyrannosaurus' 2000s reconstruction instead of 1900s one despite leaning more to dragon motif-wise. Another difference is that Dynazenon's base form being a humanoid one instead of a massive aircraft.
	+ Its controller takes the same appearance as joystick utilized by Ippei Baba and Yuka Inoue to control Gridman's Assist Weapons in the same series.
	+ The symbol on the background during Access Mode scenes greatly resembles that of visual graphic of Gridman's P-L68060X enlargement program. Though merely coincidence, both Dynazenon components' size-changing ability and the aforementioned program arguably worked in similar manner.
	+ The group's battle cry, "Battle Go", was same as Yuka Inoue's own when piloting Dyna Dragon.
	+ Dynasoldier's cannon mode, Dynamic Cannon, is both homage and counterpart to Dyna Dragon's Dragonic Cannon.
* Dynazenon appears to possess some measure of sapience along with adaptive ability it demonstrates when the situation calls for it.
	+ When Gauma calls upon its power for the first time, Dynazenon sheds away its original dragon ornament form to unveil its current, combining mecha one that has two configurations (standard humanoid and winger theropod-like Dyna Rex). During the summoning process at the time, it claimed him alongside Yomogi, Yume, and Koyomi as its new pilots on its own.
	+ Dynazenon allows Chise to pilot one of its components (Dynasoldier) in the events of its original pilot, Yomogi, unable to do so.
	+ When Yomogi enlarges Dynasoldier in order to fight alongside Anti/Knight aka. Gridknight, Dynasoldier suddenly unveils its cannon form Dynamic Cannon for Gridknight to use. Similarly, all components of Dynazenon alongside Goldburn later develop the ability to form a powered suit of armor about Gridknight as part of his Kaiser Gridknight combination, a feat not unlike Gridman with his Assist Weapons Dyna Dragon, God Zenon, and Powered Zenon.
	+ After being brought to Computer World, Dynazenon, as Dyna Rex, reactivates and turns to the direction of Knight and The 2nd, apparently recognizing the two as its new master after Gauma's passing.

* Use of Dyna Soldier as a shoulder-mounted Dynamic Cannon upon Kaiser Gridknight was a feature of a *Playmates* brand toy produced in 1994 for *Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad*. Their action figure of the "Superhuman Samurai Phormo" version of Servo allowed the user to reconfigure the toy in this manner.
* Dynasoldier's appearance as a humanoid Kaiju foreshadows its pilots' connection with Kaiju in some form:
	+ Yomogi was revealed to be born with Power of the Kaiju only to forsake it in favor of bonds he made with others.
	+ Chise has a Kaiju seed in her person which warped into a sentient wyvern mecha Goldburn that, alongside Dynazenon, can assemble around Gridknight into a powered armor due to exposure to her feelings of loneliness as well as strong desire to help her friends and cousin in any way she could.
