**Getter Robo** (ゲッターロボ, *Gettā Robo*?) is a large anti-kaiju fighting machine developed by the Saotome Institute and piloted by the Getter Team trio of Ryoma Nagare, Hayato Jin and Benkei Kuruma, each piloting three individual jets that combine into the super robot. Later on, these jets were heavily modified to become bigger and stronger to form the upgraded and more powerful **Shin Getter Robo**, (真ゲッターロボ, *Shin Gettā Robo*?) which makes its first appearance in the *Mahou Kaiju Series* during the last third of the TV anime *The Hows of Me and Liliana*, where it saw use again after several years by Ryoma who was revealed prior to be the protagonist Tatsuya Nagare's father.

## Background

### Several Years Ago

After Musashi Tomoe sacrificed his life by attaching a jammed Getter-powered nuclear missile on a fighter jet and flying towards the Dinosaur Empire's assault base on Earth to put an end to the invasion and threat on the surface world, the Hyakki Empire emerged. Around the same time, a new set of jets that could combined into the new Getter Robo G were developed to substitute the old Getter jets that were damaged during the fighting and set to be repaired and upgraded. At some point, Getter Dragon was severely damaged in the ensuing fight against the Hyakki Empire, which prompted the Getter Team to use their latest and strongest machine yet, the Shin Getter Robo.

* **Getter Beam** (ゲッタービーム, *Gettā Bīmu*?) –
* **Stoner Sunshine** (ストナーサンシャイン, *Sutonā Sanshain*?) –
* **Shin Shine Spark** (シャインスパーク, *Shin Shain Supāku*?) –

Stoner Sunshine

#### Combination Attacks

* **Double Getter Beam** (ダブルゲッタービーム, *Daburu Gettā Bīmu*?) – Shin Getter Robo and Shin Getter Dragon can both simultaneously fire their concentrated Getter Beams at their foe for greater firepower.
* **Double Shine Spark** (ダブルシャインスパーク, *Daburu Shain Supāku*?) –
* **Final Dynamic Special** (ファイナルダイナミックスペシャル, *Fainaru Dainamikku Supesharu*?) – Getter Robo's most powerful combination attack, teaming up with Mazinger Z (or Mazinkaiser), Great Mazinger, Grendizer, Jeeg and Gaiking in a simultaneous all-out assault on the enemy. First off, Gaiking and Jeeg would encircle the opponent and attack it with Death Fire and Spin Storm respectively, creating a massive twister of flames that lifts it up. Afterwards, Mazinger, Great and Grendizer would fly up and gather around the twister to fire their Breast Fire (or Fire Blaster in Mazinkaiser's case), Thunder Break and Space Thunder respectively at their enemy. Then, Getter Robo would let out a Getter Beam to deal even more damage. If Shin Getter is involved, the combination attack would continue and finish off with a special Stoner Sunshine, merged with the ranged signature attacks of the other robots, to obliterate the opponent, followed by a massive multi-megaton explosion.
	+ **Shin Final Dynamic Special** (真ファイナルダイナミックスペシャル, *Shin Fainaru Dainamikku Supesharu*?) – A much more powerful version, this time with each robot's stronger upgrades, Shin Getter Robo, Great Mazinkaiser, Mazinger ZERO, Grendi-Caesar, Steel God Jeeg and Gaiking the Great respectively. The process involved in the combination attack is largely the same as the regular one, but far more powerful and can instantly destroy or at least deal catastrophic damage to entire planets and god-like or cosmic beings.
