The Victory Walker is equipped with the Chemical Extinguishers. After forming the Victory Walker they form the Victory Robo, in which the Red Ladder forms the chest and arms and the Green Hover forms the head and upper back. This robot is equipped with extendable arms used in an attack called Rapid Ladder Bomber, where the arms extend and deliver long-range punches. Another attack the Victory Robo can execute is the Ladder Wheel Crash . Grand Liner. The is a group of five giant train cars that were designed to carry the 99 Machines into battle. After the Mars Machines were built, the Five Liner was loaded with the Mars Machines and hauled into space by the Max Shuttle in the formation for the GoGoFive to use the Victory Mars. The Five Liner was also modified to form their own giant robo, , via which is approximately 1.4 times taller than the Victory Robo. Normally powered by both the Five Liner and the 99 Machines stored in the cars, it was revealed in episode 20 that  without the 99 Machines, Grand Liner's operation time is limited to where it only has enough energy to fight for a short time. The robot has gatling weapons, as well as its and finishers (where the cannon weapons are transferred from the shoulders to the fists to provide additional power. The left shoulder cannon fires missiles, and the right cannon fires bullets) are the only weapons strong enough to pierce the hardened armor of the Golem Psyma Beasts. In the finale, the Grand Liner had his right arm torn apart, thus rendering it useless in the battle against the  Grandiene-possessed Zylpheeza and Salamandes. Liner Boy. The , modelled after a bullet train, was created by Mondo Tatsumi with some assistance from Kyouko. It had an A.I. unit, which allowed it to fight on autopilot.

When the command is given after collecting enough solar energy from space, the Max Liner's front wheel assemblies become the arms, the rear section becomes the legs, the nose becomes the back (revealing the head), , whilst the fender becomes the weapon, and the solar-panelled side  becomes the chest. This robot could combine with the Victory Robo to form the Max Victory Robo. Although the Liner Boy's body was destroyed in the finale by the Grandiene-possessed Zylpheeza and Salamandes Dragon, the A.I. unit survived the destruction. One of its attacks is the . Max Victory Robo. When the Victory Robo combines with the Max Shuttle it creates the with the command "3-5-6 V" in the V-Mode Brace and the vocal command of .

Another ability the Max Victory Robo has is an array of solar panels, which enables it to absorb power from explosions. In its finisher, Max Nova, it unleashes its rail-gun style hip cannons and combines the firepower from all of the Max Victory Robo's guns. In the finale, the Max Victory Robo was blown to pieces when Matoi moved it in the way of a blast shot by Zylpheeza and Salamandes to protect a flammable building, in which  Daimon and Matsuri just escaped from while rescuing a group of children inside.

The Yellow Mars 4 forms the Beetle Mars' left leg, which becomes the Victory Mars' own. Pink Mars 5 forms Beetle Mars' right leg, which becomes Victory Mars' own.

Max Victory Robo Black Version. is Mondo Tatsumi's final robot, which resembles the Max Victory Robo but is colored  black. This mecha is powered by the Tatsumi siblings' mental energy waves and has a sword that resembles the Victory Robo's Braver Sword, but its hilt has a red color rather than a blue color. It is used in the final episode by the GoGoFive to stop the Grandiene-possessed Zylpheeza and Salamandes, after the original Max Victory Robo was destroyed, and both the Victory Mars and Grand Liner were rendered useless. GoGoFive used this robot with the knowledge that, although they had supposedly lost their father, their mother is still alive, and they used this mental energy to  power up the sword which allowed them to emerge victorious over Grandiene.
