Rescue Combination[edit | edit source]

  • Fire Robo (2003)
    • ID number: 04
    • Accessories: none
Fire Robo was released in Bandai's Machine Robo Rescue toyline in February 2003, and converts from robot to fire engine mode. The toy was packed with four near-identical Aider Robo Supporter Robo, which can combine with the robot mode to form Hyper Fire Robo. The robot mode head is styled on a firefighter's traditional 'Napoleonic' helmet. Only the number on the chest of each Support Robo is different, but they are designed so that either can form an arm or a leg for the Hyper Mode. Due to the line's emphasis on compatibility these can be switched with any other Supporter Robo. Fire Robo has articulation at the shoulders. The set retailed at ¥2500. Fire Robo was later recoloured as BL Fire Robo.
  • Like the rest of Machine Robo Rescue, Fire Robo was not released outside of Japan.
