Gear Dump Robo

The TMR-03GB Gear Dump (ギアダンプ) is a transport that is part of Machine Robo Rescue.

It is the transport unit for the Yellow Gears team and is normally piloted by Sayuri Suizenji and Ken Minami. Its' vehicle mode is modelled on a dumper truck and can travel over numerous surfaces. It can be converted into Gear Dump Robo (ギアダンプロボ) to use its' tremendous physical strength, but this is an arduous process requiring two people to physically turn a pair of wheels.

Emergency Launch DX

• Gear Dump Robo (2003)
  • Accessories:

Gear Dump Robo was released in Bandai's Machine Robo Rescue toyline in April 2003, and converts from robot to dumper truck mode. In vehicle mode Gear Dump Robo can carry Drill Robo in a compartment behind the grill and the Bulldozer Robo in the bucket on the back. Gear Dump is decidedly different from the other transports, with a simpler robot mode and transformation, and a notably simpler way of storing Supporter Robo, who just connect to posts in the bucket. The arms involve parts forming, with the bucket simply detaching and splitting in half before plugging into the sides of the cab. On the plus side he has big grabby hands. The toy retailed at ¥4980.

• Like the rest of Machine Robo Rescue, Gear Dump Robo was not released outside of Japan.

• Supplemental material gives the Gear Dump's length as 24.8m, width as 16.4m, height as 12m and weight as 398t. In Gear Dump Robo mode it is 22.2m tall.
• Like the other transports, despite having a robot mode Wing Liner Robo doesn't show any particular signs of sentience, even compared to the Supporter Robo. It never speaks or shows any sign of independent action.
• As with Siren Galley Robo and Wing Liner Robo, Gear Dump Robo isn't mentioned in the 'future' episodes concluding the show.
