Siren Galley Robo
The TMR-02SG Siren Galley (サイレンギャリー) is a transport that is part of Machine Robo Rescue.
It is the transport unit for the Blue Sirens team and is normally piloted by Alice Beckham with Tsuyoshi or Susumu Utada (but usually Tsuyoshi). Its' vehicle mode is modelled on a police truck and can travel over numerous surfaces. It can be converted into Siren Galley Robo (サイレンギャリーロボ) to use its' tremendous physical strength, but this is an arduous process requiring two people to physically turn a pair of wheels. It also has a head smaller than the chances of you signing up for YouTube Premium.

Machine Robo Rescue cartoon[edit | edit source]
When a police chase escalated into a multiple vehicle accident, Alice drove the Police Team to the scene in Siren Galley. Straight Ahead to the Police Spirit! It was again deployed to take the team into action to help the search for Laura, a cat belonging to a boy named Hideki who had the good fortune to run into Sayuri Suizenji, leading to her persuading the cadets and the full bevy of Machine Robo to help in the search. Emergency! Enter Battalion Siren Galley was called into action when all three teams were scrambled to deal with the eruption of Kaga Mountain, unloading the Police Team and then helping in the evacuation. Aim to be a Robo Master! Along with the Police and Gyro Teams, Siren Galley was tasked with following the new Takion high-speed train on its' maiden voyage. However, the train was hijacked by The Boss and her gang of two, who tried to extort it with a fake bomb threat. Makoto soon dealt with them only to find out that the bomb - supplied by Jay - was real after all and would go off if the train's speed dropped. To give Susumu time to disable it Taiyoh located a nearby circular test track; in order to get the Takion onto the line Alice and Tsuyoshi converted Siren Galley to robot mode. The giant Siren Galley Robo was then able to lift the track and physically divert the train onto the loop, giving Susumu time to defuse the explosives. Arise!

A Siren Galley transformation simulator was among the exercises present in Professor Tōru Suidōbashi's Hyper Disaster Prevention House, though he was unimpressed by the time it took for Alice and Tsuyoshi took to carry out the conversion.

However, the island was soon revealed to just be a shell around the powerful body of Kaiser-G. Activate, Kaiser-G!

- Siren Galley Robo (Machine Robo, 2003)
- Accessories: none
- Siren Galley Robo was released in Bandai's Machine Robo Rescue toyline in 2003, and converts from robot to truck and base modes. In vehicle mode Siren Galley Robo can carry Police Robo and the Bike Robo internally, and the cab can detach. As a result the polite way to describe the robot mode is "boxy". The toy retailed at ¥5980.
- Like the rest of Machine Robo Rescue, Siren Galley Robo was not released outside of Japan.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- Supplemental material gives the Siren Galley's length as 35.2m, width as 8.6m, height as 10.4m and weight as 422t. In Siren Galley Robo mode it is 24m tall.
- Like the other transports, despite having a robot mode Siren Galley Robo doesn't show any particular signs of sentience, even compared to the Supporter Robo. It never speaks, and indeed only appears in robot mode twice in the entire series.
- As with Wing Liner Robo and Gear Dump Robo, Siren Galley Robo isn't mentioned in the 'future' episodes concluding the show.
