Great Five (グレートファイブ, Gurēto Faibu) is the main Giant Robo of the Maskmen in Hikari Sentai Maskman.

Overview

A giant robot formed from five piece components when the command Fusion! Five Cross! (合体! ファイブクロス, Gattai! Faibu Kurosu!) is given. In the Philippine Dub, it was renamed as Maskman Five and its command during the formation of the Great Five is also renamed as Maskman Five! Unite!. Built by Commander Sanjuurou Sugata, Great Five has the ability to channel the Aura power of the Maskmen for its attacks. Its primary weapon is the Photo Electron Riser (光電子ライザー, Kōdenshi Raizā) sword which it uses to destroy giant monsters with its Final Aura Burst (ファイナルオーラバースト, Fainaru Ōra Bāsuto) slash. In the Philippine Dub, the sword is renamed as Mega Laser Blade and its finishing attack is not named but instead the group will say Victory Go! rather than Red Mask who only spoke to its finishing attack. Its other weapons are the Five Shield (ファイブシールド, Faibu Shīrudo), formed from Masky Jet's wings which also stores the sword, the Gyro Cutter (ジャイロカッター, Jairo Kattā) boomerang formed from the Masky Gyro's rotors on its right arm, and the Great Gun (グレートガン, Gurēto Gan) hand blaster formed from Masky Drill's Drill beam. When not needed, the Great Gun is mounted on its right hip. In the Philippine Dub, the Great Gun is renamed as Trigger Magnum. Great Five can also collect Aura Power within its hand to perform a God Hand-like move similar to Takeru. The toy version is referred as Lightspeed Fusion Great Five (光速合体 グレートファイブ, Kōsoku Gattai Gurēto Faibu).

When the Great Five defeated the monster Cranium Doggler in episode 20 (without Pink Mask), it made a trap in the ground that trapped it underground, forcing the Maskmen to abandon it. When the Maskmen tried to recover it in episode 22, the monster Kimen Doggler split his other head and attached it onto the robot to take it over. After the Galaxy Robo destroyed Kimen Doggler's, the Maskmen were able to retake it.

Gokaiger

When GokaiOh and Gosei Great faced the Black Cross Colossus, the mecha of the first 33 Super Sentai, including Great Five which possibly manifested from a toy version like DaiDenzin and the Variblune, appeared to back them up. When the Black Cross Colossus summoned several giant villains to oppose them, Great Five fought alongside GekiTouja and Bio Robo to destroy Buredoran of the Comet. After all the giant villains were destroyed, all 35 mecha weakened Black Cross Colossus with a combined attack before GokaiOh combined with the Variblune to become Goren GokaiOh which destroyed the Black Cross Colossus with the Gokai Hurricane: Cassiopeia finisher. With the battle won, the 33 past Super Sentai mecha vanished. TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
