Power Rangers' Original Megazord Joins Super Robot Wars X-Ω

The official website for Bandai Namco Entertainment's Super Robot Wars X-Ω smartphone game revealed on Tuesday that it will add the original Daizyujin (known as Megazord and retroactively as Dino Megazord in English) from Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, the series adapted into the first season of Saban's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The robot will be available for a limited time as part of an event in the game in May. Megazord's appearance will mark the first time that a robot from the Super Sentai franchise or any live-action special-effects television series is available in the game.

To mark the announcement, the game's official Twitter account is holding a campaign from April 26 to May 26. People who follow the account and retweet the campaign tweet will be eligible to receive a Soul of Chogokin Daizyujin toy, which will go on sale in Japan on April 29.

The website also announced that characters and mecha from Getter Robo Go and Jūsō Kikō Dancouga Nova will appear in the game as part of the event.

Mujin Gattai Kisaragi and Harukaiser from The IDOLM@STER anime appeared as part of a limited-time event in February. The game also added Kantam Robo from the Crayon Shin-chan television anime series last year as a limited-time offer.
