Description China is continuing with their Sentai-like series with the third team now, Rescue Engine.  First was the mythological theme, then space, now vehicles.  This one's designs are pretty awesome, and I really wanted to make something new and not copy-n-paste and not a Kamen Rider.  Because the one/two things left in Ghost are boring and Drive's Kamen Rider Heart is horrendous looking. 

I guess per the title, the franchise is called Giant Saver, not Battle Strike Team.  I dunno, I kinda wish I knew the language but w/e.  We'll go with "Giant Saver" because that seems to be what some boxes describe the robos as, despite the fact that they ya know, destroy monsters.  So since that's the case, gonna have to rename my other pics. 
Red and White make one robo; Black and Yellow a second; and Blue has his own.  And of course, all five can combine to form a hodge-podge super robo.  It's kinda funny how now China has a neon-accented rescue-themed ranger team; Tomica Hero has a couple; but Toei still hasn't done a rescue team with neon accents.  Fingers crossed, a pure-vehicle rescue Sentai team would be very welcome.

Rescue Red.  Vehicle is a fire engine.
Rescue White.  Vehicle is an ambulance.
Rescue Yellow.  Vehicle is a construction vehicle.
Rescue Black.  Vehicle is a demolition/bomb disposal vehicle.
Rescue Blue.  Vehicle is a fighter jet. 

I really like the designs.  Especially the two-toned spandex coloring.  I dunno why, but it just looks really nice, especially on Red, Yellow, and Blue.  I kinda wish Black had a bit more of a grayer tone rather than black and slightly darker black (Archer turtlenecks!).  And it'd be nice if White's pink was a bit less bright, but hey; still great designs.  Their symbol is cool right in the center of the chest, and while they were difficult to make, the belt symbols are cool too.  The helmets are pretty awesome too, though again, black visor on black helmet with no division is kinda tough.  Also on the helmets, I like that their lights allude to a rank-type system, I like doing that myself.  Red also gets a power up later on, so I'll be making that eventually.  But for now, this core team is pretty cool to have done. 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a sixth because another color would be welcome; although I like the team's designs, I'm not a fan at all of the color combo, Red-Blue-Yellow-Black-White.  It is kinda funny that these teams seem to struggle with using just a pure yellow for the ranger as this one is more amber; Space Deleter's was kinda off gold; and the original was kinda de-saturated.


Everything here is my hard work. Please don't touch anything without permission. Thanks.

They are the third team in the Chinese Battle Strike Team franchise. 
2012's Giant Saver

2015's Space Deleter

They also made another series, called Armor Hero. It's kind of a cross between Power Rangers and Kamen Rider.
Armor Hero has been dubbed over a couple of times for YouTube.

Technically it's rescue team themed. Still, we've all(Yes myself included)been waiting for China to produce more of this series. The toys, from what I've heard, are amazing quality that puts Bandai to shame.

Taiko554 In reply to sentaifan101 [2016-11-10 17:08:58 +0000 UTC]

The toys do look pretty impressive.  Quality wise, I can't really speak to that, but Toei/Bandai/Sentai toys have been going for decades and have varying degrees of articulation and style bulk, so to say the whole of Bandai's Sentai robos are a lesser quality than this series'.

sentaifan101 In reply to Taiko554 [2016-11-10 18:03:35 +0000 UTC]

Actually, Bandai Japan is barely on par. But we all know that's not the case with Bandai America these days.

Taiko554 In reply to sentaifan101 [2016-11-10 20:01:50 +0000 UTC]

Again, I can't really speak to quality b/c I don't pay attention to toys.  I just think it's unfair to call one season's toys better than the whole of Bandai's many-year toylines.
All I know about Bandai America is that they do those super off-putting combiner multi-season zord swap abominations.  So literally anything/everything is better than that, I'll give there.

Now I'm wondering if South-Korea, Vietnam and Indonesia have thier own Sentai-like shows as well.

Also, the name of the franchise supposedly is Battle Strike Team.

Taiko554 In reply to VagoDelLago [2016-11-01 02:20:36 +0000 UTC]

See, that's what I thought as well.  But as I said in the description, the official toy boxes label things in English as 'Giant Saver', not 'Battle Strike Team'.

VagoDelLago In reply to Taiko554 [2016-11-01 02:28:57 +0000 UTC]

Strange, the Tokupedia and most people I see talking about it call the series Battle Strike team: Giant Saver/Space Deleter/Rescue Engine. But oh well.

Taiko554 In reply to VagoDelLago [2016-11-01 07:20:38 +0000 UTC]

Which is how I understood the series to be named until looking at pics for this new team.  But then I saw pics of toy boxes for this series where the plain-English name is clearly 'Giant Saver'.  Which, although I thought that only applied to the first series, must now apply to all as a whole. 

Who knows, maybe the next one will turn it around on me again and I'll just have to rename the pictures.

Looks incredible.

These Rangers has some interesting Rescue-motif. But I just think they have same color scheme as Gaoranger/Power Rangers Wild Force.

Taiko554 In reply to RedFalconRanger [2016-10-22 22:26:44 +0000 UTC]

Same color scheme, sure, but completely different looks.  Other Sentai teams had the same colors in their core, too.

Great work, man.  This really grabs all the details they got.  Way impressive.

Heh, a sixth would be pretty cool.  But y'know what I'd be crossing my fingers for?  An American company (even if not Saban) making a collab deal to bring these guys over to the states (even if not as Power Rangers).

Taiko554 In reply to Andruril93 [2016-10-22 19:33:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks.

Saban probably can't adapt other non-Toei series due to legal/contracting reasons.  Another company could, but probably wouldn't fair too well as the general public would see it as a PR-knockoff.

You got it.

Hmm, good point.  After all, at least as far as I know, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight only barely made the uhhh... "full-fledge cut" I guess you could say.  Even though it was cool.
I'd just honestly like to see someone try.

Taiko554 In reply to Andruril93 [2016-10-23 03:05:23 +0000 UTC]

I really wouldn't hold out hope of an adaptation.  A sub is a distant possibility; a dub even less; an English-speaking adaptation even less.

It's not the same characters though (and likely not the same canon storyline, though I'm not 100% on that), so why does it matter what's being driven?

Sentai/Power Rangers has gone through similar changes with mecha/robos; seems like a very odd issue to have, but w/e.
