This article is about a Mecha in Chouriki Sentai Ohranger. |
- "Red Puncher, go!"
- ―Announcement[src]
Red Puncher (レッドパンチャー Reddo Panchā): A humanoid robot built as the predecessor of Ohranger Robo.
Overview[]
Red Puncher is summoned by the command "Red Puncher, come!" where it is launched from the U.A.O.H. headquarters by means of a specially designed cannon. An extremely powerful mecha, Red Puncher was taken by U.A.O.H.'s Lt. Kirino to intercept a squadron of Baranoia Takonpa fighters before being fully completed, resulting in the mech going berserk which led to both the death of its pilot and Red Puncher itself being buried underground. Despite Chief Miura's insistence that Red Puncher remain buried, OhRed released it after Ohranger Robo was badly damaged in battle with Bara Builder and, after receiving a vision from Lt. Kirino, managed to master it. Afterward, Red Puncher was put into active service and served as the Ohrangers' primary defense against giant Machine Beasts until Ohranger Robo was fully repaired, after which it became an auxiliary mech, later fighting alongside the OhBlocker.
As a melee fighter, Red Puncher is equipped with piston arms that greatly increase the impact of its punches. Attacks include:
- Star Visor Blast: Star-shaped energy blasts fired from Red Puncher's visor. Usually performed while in flight.
- Puncher Gatling (パンチャーガトリング Panchā Gatoringu): Red Puncher's first finishing move, which is a barrage of energy blasts fired from the cannons encircling Red Puncher's forearms.
- Magna Puncher (マグナパンチャー Maguna Panchā): Red Puncher's second finishing move which OhRed learned after training with OhGreen's former boxing coach where Red Puncher launches himself spinning at an opponent to deliver an energized 1-2-3 punch.
Near the finale, Red Puncher was captured by Baranoia but was later freed by Gunmazin. OhRed then uses it in the final battle against Kaiser Buldont and Multiwa.

- ―Combination announcement[src]
Buster Ohranger Robo (バスターオーレンジャーロボ Basutā Ōrenjā Robo): With the command "Super-Assault Combination!" (超砲撃合体! Chōhōgeki Gattai!) Red Puncher and Ohranger Robo combine to form Buster Ohranger Robo, with Red Puncher's head fitting over Ohranger Robo's as the "Buster Head" (バスターヘッド Basutā Heddo). Buster Ohranger Robo uses the two cannons on its shoulders to destroy Machine Beasts with its Big Cannon Burst (ビッグキャノンバースト Biggu Kyanon Bāsuto) finisher. Although powerful, the Buster Ohranger Robo suffers a large decrease in overall mobility due to the combination doubling its bulk, leaving it reliant on its firepower.

Notes[]
- Red Puncher's general design is influenced by boxers, with the gold engravings across his waist reminiscent of a championship belt. Its piston-fueled punches reference the comparison of a boxer's punching power to a machine.
