Machine Robo
Patrol Car Robo is a heroic Machine Robo of the Battle Clan who turns into a Toyota Crown patrol car. Because of his robotic nature, Battle Robo does not need to breath oxygen. His weapon of choice is his Ionoid Supersonic Cannon. He sometimes pilots the MRP3 armor of Land Commander 5, which triples his strength and allows him to fly. He can also use the suit to combine into Land Commander 5.
