Machine Robo

Steam Robo is a heroic Machine Robo of the Battle Clan who turns into a train. He is a racer and warrior, but also enjoys relaxing with a good beverage. Because of his mechanoid nature Steam Robo does not need to breath oxygen and is resistant to cold, but is vulnerable to intense magnetic fields. His weapon of choice is an Oxidation Smoke Discharger.

Steam Robo's alternate mode is a JNR Class D51 locomotive, specifically the D 51 47, a locomotive preserved in Minami Park in Iwamizawa, Hokkaido.
