6Produced in 1993 by Creator/{{Sunrise}} and funded by Tomy as the final part of the Eldoran Trilogy, ''Nekketsu Saikyo Gosaurer'' ("''Ultimate Hot-Blooded Go-Saurer''") starts off like the other parts of the series.
7
8[[RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude A group of elementary school children]] are selected by the Warrior of Light and Guardian of Earth, Eldoran, to protect Earth from the advances of the Kikaika Empire (or, "Mechanizing Empire"), who seek to mechanize Earth, as they have already done the same to the majority of the Solar System. This time, Eldoran selects an entire classroom of these children and gives them the power of the legendary Dinosaurs in HumongousMecha form, giving the ''whole class'' robots and distinct roles in battle...while the adults are again pushed to the sidelines and forced to watch as the kids make mincemeat out of TheEmpire's different bosses and their various assortment of [[MonsterOfTheWeek Kikaikajuu]] ("Mechanized Beast).

10But it's not easy, as after all, they are sixth-graders that are on the doorsteps of adolescence, and coming-of-age related problems are going to arise and add to their already burdensome task of defending the Earth.
11
12What ensues is not only a very HotBlooded SuperRobot show, with interesting {{Transformation Sequence}}s and brilliant mechanical designs; but a heartwarming coming of age story, with the familiar instances of LampshadeHanging thrown in for good measure.

15!!Tropes:
16
17* AcademyOfAdventure: ''The School itself transforms into the dinobots.'' RuleOfCool in its maxed-out state it is.
18* AdultsAreUseless: Played astonishingly straighter than its predecessor, ''Anime/ZettaiMutekiRaijinOh''; as most of the adults here are not much concerned about the children as they are about themselves, some of them even edging into [[TheNeidermeyer Neidermeyer]] territory.
19* ByThePowerOfGrayskull
20* CallingYourAttacks
21* CombiningMecha
22* {{Expy}}: King Gosaurer's "Armored" form, Gakuenger, which uses the rest of the school as an armor for King Gosaurer, resembles the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory GP-01 Gundam Zephyranthes Full Vernian]].
23* EvilKnockoff: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-bzDUujLWU Dark King Gosaurer]], made to deal with King Gosaurer, and its individual components are much stronger than King Gosaurer's. Also WouldHurtAChild because the damages it can do to King Gosaurer can hurt the classmates inside it!
24* HotBlooded: The majority of the class. Suprisingly, the nerd Youjii, and the "calmer" children can be more hot-blooded than the KidHero Kenichi to some degree. That being said, these kids could make [[Manga/GetterRobo Ryouma Nagare]] shed ManlyTears of pride.
25* HumongousMecha
26* JumpedAtTheCall: Suprisingly, in an early episode, all of the kids in the class agree unanimously on this; including a NiceJobBreakingItHero moment for good measure.
27* MonsterOfTheWeek: In the style of its [[Anime/ZettaiMutekiRaijinOh prede]][[Anime/GenkiBakuhatsuGanbaruger cessors]], the Kikaikajuu. They take on several hilarious yet awesome forms, such as the Flashlight Kikaikajuu.
28* ShoutOut:
29** A subtle one to ''Manga/GetterRobo'' to start off Go-Saurer's first combination.
30--->When there's three robots, they can combine! It's common sense!
31** This series seems to be a love letter to Franchise/SuperSentai; not only in style, but it bears similarities to ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'', which aired at around the same time, specifically, the last few episodes of the latter.
32* TransformationSequence: See AcademyOfAdventure.
33* UnwillingRoboticisation: The Kikaika Empire's primary objective. [[spoiler: It happened to Kenichi once.]]
