->''"Special Rescue Police Winspector": with a love of peace and faith in friendship, they fight crime head-on to protect the lives of innocent people. This is the "Metropolitan Police Special Emergency Unit"!''

''Tokkei Winspector'' ("Special Rescue Police Winspector") is the ninth entry in the ''Series/MetalHeroes'' franchise, airing from 1990-1991. It was the first of its ''Rescue Heroes'' trilogy, followed by ''Series/TokkyuuShireiSolbrain'' and ''Series/TokusouExceedraft''.

TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, the continuing advancement of technology has created new and dangerous ways for criminals to carry out their nefarious acts. Yet with this escalation comes a new generation of law enforcement: "Winspector", an elite rescue and anti-terrorism task force who use cutting-edge technology as a force for good.

The leading operative of Winspector is Ryoma Kagawa. Codenamed "Fire", he can equip the Crashtector PowerArmor [[HourOfPower for a limited period of time]] to face any danger on equal footing. Alongside his [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots two robot sidekicks]], "Bikel" and "Walter", the trio fight to protect innocent lives from whatever threatens them. Uniquely for such a show, there is no central villain or BigBad; rather, ''Winspector'' paces itself as an [[CopShow episodic serial]].

----
!!Recurring ''Metal Hero'' tropes include:
* BigBad: Averted, for there is no main villain organization to speak of; Winspector fights "ordinary" high-tech crime and saves lives. There's a crime involving mad science (such as robots, giant birds, etc.) that would require the involvement of {{Toku}} heroes, always with a normal human behind this week's chaos - and there's no central figure that put them up to it, equipped them, or anything. Winspector is part {{Rescue}} and part super cops, though the threats they face are as dangerous as any other series' MonsterOfTheWeek.
* {{BFG}}: The [[GatlingGood Gigastreamer]], introduced to provide a MoreDakka solution to an [[AIIsACrapshoot unusually tough robot.]] It fires 60 plasma rounds per second and can blow away an M1 Abrams in 5 seconds at full power, with an ''absurd'' amount of recoil in exchange.
* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: "Jack Up!" ("''Chakka''", "Equip")
* CoolBike: Bikel has a wheel in his chest and can use it to scoot around on the ground, but the obvious problems inherent in this (he can't turn) leads to him getting his own bike, the Winchaser.
* CoolCar: Fire's Win Squad, later upgraded to be able to reform itself into the armored Fire Squad. This car itself is a modified Chevrolet Camaro which is also a Cool Car in its own right.
* LaserBlade: Fire's Max Caliber functions as this. In a bit of a subversion, it's a [[BladeBelowTheShoulder gauntlet]] and more of an emergency rescue tool than a finishing weapon.
* TransformationSequence: Ryoma's Crashtector armor is located in his car, which he has to enter and give the command to equip ("''Chakka!''"), at which point it appears around him instantaneously -- he enters the car as Ryoma and gets out as Fire. This becomes a plot point necessitating the [[CoolCar Win Squad's]] upgrade, as a crime syndicate wises up and targets the car.

!!''Tokkei Winspector'' features examples of the following tropes:
* BifurcatedWeapon: The Gigastreamer is designed to combine with Fire's Max Caliber for [[GatlingGood Maxim Mode]]. (This was probably intended as a safety and a means to absorb some of its recoil.)
* BlindIdiotTranslation: May have happened with a certain function on Winspector's standard sidearm, which has an extinguisher setting. Problem is, this mode is called the "Digestive Beam", with the likely cause being that the words for "Digestion" and "Extinguish" are homonyms in Japanese -- "Shouka".
* BookEnds: [[spoiler:Both the first and last episodes involve Winspector dealing with the same MadScientist Dr. Kuroda Onikichi and his killer android R-24.]]
* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Bikel speaks with a Nagoya accent. At least one robot was unable to understand him as a result. Turns out that this is because his programmer speaks that dialect. (When said programmer shows up, he's played by the voice actor.)
* LawOfInverseRecoil
** Averted and exaggerated a bit with the [[GatlingGood Gigastreamer Maxim Mode]]. The recoil is considerably more than average and it has a ''steep'' learning curve. Also, the vibrations may accidentally kill the user a little bit if fired without wearing protective armor. (And remember, it's actually an ''energy weapon''.)
** In general, the show played this straight with small arms and averted it with recoiless weapons.
* PoweredArmor: The Crashtector[[note]][[SpellMyNameWithAnS the actual word is rendered as "Classtector", though]][[/note]] armor is this, capable of strength up to 30 times that of a normal human while also being able to shrug off ''missiles''. It's self-sealed and can protect its wearer from gas and oxygen deprivation -- but this means that the wearer's always sweating when they take it off.
* {{Rescue}}: Part of Winspector's mission statement, and a major change of focus as a ''Series/MetalHeroes'' show. As such, they're lacking in heavy offensive weaponry until Fire gets the [[GatlingGood Gigastreamer]], but are perfectly capable of taking a hit.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Bikel, so much that people who just jump in without knowing the characters may think he's a guy in TwentyFourHourArmor. Walter does have his moments, but they're not as frequent as Bikel's.
* RobotBuddy: Bikel and Walter. They end up getting one of their own, in the form of Demitasse.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Bikel/Bikhael/Bichael. This caused enough of a problem for the fansubber Sailor Otaku, that he simply went for the official spelling (as seen in the show).
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Set in the year 1999.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Of the HourOfPower sort -- because of how much stress the Crashtector puts on the wearer's body, it has a five minute time limit. This can be exceeded, but only at the risk of injury. It's also designed for Ryoma's body only, meaning that no-one can easily take his place if he's, say, in the hospital.
* ThemeTuneRollCall:
-->Fire, Red!\\
Bikel, Yellow!\\
Walter, Green!
* TheWorfEffect: If a threat is more than Bikel and Walter can handle, expect them to get knocked away easily. However, even ''Ryoma himself'' is subjected to this sometimes.
