''Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain'' is the ninth entry in the ''Series/MetalHeroes'' franchise, airing from 1991-1992. It is the second of its ''Rescue Heroes'' trilogy.

After the Winspector team leaves Japan to fight crime in France following the finale, Masaki Shunsuke creates a new team, named Solbrain, to continue Winspector's duty to take out crime and disaster when it strikes the city. The new heroes Daiki, Reiko and [=SolDozer=] must always be on hand to stop all disasters.

!!The main heroes are:
* Daiki Nishio/'''[=SolBraver=]''': TheHero.
* Reiko Higuchi/'''[=SolJeanne=]''': TheHeart.
* '''[=SolDozer=]''': The lone RidiculouslyHumanRobot on the team; TheBigGuy.
* Ryoma Kagawa/'''[=KnightFire=]''': Formerly TheHero of Winspector, [[SixthRanger joins the team mid-series]] as TheLancer.

!!Recurring ''Metal Hero'' tropes include:
* BigBad: Towards the end, [[spoiler:Ryuichi Takaoka]] becomes a recurring character behind many schemes.
%% * ByThePowerofGrayskull: ''Plus Up!''
%% * CoolAirship: Solid State-1
* CoolCar: Daiki's Toyota Sera and Ryoma's Mazda RX-7. Don't forget Reiko's Toyota Previa minivan. All are customized for the show purposes.

!!''Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Downplayed compared to the previous show which frequently assured viewers it was 1999, but it can be assumed that is circa 2000.
%% * BigDamnHeroes: [=KnightFire=] tends to do this.
* CloseKnitCommunity: Episode 14 features one of these, dealing with the ramifications of a [[ActualPacifist model cop]] who refuses to shoot a youth he was acquainted with.[[note]]While similar cases are usually dealt with non-lethal tactics, even with someone being shot with a live weapon, it's in Japanese law enforcement training that suspects must be arrested at all times.[[/note]]
%% * CopShow
* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to its predecessor, there is a bigger amount of serious episodes and less comedy.
* FarEastAsianTerrorists: The Makimura sisters in "The Explosive ESP Sisters". They're a couple of (formerly) British-based terrorists who stole [=ESP9=] collars from MI:6 in order to use it to free their imprisoned father. The collars weaponize their [[SuperScream voices as supersonic waves]].
* {{Ghostapo}}: The episode "The Devil Whispers Death" has an actual ghost of a female SS officer, known simply as the "Woman of Riga", who also committed large-scale atrocities during the second World War in Nazi-occupied Latvia. Many people have lost their lives over it and they swore a curse upon her as they died. The officer is said to have died with Hitler in an underground bunker when Berlin fell, her spirit resides inside a portrait which was last located in a church in Riga. Her spirit influenced young women to tragically [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]] with some having grandfathers who were allies with Hitler. The spirit also possesses Ako Gunji and would battle Solbrain. At the end, they would then destroy the spirit and her portrait, putting an end of her reign of terror for good.
* LicensedGame: Notable for being a [[DolledUpInstallment reskinning]] of the original game ''VideoGame/{{Shatterhand}}''.
%% * TheMedic: [=SolJeanne=]
%% * PluckyComicRelief: Kamekichi and (to a lesser extent) [=SolDozer=], when the situation calls for it.
%% * {{Rescue}}
%% * StockFootage: Like last time, with the new addition of the [[CoolAirship SS-1]] being launched to fight fires.
%% * TransformingMecha: [=SolDozer=]
%% * WhamEpisode: Episode 34.
%% * YoungerThanTheyLook: [=SolDozer=], since he gets brought to life in the first few episodes and thus has the mindset of a child.
