----

[[folder:Space Police Kaisers]]
!Tropes pertaining to all
* AliensAmongUs: They are alien EnergyBeings hidden among humanity as vehicles.
* EnergyBeings: They are made of energy and possess machines to gain physical forms.
* HumongousMecha: They're all at least a few stories tall.
* SpacePolice: Exkaiser and his allies are these, having come to Earth pursuing the Geisters.
* TransformingMecha: Justified, as their alternate mode is the machine they possessed when they arrived on Earth.
!Exkaiser
--->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShowHayami

The titular character and leader of the Kaisers, a group of Space Police.

* AllLovingHero: As far as he's concerned, all life is a treasure, even if the life belongs to a villain. [[spoiler:Hearing this belief inspires Dino Geist to kill himself to spite Exkaiser, and the Kaiser is clearly upset and being unable to save him.]]
* {{BFS}}: Great Exkaiser's sword, which is bigger than he is (which is saying something given he's as big as the gigantic Dino Geist).
* CombiningMecha: Can combine with his auxiliary mecha into King Exkaiser, Dragon Kaiser, and Great Exkaiser.
* CoolCar: His vehicle mode is a futuristic sports car.
* CoolPlane: His Dragon Jet.
* ChestBlaster: The lion head on Exkaiser's chest isn't just for show, he's capable of firing a powerful blast of fire from the mouth.
* FishOutOfWater: Exkaiser frequently asks Kouta to explain various things about human culture to him, as it's all completely new to him.
* FunnyBruceLeeNoises: When in Dragon Kaiser form, Exkaiser will occasionally let out high pitched noises like Creator/BruceLee while attacking as a homage for how Bruce is known as 'The Dragon'.
* HumbleHero: Exkaiser saves humanity at the risk of his own life on a weekly basis, but seeks no praise for it. He gets ''embarrassed'' when praised by anyone.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Exkaiser's Dragon Jet, which not only gives him a ride to fly on, but can act as an independent drone mecha called Dragon and combine with him to form Dragon Kaiser.
* MetaMecha: Exkaiser's combinations both see him more or less get inside and pilot the larger form.
* SuperMode: Great Exkaiser, the combination of King Exkaiser and the Dragon Jet.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Exkaiser is a cop, not an executioner. While he'll destroy MonstersOfTheWeek, those aren't sapient. The Geisters themselves ''are'' and Exkaiser might be willing to beat the hell out of them, but he wants to ''arrest'' them, not ''kill'' them, as he sees all life as precious. [[spoiler:Indeed, at the end the Kaisers arrest the lesser Geisters and Trader and Exkaiser attempts to arrest Dino Geist after defeating him. Dino Geist [[IDieFree had]] [[DrivenToSuicide something]] [[HurlItIntoTheSun else in mind.]] ]]

* CombiningMecha: They can combine into Ultra Raker.
* CoolTrain: Blue and Green Raker have high speed bullet trains capable of flying on energy rails as their vehicle modes.

[[folder:Geisters]]
!Tropes applying to all
* CombiningMecha:
** The lower ranked Geister generals ''can'' combine using the same bugs used to make Geister Robos to form Mad Geister...however, unlike Ultra Raker and God Max (who seem to have one consciousness formed from their components), the Geisters are all separate controlling their own body part. As the Geisters don't get along and bicker constantly, this form is pretty much completely useless.
** Ptera Geist and Thunder Geist can do the same alone to form the centaur-like Pteder, which goes a ''lot'' better due to Ptera Geist being able to work with Thunder's LeeroyJenkins personality when it's ''only'' him to deal with.
** Armor Geist and Horn Geist can combine using the same method as the other Geister fusions, forming Hormor. As with Pteder, this goes much better than Mad Geister did..
* DumbMuscle: With the exception of Dino Geist and Ptera Geist, the Geisters are all this. Thunder Geist in particular is noted as being very strong, but ''very'' dumb.
* EnergyBeings: They are made of energy and possess machines to gain physical forms.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: They all turn into robot dinosaurs.
* FastTunnelling: The Geisters other than Ptera Geist do this, and it's their main method of getting around and stealing things.
* FishOutOfWater: While their own stupidity is a big road block, the Geisters also run into this problem and often end up going after completely useless things due to misunderstanding the importance humans put on things or figures of speech. Even the generally much more competent Dino Geist runs into this issue on several occasions.
* FriendInTheBlackMarket: The Geisters have one, named Trader, who buys their stolen goods. Dino Geist views him as easily replaceable and outright abandons him when he gets caught.
* HumongousMecha: They're all at least a few stories tall.
* LaughablyEvil: Despite being the most dangerous space pirates in the Galaxy, the Geisters have a collective IQ of about 5. Ptera Geist is somewhat smarter than his allies, but not by that much. Averted with Dino Geist himself is generally a bit more intelligent than his minions, [[SurroundedByIdiots much to his frustration.]]
* RapePillageAndBurn: Well, except the first one, being robots and all. But according to Exkaiser, the Geisters' MO is to attack planets, pillaging everything of value while destroying everything that gets in their way.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: All of them except for Dino Geist use the [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Dinobots]] as reference, having the same alternate modes and KibblesAndBits, but different head designs, different color schemes, and more angular features. Specifically, Horn Geist is Slag, Armor Geist is Snarl, Ptera Geist is Swoop, and Thunder Geist is Sludge.
* SpacePirate: The Geisters are a gang of space pirates who came to Earth seeking treasures to loot and pillage.
* StockDinosaurs: Horn Geist is a triceratops, Ptera Geist is a pterodactyl, Thunder Geist is a brontosaurus, Armor Geist is a stegosaurus, and Dino Geist is a T-Rex.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: All of the Geisters sans Dino Geist, despite being based off of a [[ReusedCharacterDesign characters who already had toys]], never got any representation in the show's toyline.
* TransformingMecha: They possessed models of dinosaurs when they arrived on Earth. Dino Geist is unique in that he's a triple changer, being able to turn into a T-Rex and a jet.
!Dino Geist
--->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShozoIizuka

Leader of the space pirates known as the Geisters. He mostly takes the form of a robotic tyrannosaurus rex.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Dino Geist decides to take matters into his own hands in episode 24...and shows that he's a ''much'' bigger threat than the rest of the Geisters ''combined''. It takes all three of the Kaisers to make a ''dent'' in him. He's also far more competent than his minions, with his plan only failing because Exkaiser realized Kouta's radio being out was a sign of trouble. Great Exkaiser is the ''only'' opponent capable of fighting him evenly one on one.
* BigBad: The leader of the Geisters.
* CatchPhrase: Earlier on, he has "Treasure??", which is often said when he was watching TV and then somehow someone said the word, this is usually his cue to call his Geisters to steal the treasure.
* CoolPlane: His second alternate mode.
* DieLaughing: [[spoiler:Dino Geist laughs as he plunges himself into the sun and kills himself as one last act of spite to Exkaiser.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Dino Geist kills himself in the sun upon being defeated by Exkaiser, refusing to be arrested and imprisoned.]]
* EvilIsBigger: Dino Geist ''dwarfs'' King Exkaiser, being at least twice his size. Kouta even mentions it when he debuts.
* EvilIsPetty: In the finale, [[spoiler:Dino Geist throws himself into the sun to mock Exkaiser's belief that life is a treasure]].
* IDieFree: [[spoiler:Dino Geist casts himself into the sun and destroys himself rather than being arrested by Exkaiser.]]
* LargeAndInCharge: Dino Geist ''dwarfs'' his crew. When all of them are in dino mode, the other Geisters come up to his ''knees''. His robot mode is at least twice as large as King Exkaiser.
* KnightOfCerebus: While Dino Geist was present from day one, once he decides to get involved personally things get ''much'' more serious due to him being much more dangerous and competent than all his minions combined, with a lot more {{Near Villain Victor|y}}ies for the Geisters.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Dino Geist gets one in episode 31: the Dino Shield, which can not only defend against even Dragon Kaiser's [[FinishingMove Thunder Arrow]], but unleash an extremely powerful attack. It takes ''literal'' DivineIntervention in the form of an ancient prophecy coming to past for Exkaiser to be able to damage it, let alone break through it.
* MouthOfSauron: Komori, Dino Geist's little bat-like minion, often fills this role, reporting Dino Geist's plans to his minions while he continues researching new things for them to steal. Or [[SurroundedByIdiots chewing them out for their stupidity.]] Around episode 21, he finally gets fed up enough with their stupidity to chew them out face to face.
* NighInvulnerable: Dino Geist, even by the already high standard of his species. It says a lot that being hit by a city killer level meteor, experiencing unprotected atmospheric re-entry, and then having the meteor he's being hit by blown up with Exkaiser's FinishingMove to actually do any significant damage to him.
* NoSell: God Max attempts to use the God Sonic Bomber on Dino Geist. It has no effect. ''At all''. Even being triple teamed by all three of the heroes at once and taking a direct hit from Exkaiser's Thunder Flash only succeeds in creating a SmokeShield. He doesn't ''lose'' this either, as most of the Kaiser's attacks barely make him flinch.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Dino Geist spends most of his time sitting in his lair, separate from his minions, sifting through the news media to see what Earth has that's worth stealing. It isn't until 22 he finally chooses to leave his base and start looking into things personally. Finally, in episode 24, he gets ticked off enough to take care of things personally.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has red eyes in robot mode.
* {{Revenge}}: In episode 13, Dino Geist's plan to make Mt. Fuji erupt is explicitly revenge on Exkaiser on the heroes for constantly thwarting him rather than to steal treasure like his other plans.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Dino Geist at several points is ''very'' frustrated about his minions lack of intelligence.
* TheDreaded: ''Everyone'' is scared of him, and he's known as the most dangerous criminal in the universe.
* TheJuggernaut: Dino Geist once he starts acting in person. Anything except Great Exkaiser has no hope at all of meaningfully harming him, and when it requires intervention from ''God himself'' to stop you, you're this trope.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: The show has a pretty light tone to it, with most of the Geisters being LaughablyEvil. However, Dino Geist himself is ''not'' played for laughs, instead always being portrayed dead seriously, and almost always sends his minions after something of genuine value rather than the random stuff they normally go after. In episode 13, his plan consists of triggering Mt. Fuji to erupt, purely for revenge on the Kaisers for constantly wrecking his plans.
!Horn Geist
--->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeGori

The stategic planner of the Geisters. He mostly takes the form of a robotic triceratops.

* EvilIsPetty: Horn Geist tries to steal human dreams, only to find out that is completely impossible. His response? Make a monster specifically so no one ''can'' dream out of frustration for them having something unstealable.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Horn Geist, while normally as incompetent as his teammates, shows this in Episode 15 when he singlehandedly creates a monster that causes havoc all over Japan by preventing people from sleeping (which as Exkaiser points out is greatly increasing the risk of traffic accidents due to sleep deprivation. Not only that, but because their passengers end up disabled by the monster's sonic waves, the Raker Brothers can't join in the fight, and the monster itself is one of the most powerful up until that point with an attack that the Kaisers have no defense against. The result is them very nearly killing Exkaiser, beating down Jet Max and Sky Max, and being one of the first monsters to seriously overpower King Exkaiser while he's wielding the Kaiser Sword.
* TheKlutz: He's pretty clumsy, and shares this trait with Armor Geist.
!Armor Geist
--->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomomichiNishimura

The demolition expert of the Geisters. He mostly takes the form of a robotic stegosaurus.

* TheKlutz: He's pretty clumsy, and shares this trait with Horn Geist.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has red eyes in both modes.
!Ptera Geist
--->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JurotaKosugi

The intelligence collector of the Geisters. He mostly takes the form of a robotic pteranadon.
----
* TheDragon: Ptera Geist fills this role, being the smartest of the Geisters other than Dino Geist himself and the one who comes up with a lot of their plans.
* OnlySaneMan: As far as the Geisters under Dino Geist's command go, he's the only one who isn't an idiot.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has red eyes in both modes.
!Thunder Geist
--->'''Voiced by:''' Masahiro Anzai, Naoki Makishima

The muscle of the Geisters. He mostly takes the form of a robotic apatosaurus.
----
* BerserkButton: Don't call him an idiot.
* DumbMuscle: He's noted as being very strong, but ''very'' dumb.

* ReusedCharacterDesign: All of them except for Dino Geist use the [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Dinobots]] as reference, having the same alternate modes and KibblesAndBits, but different head designs and more angular features. Specifcially, Horn Geist is Slag, Armor Geist is Snarl, Ptera Geist is Swoop, and Thunder Geist is Sludge.

* TransformingMecha: Justified, as their alternate mode is the machine they possessed when they arrived on Earth. Dino Geist is unique in that he's a triple changer, being able to turn into a T-Rex and a jet.

* TheKlutz: He's pretty clumsy, and shared this trait with Armor Geist.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Despite being based off of a [[ReusedCharacterDesign character who already had a toy]], he never got one.

* TheKlutz: He's pretty clumsy, and shared this trait with Horn Geist.
