Rainbow Seven
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rainbow Seven (レインボーセブン Reinbō Sebun), known in its uninhabited state as V-Armor (Vアーマー Bui Āmā), is a mecha that appears in the 1982 animated series Warrior of Love Rainbowman. It was created by Dr. Omiya at the behest of Deva Datta in preparation for his death and the subsequent release of Emperor Dongolos.
Design
Rainbow Seven was constructed as "V-Armor," a giant humanoid white robot, but it is sometimes erroneously colored with a pinkish tint. When it is inhabited by the power of Rainbowman, various parts of it take on colors corresponding to Rainbowman's seven Dashes. Its right arm becomes red like Dash 2, its left arm blue like Dash 3, its right leg violet like Dash 6, and its left leg yellow like Dash 1. Its pelvis becomes the green of Dash 4, while its pectoral area turns orange like Dash 5. Rainbow Seven's head remains white to represent the primary form of Rainbowman, Dash 7. Its head is reminiscent of the RX-78-2 Gundam from the Gundam franchise. It has been alleged that the series director and designer Nobuhiro Okasako took inspiration from Daimajin when creating Rainbow Seven.[1]
Origins
Rainbow Seven was created in secret by Dr. Omiya under Deva Datta's command. Rainbowman has the power to combine the elemental powers of his Seven Dash forms to empower and embody the V-Armor and to pilot Rainbow Seven as an extension of himself.
History
- Warrior of Love Rainbowman (1982)
Showa era
Warrior of Love Rainbowman
"Go! Warrior of Love"
The Rainbow Seven V-Armor grew close to completion in the laboratory of Dr. Omiya.
"Fight! Rainbow Seven"
When Takeshi Yamoto returned to Japan from his time abroad, Omiya showed him Rainbow Seven. Later, when defending the home of Omiya's colleague Dr. Toyama, Rainbowman summoned Rainbow Seven to combat the Devil Mecha Draudas. Draudas blew flames at Rainbow Seven, but Rainbow Seven quickly dispatched it with a "Rainbow Flash" attack.
"The Terrifying Robot Factory"
After a new Devil Mecha named Gizarath terrorized the city, Rainbowman arrived at the factory that the Die-Die Gang had been using to build it and other new Devil Mechas, and called in Rainbow Seven to stop them. Fairie Rosé summoned Gizarath, and Rainbowman called Rainbow Seven forth in retaliation. Gizarath attacked with its tendrils, but Rainbow Seven swatted them away with the Sword of Light. It then tried to blast him with a crackling beam of energy from its back, but Rainbow Seven was unfazed. He then severed each of Gizarath's five limbs before launching a Big Cross attack at its face, which caused the Devil Mecha to explode. Rainbow Seven then stood over the burning wreckage.
"Rainbow Seven Explodes!"
Rainbow Seven was defeated by the Devil Mecha Goliath. Its parts were scattered by the explosion.
"Revive!! Rainbow Seven"
With help from Dr. Omiya, Rainbowman was able to reassemble Rainbow Seven and use his power to destroy the Devil Mecha Jaradan.
