Biography

Jumborg 9 is painted with silver on one half of his body, and fiery orange on the other, and the rivet styling on his chest armor is prominent feature. 9 has more armor and brute strength than Jumborg Ace which makes him a fatal force to be reckoned with, as monsters only struggle against Ace they have no chance against 9. However due to 9's emphasis on power, he can not transform into a flying vehicle, though he has high mobility, being able to run at mach speeds on land.

Jumborg 9 was not built with the intention of following his pilot's movement or flight like Jumborg Ace, he instead has a manual operation that utilizes the interface of a normal car, such as a handle and feet pedals, also making use of gear shifts, with the maximum speed limit being mach 9. It should also be noted that when piloting Jumborg 9, his movements in battle give off the sound of a car.

Although Jumborg 9 cannot fly using the method described above, he later had rockets built into him in order to fly to the moon when Naoki with Jumborg Ace was having difficulties in the final battle against Demon Go-Ne in episode 47. During said battle Jumborgs Ace and 9 were incapacitated by Demongone, but the second Alien Emerald then appeared and took the wheel of Jumborg 9. Together Naoki and Alien Emerald II finally defeated Demon Go-Ne. Alien Emerald II is not shown on screen piloting Jumborg 9.

Trivia

  • He's the showa version of Jean-nine.
  • The relationship between Jumborg Ace and Nine is different to the relationship between Jean-bot and Jean-nine. The relationship between Jean-nine and Jean-bot was of brothers, however, the relationship between Jumborg 9 and Jumborg Ace was of friends.
  • Jumborg 9's color scheme (half red half silver) is very similar to the Choujinki Metalder character, Ryusei Tsurugi (Ryan Steele in the US Dub). It is possible that Ryusei was inspired by Jumborg 9, or it simply could be a coincidence.
