[edit] The Chouseishin Series

Chouseishin Gransazer (Ultra Star God GranSazer) - 2003/2004: The Gransazers involves a group of 12 ordinary people who have the power to transform and don the Gransazer battle suits, that were created by an ancient race of humans, before an alien alliance wiped them out millions of years ago. The Gransazers are divided into 4 tribes: flame, wind, earth, and water. Each tribe has an Ultra Star God, which they can summon only when the three Gransazers of each tribe join together and use their Knuckle Risers. These Ultra Star Gods are each 150 metres tall and have special weapons and finishing moves like the Gransazers. The Gransazers also have the Cloud Dragon and Guntras as allies. The Cloud Dragon is sentient, like Guntras and the Ultra Star Gods, and can carry and heal the Ultra Star Gods, as well as help counter alien threats with its Galactica Prominence Cannon. Guntras is a massive sentient robot that has many weapons, i.e. laser battery, and can combine with the other Ultra Star Gods to form the ultimate Daisazer. Together with these aids, the Gransazers combat alien threats that threaten to annihilate Earth and mankind.

"Souchaku!!!" (meaning "Equip!!!") is the series' trademark henshin call, yet in the Philippine and English dubs of Gransazers, they replaced it with "Transform!!!" In Justirisers, Filipino dubbers from Hero Channel used "Transform!!!" while those from GMA had used both "Transform!!!" and "Equip!!!" for the whole series. Meanwhile, in Sazer X, Filipino dubbers discontinued the use of "Transform!!!" and replaced it with "Equip!!!" while the dubbers in Cartoon Network Philippines used "Power UP!!!".
"Dive In!!!" is the series' trademark command for entering inside a particular Star God.

Riser Glen and Liosazer featured in a professional wrestling match for HUSTLE with Kenzo Suzuki and Hiroko Suzuki, which they won.
In Justirisers, The Filipino dubbers of both Hero Channel and GMA used "Justiriser" instead of "Riser" to prefix the heroes' names so that Riser Glen was known as Justiriser Glen, and so on, although they also used the prefix "Riser" in some episodes.
