...they had finally defeated the first creature (which became multiple creatures) the villainous Maur-Kon threw against them!
But Dr Tambura, leader of the alien Followers of the Light who recruited the three human pilots for the mecha is concerned about the fact it took three issues to achieve victory...
The following page shows how each of the Shoguns can transform into another form (as established in their respective Japanese animated series)...
Trivia: Raideen and Dangard Ace are solo pilot mecha in both American and Japanese versions, but Combatra has five pilots in Japan and only one in America!
But both Raideen and Dangard Ace have support teams/aides who assist the pilot!
None of the Japanese characters or plotlines are carried over to the American Shogun Warriors!
To Be Continued Next Monday!
Coming up with Toho-style kaiju/mecha threats to the Shogun Warriors was a trying task to writer Doug Moench and penciler Herb Trimpe!

Oddly, while the Godzilla series embraced continually-utilizing Marvel characters as guest-stars, Shogun Warriors resisted doing so until the very end of the series!
