'''Shin Universe Robo''' {{Nihongo|シン・ユニバースロボ|Shin Yunibāsu Robo}} is a giant robot formed through the combination of [[Godzilla (Shin Godzilla)|Godzilla]], [[Ultraman]], [[wikia:w:c:evangelion:Evangelion Unit-01 (Rebuild)|Evangelion Unit-01]], and [[wikia:w:c:kamenrider:Takeshi Hongo (Shin Kamen Rider)|Kamen Rider]]'s motorcycle [[wikia:w:c:kamenrider:Cyclone (Shin Kamen Rider)|Cyclone]]. It was created in [[2023]] as a toy by [[Bandai]], and appeared in [[Suitmation|suit]] form in a [[tokusatsu]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR-quNfFW9c web commercial].
{{TOC}}
==Name==
Shin Universe Robo's name is derived from the promotion for which it was created, the [[Shin series|'''Shin''' Japan Heroes '''Universe''']]. ''Robo'' is a Japanese shortening of the word "robot."
==Development==
The Bandai promotional video was directed and storyboarded by [[Hiroshi Butsuda]].<ref name="Hobby">{{cite web|url=https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/special/1501830.html|title=3機編隊の敵、爆炎を進むロボ……。「S.J.H.U.PROJECT シン・ユニバースロボ」PVはなぜ見る者の魂を揺さぶるのか？|last=Katsuta|first=Tetsuya|date=19 May 2023|work=HOBBY Watch}}</ref> According to the credits, Kazumori Kawatsu was responsible for modeling, and the mech was played by stuntman Yohei Fujita. Though [[Shin series|''Shin'' series]] creator [[Hideaki Anno]] was not involved with the commercial, Butsuda consulted him over email; Anno's specific request for "a shot of the giant robot walking proudly through an explosion" was named by Butsuda as the turning point in his decision to use a practical suit.{{R|Hobby}}
==Design==
The core of Shin Universe Robo is made up by Godzilla, whose feet, tail, and dorsal fins are removed, and whose neck and head fold down onto his chest. A portion of Godzilla's pelvis also slides down and slits appear in his pelvis and thighs, revealing red paneling on his right side and green on his left. The upper and lower halves of Ultraman's and Eva-01's bodies are separated, with the lower halves becoming the robot's feet and the upper halves becoming its arms. An AT Field projected by the Eva Unit solidifies into a chest ornament, which Godzilla's head pokes through. The transformation is completed by the Cyclone, which becomes the robot's head, and continues to be ridden upon by Kamen Rider. Shin Universe Robo also possesses a pair of red and white wing-like structures on its back. It carries both a sword (its blade a solidified Spacium Beam and the handle a piece of Godzilla's back) and a shield (another solidified AT Field).
==History==
===[[Reiwa era]]===
====[[Shin series|S.J.H.U. Project: Shin Universe Robo]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR-quNfFW9c promotional video]====
In a city, Godzilla, Ultraman, Evangelion Unit-01, and Kamen Rider confronted a giant horned sludge monster and a fleet of smaller drones. Before long, Godzilla roared to the others, and they raised their fists in acknowledgment. The four heroes combined into Shin Universe Robo, marching through laser blasts from its enemies. Before long, the robot destroyed the monster with a finishing move: slashing with its sword and shield, firing atomic breath from Godzilla's head, and being joined by a Rider Kick from Kamen Rider.
==Abilities==
===Weapons===
Shin Universe Robo carries a Spacium Beam sword and AT Field shield, both of which contributed to its finishing move.
===Atomic breath===
Shin Universe Robo can fire atomic breath from the Godzilla head on its chest.
===Durability===
Shin Universe Robo was unfazed by explosive laser blasts from the sludge monster and its drones, marching straight through them.
