In episode 25 J-Decker is brutally beaten and is nearly destroyed by the new AI robots Chieftain I and II but the 8th member of the Brave Police comes in to save the day. He is Duke, the knight in shining armour. He combines with Fire Roader ad shows off his superior armaments by clicing Chieftain II in half and then would have done the same to Ghieftain I if not for Victim's devious schemes. Duke then becomes the leader of the Brave Police to the dismay of everyone including Yuuta. He is jealpus of Deckard because everyone wants him to return and tries to show them he is superior. He also convinces Yuuta to continue the good fight when J-Decker is revived as Satan J-Decker by fighting on even when all seems lost (and shows the courage that Yuuta himself holds that was transferred into Deckard and subsequently copied into all other AI Braves).

Despite not having a robot mode Duke retains his arms/vents on the side of his van mode. The blue on the DX version is now black. The ladder cant extend.



The claw/drill attachments can be mounted on the ladder of Fire Roader though it looks quite a bit worse than the DX version.



"Brave Up! Duke Fire!!"

Looks pretty accurate to the DX right?



Well not exactly. The hip/upper legs dont extend from within. They flip out.



Duke was originally created in england and it shows it best in this form. His helmet is very similar to that of the fireman's here (though I'm not sure if they look like that any more).

Somehow Dukefire manages to look less fat than the DX version. Also I dont know where the chest part goes on the DX version but it goes nowhere in the STD's vehicle mode. Like STD J-Decker it loses most of the arm articulation from the DX version. The black paint on the STD makes it look more accurate to the animation. The Fire Sword does not have the moveable parts on the hilt. The eye paint is pretty much perfect unlike J-Decker's.



Because of the transformation his legs are a bit wierdly jointed. Edit: The legs click in place! There is no problem with his knees. Sorry about this false info...



"Fire Sword!!"



The drill/claws can be attached in this mode as well.



Everyone together in vehicle mode.



After retrieving Deckard and him recovering from his memory loss issue, we are introduced to their combination Fire J-Decker (the chief contemplates Great J-Decker but feels it is too generic as a joke to long time fans). But the problem is that because of Deckard's damaged data they have a very high chance either of them could lose their memories (third time for Deckard!). During the oncoming battle Victim shows them the new impreved Hyper Chieftains who can ALSo combine but requires one to be destroyed first. Armoured Chieftain is so powerful J-Decker and Dukefire requests for the command to combine into Fire J-Decker despite the risks. Of course its pretty obvious that their combination will be completely successful and the issue wont come up again.

"Brave Up! Fire J-Decker!!"

When I first layed my eyes upon Fire J-Decker I though 'Battle apron'. WTF. But the STD version IMO looks a lot nicer with less of it sticking out. The giant Brave police insignia is an addon (unlike the fold out on in the DX version). The sword holder is now on his hip rather than on the back. Pretty cool concept though its a bit flawed in this one because of the limited arm movements he needs his arms to point forwards. This can be worked around by not inserting his arms completely. The 'horns' on his head are sharper then the DX one which may not be as accurate but they sure look cool.



"Burning Fire Sword!!"



"Fire J-Decker max Cannon Mode!!"



Left over parts.



With STD Fire Dagwon and Power Dagwon.



STD FirE J-Decker and Super Fire Dagwon.



Overall the set isnt too bad. Not as good as the DX would be but some things I prefer over the DX versions. Also none of the transforming J-Deckers have the right face! None of the look anything like the one in the animation!

Hope the backstories werent too long. Thanks again Might Gaine .

PS: I need the DX versions pronto (japanese versions too boot because I hate the reworked Brave police insignia) .
