    I forgot about those! I found that they match the size of the holes on   
   the bottom of the DX DekaRanger Robo/Delta Squad Megazord's feet, too.   
   THOSE holes were used for the fists for the Super DekaRanger Robo/Omega-Max   
   Megazord.

    Yep!   
      
    I wrote a friend a few weeks back, telling him about all the reasons I   
   had to suspect- other than the wall chart- based on the DX toys alone. (I   
   still do not have DX DaiVoyager yet. Grrr...)   
    This e-mail clip was sent before DaiVoyager debuted in the series, so this   
   is only a few weeks old. Here's what I wrote to him:   
      
   ---   
      
    "As far as we know, Dai Voyager's arms are interconectable with the   
   shoulder joints in the   
   others, right? And we already know that DaiBouken can ride GouGou Voyager   
   (battleship   
   mode) from toy and video clips.   
    But if DaiVoyager is the end of the '06 line, then Bandai changed their   
   minds   
   mid-season...   
      
    "Huh-? Why?"   
      
    1- DaiBouken still has two clips unaccounted for on its legs which seem   
   to have no readily-apparent function, but are clearly meant for something to   
   clip on.   
    2- Gougou Jet's belt/landing gear has an extra joint near the wheels.   
   And, the belt can   
   pivot at the fusilage contrary to how it can fit around Ultimate DaiBouken,   
   DaiBouken   
   Buster Mode, AND Siren Builder Jet.   
    3- Gougou Shovel has that little pivoting lamp light on the black   
   section of its arm. Why?   
    4- and this one is a just a hunch, but that accessory piece included   
   with Gougou Jet   
   seems to have more function than we've seen so far; it's only used to   
   connect #06-09 on   
   Jet's flight mode. But if that mode isn't seen in the series, why have it?   
   Is it used on   
   DaiTanken, as a Shield, like they claim in the instructions? Have you EVER   
   known a Super   
   Sentai mecha to have an accessory/mode which wasn't seen on-screen? (Other   
   than Gao King's unnamed tank mode?)   
    5- Gougou Gyro and Gougou Jet are repeats for air vehicles, as are two   
   of Dai Voyager's   
   components. FOUR flyers in one series? For the Gougou Vehicle line, that   
   seems kinda   
   repetitive, doesn't it? The Power Animals line ("GaoRanger") only had   
   three. There is,   
   also, only one environment that "Boukenger" has not delved into yet- space.   
      
    Now- YOU tell ME why that all doesn't work if DaiVoyager is the last one."   
      
   ---   
      
    One thing that did not occur to me to ask was if the transformable   
   candy/kit Gougou Vehicles had similar "tells" on them compared to the DX   
   versions. Do all of the above apply to the smaller versions?
