* CoolAirship: The Gran Nazca, which can [[TransformingMecha transform into]] [[HumongousMecha Combat Formation]] and the [[{{BFG}} Big Bang Cannon]]. The villains have the [[ThreateningShark Skulljaws]], which can drop missiles and bombs (which can in turn deploy tanks).

* PhantomZone: Given a twist this time around -- instead of the villains doing it to give their MonsterOfTheWeek a boost, here it's ''Spielban'' who can do it -- with his ''Bypass Slip'' (triggered by a button above his belt buckle), he can suck all the Waller forces away to protect the city, typically emerging in [[BBCQuarry the typical Toei quarry]].
* SupervillainLair: The Gamedeath, a flying fortress resembling a turtle for some reason. The Skulljaws emerge as needed, as do the various jet fighters.
* TankGoodness: The Gaios for Spielban, and the Skulldon, piloted by General Deathzero (who also commands a fleet of lesser tanks). Both of these can split into two components -- a jet, and a ground vehicle with a damaging tool (a drill for Spielban and a spinning sawblade for Deathzero).

'''''Jikuu Senshi Spielban''''' ("Dimensional Warrior Spielban"), premiering in 1986, was Toei's fifth entry in the ''Franchise/MetalHeroes'' franchise of {{Toku}} shows.

Klin is a beautiful planet blessed with an abundance of fresh water. And it is because of this wealth that WAHRER, a warring empire, invades the planet and ravages it for its liquid wealth.

Two years later, with nearly no water or natural resources left on their planet, the survivors pin their last hopes on two children and send them to Earth, a planet with similar environment to Klin. These two children are Spielban & Diana.

12 years after their arrival, they finally wake up from their sleep. Receiving the knowledge of the history and culture of Earth, they continue their growth as soldiers.

Then, the Wahrer empire approaches Earth, with the intent of raiding Japan for its water. To stop them and to protect the planet, Spielban & Diana stand up to them, but deceptions, lies, heartache, and the painful truth awaits the two of them...
