Goryu is a robot from Brave Express Might Gaine and is a transformable Super Robot featured in Knights of the Multiverse Season 1. A sort of upgrade to the Hiryu, it was created by L.O.S.R. to destroy the Crystal Knights. It was operated by Senor Killbot's electronic brain, who also took the opportunity to destroy the already in-play Hiryu to prove itself.

Notes[]
In the original Might Gaine series, Goryu was the second Mecha piloted by the show's main rival character, Joe the Ace, in a bid to destroy the titular hero after Hiryu was destroyed; although funnily enough, Goryu's role in this series is based off of another Might Gaine mecha, the Mega Sonic 8823, which was a robot that actually was canonically based off of Hiryu's design (although Goryu is meant to be a much more serious threat to both parties than the 8823 was).
Like a majority of villain toys/machines in the Brave Series, Hiryuu's design was reused from a character from the Transformers franchise; in particular, the character Dai Atlas from Transformers Zone. Ironically, Atlas was chummy partners with Sonic Bomber in the special, whereas here... not so much.
The "Drill Arm" is a KotM-original move, given to it in a "for fun" scenario, though it also acts as unintentional foreshadowing for Might Kaiser's Drill Crusher.
Goryu translates to Roaring Dragon in english.
