Shin Getter Dragon (usually simply called Shin Dragon) is a robot from Getter Robo Daikessen! and is a Super Robot featured in The Knights of the Multiverse, introduced in Season 3. It's the evolved form of Getter Robo G after it was exposed to pure, unfiltered Getter Rays and was instrumental in The Knights' battles with the Guild of the Multiverse. This new form cannot separate and transform, but can change parts of its body to resemble parts of Liger and Poseidon. It is piloted by the original Dragon's pilot, Ryoma Nagare.

Weapons and Attacks[]
- Getter Razor
The razors on the sides of Shin Dragon's forearms that can slice through almost anything with ease.
- Tomahawk Boomerang
Just like its previous form, Shin Getter Dragon pulls out two tomahawks from its shoulders and throws them at the enemy like boomerangs.
- Getter Tomahawk
Shin Getter Dragon draws one of its tomahawks, which grows to become far larger than the ones used in the previous attack. It then approaches its enemy at high speed and cleaves it.
- Shin Liger Attack (Chain Attack & Drill Arm)
Shin Getter Dragon transforms its right hand into a drill, its right hand into a chain launcher, and its wings into a pair of massive boosters. It then attacks the enemy at high speed (similar to Shin Getter 2's Shin Getter Vision) before impaling the enemy with the chain arm, then finishing it off with the Getter Drill.
- Shin Poseidon Attack (Getter Cyclone, Finger Net & Daisetsuzan Oroshi)
Shin Getter Dragon transforms both of its hands into the head of Getter Poseidon, with its wrist razors transforming into fan blades. It blows away the enemy with Getter Cyclone, catches them using two wires (a version of Finger Net), and throws them with the Daisetsuzan Oroshi.
- Getter Beam
Shin Getter Dragon fires a powerful Getter Beam at its enemy from the gem on its forehead.
- Giganto Missile Storm
A pair of large missiles kept in both of Shin Dragon's legs that, once fired, can separate to release multiple smaller missiles for much more widespread damage.
- Shin Shine Spark
Shin Getter Dragon ascends into the air and begins to absorb Getter Rays, creating a swirling vortex of Getter energy. It then forms a glowing white sphere of energy around it and charges at its enemy. It then plow right through them or release it in a ball of light much like the original Dragon, causing a massive explosion that incinerates the enemy, similar to the effects of Stoner Sunshine. Unlike the version used by the original Getter Dragon, it can use it to attack multiple enemies at once.
Combo Attacks[]

Notes[]
Shin Dragon's origin is based off its original depiction in the Daikessen video game, but its attacks are based off of its appearance in Super Robot Wars T. It also takes a few elements from its darker "relative" Getter Noir G, such as the "Giganto Missile Storm" attack to give it a few more attacks based off of other Getters.
While this Getter is piloted only by Ryoma, Hayato and Musashi will often appear in the form of spirits made up of Getter Ray energy, especially during the Shin Liger and Poseidon attacks and during the Shin Shine Spark.
The design for Shin Dragon's cocoon and the version of it that Saotome sees in his vision is taken from the robot's design in Getter Robo Arc.
