- Battle Wing
Instead of a cape like most Getter Robo units, Shin Getter One ejects a pair of bat-like wings from its back for flight. They can also fold inwards around its arms to accelerate upwards even faster.
- Getter Razor
The razors on the sides of Shin Getter One's forearms that can slice through almost anything with ease. They can even extend outward to deliver more damage.

Unlike other Getter Tomahawks, Shin Getter One's takes the form of a large lance that has to be held by both hands.

Shin Getter One fires a large, pink beam from a hole that opens in its stomach (similarly to the original Getter One).
- Super Inazuma (Lightning) Kick
Shin Getter One performs an extremely powerful, electrically charged dropkick.
- Shin Shine Spark
Upgraded version of the Shine Spark used by Getter Dragon: Shin Getter engulfs itself in a golden light formed from Getter Rays, then charges forward at their opponent.
- Stoner Sunshine
All of Shin Getter's power concentrates in Getter One's hands, forming a large ball of pure Getter energy. When it's launched, the ball eclipses its target completely and disintegrates them entirely.

Notes[]
While KotM's version of Shin Getter's model is based off of its appearance in Armageddon and Getter One's colors remain the same with all of its incarnations, Two and Three's colors are based more off of its appearances in Shin vs Neo and Daikessen, where the red, white and yellow of all three forms in order to make them a little more coherent.
Asuka was given control of Getter Two as a nod to her other Gainax Super Robot anime, Gurren Lagaan, with many of its uses of the Getter Drill being partially based off of some of GL's attacks. Elchi was given control of Three is mostly due to how her KotM incarnation places more emphasis on her using mechs based around strength and loads of projectiles.
