Sensuimaru
From Transformers Wiki
- Sensuimaru is an Autobot Swordbot from the Go! portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Sensuimaru (センスイマル) has a mind as cold and still as a calmed sea. No situation is too dark or too chaotic for him to think through and devise a logical plan of action. Although his demeanor can sometimes seem as cold as the ocean depths he can traverse, he actually sees himself as a mentor and father figure to the rest of the Swordbot Shinobi Team.
He can combine with teammates Gekisoumaru and Hishoumaru in various configurations. With Sensuimaru as the top, the combined form is called GoSensui (ゴウセンスイ Gōsensui). His partner in aquatic adventure is the Mini-Con octopus Sen.

The Shinobi team were wakened from their stasis in Nagoya Castle when Tobio Fūma activated the Legendisc which Judora and Bakudora were trying to steal. The team confronted the two Predacons, who summoned a team of Jaki to take them on. Though they were no match for Goradora on their own, Tobio activated the Legendisc's power and they were able to form GoGekisou, and eventually brought down the Jaki before striking at the Predacons. With a flash of light, the Autobots and Tobio found themselves in the past where they saw two armies carrying Legendiscs, and then returned to present day, where Gekisoumaru announced that Tobio was now their master. Triple Combination! Swordbot - Ninja! Triple Combination! Swordbot - Samurai!
The Shinobi Team constructed an underground base near Tobio's home. They introduced Tobio to Optimus Prime via video link, and he explained about the Legendiscs. Tobio and the Shinobi Team were subsequently sent back in time to try to obtain the Legendisc held by Kotarō Fūma, however the ninja promptly caught them in chains. They broke free, and when Judora and Gaidora arrived, found themselves again fighting the Jaki. A fire broke out, and Tobio had Sensuimaru extinguish it so he could rescue a couple of monkeys. The Shinobi Team then merged into GoSensui and then GoHishou, before they and Tobio were returned to present day, though without the Legendisc. Discover! The Legendiscs! Pursue! The Legendiscs!
The Shinobi Team's research indicated that their fights with the Predacons were causing the Legendiscs to time slip. On their next trip into the past, the Autobots helped Tobio chase off some bandits who were menacing an old man, who turned out to be Sasuke Sarutobi. Sarutobi handed the Legendisc he possessed over to Tobio, and the boy and his Autobot friends successfully returned to present day with it, only to be confronted by Budora, Bakudora, and Dragotron himself. The trio of Autobots were no match for the Predacon leader, however they were suddenly joined by Optimus Exprime. Enter! The New Warrior!
The Predacons abducted Tobio, and the Shinobi Team merged into GoHishou to give chase. They arrived at Mount Fuji to find the Swordbot Samurai Team was also there as Isami had also been kidnapped. Imbued with the power of all five Legendiscs, Dragotron proved impossible to beat, however Tobio and Isami managed to demerge from him. The two boys had duplicated the power of the Legendiscs, and used it to allow Optimus and the two teams to merge into DaiGekisou. This provided them with enough power to defeat Dragotron and seal the Predacons away once more. Final Battle! Link-Up Triple Combination DaiGekisou!

- Sensuimaru (Swordbot, 2013)
- ID number: G20
- Release date: September 28, 2013
- Accessories: Two "Great Fin Cross Shuriken" fin weapons, kabuto helmet/weapon
- Known designers: Junichi Akutsu (concept artist)
- Sensuimaru transforms into a large shark with opening jaws. Due to his design, he has a wealth of clearance issues, mainly in his lower legs, requiring his legs to constantly be at an angle. He has the same issue that most of the Go! Swordbots have, in that most of his torso is composed of barely-disguised gestalt-mode hip parts.
- His tail fin detaches and splits in half to either form two axes, or come together again and be arranged into a shuriken of sorts. His kabuto helmet can be arranged into a cannon as well.
- He forms the top half of GoSensui, the abdomen of GoHishou, and the legs of GoGekisou.
Notes
- Sensui probably corresponds with "diving" (潜水), while maru (丸, "circle") is a common kanji in historical Japanese names that is still used in period dramas.
