Roadcaesar
C-323 Brainmaster

Abilities: Contains the three symbols of good, the Brains of Strength, Skill and Intelligence. The exceptional abilities of these three are combined into one, resulting in mobile power equal to Star Saber's.
Weapon: Road Blade
Function: Three-Gun Gestalt Knight
(Actually, it's "Sanjuu-gattai-kishi," which translates literally as "Three-Gun Gestalt Knight." Since "Sanjuushi" is the term for the Three Musketeers, I think "Three-Musketeer Gestalt" sounds better, but take your pick.)
Final Attack: The Brain Wheel Shocker, in which he launches super energy rings from all his tires. Even the Destron's Liocaesar is no match for this.
