"A Great Mecha Invention for the Grand Finale!" is the eighteenth and final individual tankōbon volume of the Japanese manga series Dr. Slump. This volume comprises chapters 209, 212, and 223-236 as originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump, 1984 #12, 1984 #15, and 1984 #26 to 1984 #39. The volume was first available in print on 10 May 1985. The entire volume is printed in greyscale.

Chapter 209 and Chapter 212 were moved to this volume to avoid splitting up the six-part story "Youth on the Run" at the end of Volume 17. This chapter order is maintained in all subsequent collected volumes, namely the Big Volumes and the Kanzenban.

Introduction

The volume's introduction from author Akira Toriyama is printed on the front flap of the dust cover and accompanied by a small color illustration.

— Akira Toriyama

Viz includes their own English translation of Toriyama's words on the first page of their print and digital editions with the illustration printed in greyscale.
