Voice actor: Ken Yamaguchi

After the Machine Robo left Cronos and passed a dimensional gateway they re-emerged as the citizens of the Algo Republic on Electronic Planet B-1, where the four members of Gattai Saurer were part of the Battle Hackers, a misfit unit of the Algo Army's forces in the battle against the Gurendos led by R. JeTan. As a member of the Battle Hackers he largely divided his time between hoverboarding around the Algo Republic, patrols or missions as part of Gattai Saurer and lounging around the base. After their arrival on B-1 and informal adoption by the Battle Hackers he added teasing the humans Patricia Longfellow and especially Akira Amachi to his duties. Initially this was mean-spirited but it later later became more well-meaning if no less constant, and like the rest of the team he developed a certain affection for the kind but dim Patricia. All of this was carried out in close proximity to his teammates Abarar, Legger and Taildar, from whom he was inseparable.
