Hoverboards are the primary method of transport for members of the Battle Hackers who don't have vehicular modes, or just feel like showing that they're radical to the max.

Fiction[edit | edit source]

Machine Robo: Battle Hackers cartoon[edit | edit source]

Hoverboards were used by the Gattai Saurer team members Header, Abarar, Legger and Taildar, though mainly for gooning around the Crystal City's highways between missions. Garzack used one as well before he stopped doing much, while R. JeTan was an occasional user to show he was awesome and down with the kids. The general plan was to make the group as wide as any road in order to be as obnoxious as possible. The group used them to run Police Car Robo and Porsche Robo off the road to show just how cool they were Strongest Warrior - R.JeTan!. After Akira Amachi was kidnapped by Kizune and Gantsuke the Battle Hackers rode their hoverboards during the search for the human Crystal Eavesdropping Strategy. Akira rode a smaller version himself Jet Riser - Full Fire!. Garzack later pulled a mad stunt on his board when recovering his Garfire-SP from Sorikondar Stolen Garfire-SP.

  • Like several elements of the series - the Battle Hackers being antisocial jerks, Garzack doing stuff - use of the hoverboards dropped off after the first few episodes of the series.
