Biography[]
When Doctor Man punished Marrah and Psygorn for their defeat at the hands of Biomen, the Monster intervened, boasted and claimed that Doctor Man saved the best for last and said that he was eager to face the Biomen. Doctor Man then came up with a new plan of defeating the Biomen. The ruler of the Gear decided that destruction of the BioRobo was the key element of defeating the Biomen. Doctor Man then walked into the Mecha-Gigan hangar and summoned the Gorilla Canth to defeat BioRobo.
Later Gorilla Canth attacked a scientific city Technotopia 21 and Peebo announced that the new Mecha Gigan appeared. The Biomen summoned the BioRobo and fought the giant robot. During an initial showdown, the team and the Mecha-Gigan appeared even in combat until BioRobo sustains were heavily damaged and a wrench left by Shingo Takasugi in the main mechanics deck of Bio Robo destroyed a circuit board, forcing Green2 to use his own power as a living conductor to keep Bio Robo running long enough to escape. Biomen detransformed and took the unconscious member out of the Robo. Doctor Man then ordered Gorilla Canth to search for the BioRobo, and sent Monster to assist the Mecha Gigan.
With a member down, Shirou Gou went back to Bio Base to retrieve another circuit board while the others took care of their teammate; only for Red1 to face opposition from Monster and Zyuoh in the process. Shirou took the spare circuit from Peebo, and headed out in the Bio Mach 1 back to BioRobo. On the way, he was knocked off his bike by Monster. Facing off Monster and Zyuoh alone, he ended up being tossed around against his will. Suddenly Zyuoh accidentally hit Monster, giving Shirou a chance to escape. Red1 ran back to his fallen bike and picked up the spare circuit, but was knocked off a cliff by Monster. Then he woke up and continued running to the BioBase, but then Neo Empire Gear minions returned and Shirou was cornered by Monster and Zyuoh. Then the other Biomen arrived to help their leader on their BioTurbo and the Bio Mach 2. The villains summoned the Mechaclones, but Biomen defeated the foot soldiers and then fought Monster and Zyuoh, ultimately defeating them with the Scramble Attack to disorient them and finally defeating them with the Miracle Bomber. After the rest of the team help Shirou deal with the opponent, the team returned to Bio Robo and fix the circuit board. Then, while they were preoccupied, Gorilla Canth returned and attacked the limp BioRobo. However, the heroes brought the spare circuit and fixed their mecha. Biomen jumped in the BioRobo and fought the evil Mecha Gigan. Once repaired, they again faced the strength of Gorilla Canth before creating an opening with Super Maser to slash its middle before finishing it off with Super Maser Concentration.
