Biography[]
Past[]
The Machinemen were manufactured as the basic soldiers of Black Magma and there also existed a scientist class that wore white labcoats.
Sun Vulcan[]
In 1980, the Machine Empire Black Magma emerge to threaten the Earth and conquer it by destroying the United Nations. The first attack involves a platoon of Machinemen and Grub Monger attacking the Guardians of the World Peace's headquarters but the new Sun Vulcan team easily fight off and kill them. A group of the scienctist Machinemen are later the ones to implant a mechanical heart inside Queen Hedrian.
When Sun Vulcan and Chief Arashiyama eventually storm the Iron Claw Castle to rescue Misa, a group of Machinemen and the Zero Girls guide them around the base with several witnessing Amazon Killer's final battle. The last few Machinemen are killed off when the Omnipotent God is killed and a bomb connected to it obliterates the Iron Claw Castle.
Turboranger[]
The very first Machinemen are recounted by the Livemen whilst they describe themselves to the Turborangers before thier first battle against the Hundred Boma Tribes.
Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Flying Ghost Ship[]
Several Machinemen are part of an army of past enemy grunts fought by the Gokaigers in Los Dark's ghost dimension which houses the 1500 spirits of the villains defeated by the Super Sentai. After losing some of their number in an initial skirmish, the remaining members from each grunt group merged to form the Combined Combatant. Though the stronger opponent, the Combined Combatant proves to be unstable due to internal conflicting among the grunts composing him over who got to finish the pirates off. Taking advantage, the Gokaigers use the Battle Fever J Ranger Keys to destroy the Combined Combatant with the Penta Force cannon.
Zenkaiger[]
After breaking his seal and escaping from the Agastia Base, Asmodeus summons the Kamen Rider and Super Sentai books from off the shelves and uses them to call forth an army of villains previously defeated by the Kamen Riders and Super Sentai which include a platoon of Machinemen. Many are destroyed but most of the Machinemen survive long enough to see Asmodeus' plans seemingly come to fruition until Touma Kamiyama manages to help Shotaro himself regain his passion for drawing out superheroes which, in turn, revives all of the Kamen Riders and the Super Sentai teams back into existence. Ultimately, the entire army itself is be wiped out by the full and combined might of Kamen Rider Saber as well as his fellow swordsmen and the Zenkaigers along with Zocks Goldtsuiker supported by the Kamen Riders and the previous Red Rangers.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Teleportation: The Machinemen could teleport to any location at will by abruptly materialising.
- Fighter Piloting: The Machinemen were very skilled at piloting the Hell Fighters.

- Machine Guns: The Machinemen also regularly used machine guns to try and cut down their enemies.
