History[]
The Magnet Banki made his first appearance at the Hellgaile Palace where he demonstrate his ability as he pulled Kitaneidas and Kegalesia towards him as the duo struggles to get themselves unstuck from this robot.

As this goes on he sends a car careening towards a building exploding it in the process as the Magnet Banki was sent flying towards the outside. However his mayhem was then stopped by the arrival of the Go-Ongers as they transformed and battles him. However he used his ability as he pulled the team's gun towards him so Ren tried to call Hanto, but there's no response to it. So they used their rods and slam the Magnet Banki towards the wall defeating him in the first round.
Back at the palace he reports his failure to the crime ministers, so Yogostein decides to upgrade the Magnet Banki into an Electromagnet Banki to give him an edge during the next confrontation with the Go-Ongers.
He then arrived in Human World as he used his upgraded ability to cause more mayhem in the city, but when the Go-Ongers showed up and were about to use the Highway Buster he used his ability and instantly pulled the team's weapon towards the bot thus preventing them from using the Highway Buster. As this goes on he began to pull the team towards him as they hold on to their dear life. Thankfully Hant arrived with a wrecking ball and as soon as the Magnet Banki tried to pull the vehicle towards him Hant releases the latch and the huge ball sent flying towards the Magnet Banki as he was sent crashing towards a building.
