Subtitle: Four Dimensional Robot-Beast (四次元ロボ獣 - Shi-jigen robo-jū)

Powers/Weapons

 * Energy Beam : Mechagiras can fire an Energy Ray from its mouth.
 * Missiles : Mechagiras can fire missiles from its mouth and chest in rapid succession.
 * Force Field : Mechagiras can generate a blue force field around itself to protect it from physical and projectile assaults. However, the force field can only exist when Mechagiras remains in the 4th dimension. As soon as it leaves, its field disappears.
 * Dimensional Travel : Mechagiras can create dimensional holes in order to travel long distances.
 * 360 Degree Head : Being a robot, Mechagiras can rotate its head 360 degrees, allowing it to fire in any direction. However, overusing the joint will make Mechagiras slow and cause the breakdown of inner joints.

Weakness
As stated above, Mechagiras cannot overuse his 360 degree head. Mechagiras also has a very fragile design that makes him low on defense.

History
Mechagiras was a robot built by the Bam aliens to attack Earth. After Takeshi was captured, unable to transform into Ultraman 80 after a machine was built by the aliens, Mechagiras was sent to assault the city, firing its arsenal on the city, not even U.G.M’s assault team could damage the robot.

Once Takeshi had escaped and destroyed the machine that prevented him from calling forth 80, Mechagiras was again let loose. Ultraman 80 appear and clashed with the machine, but its energy shield preventing the Earth’s hero from touching him, and its missiles quickly floored 80. The hero managed to find a way around the shield, however, and flew into the air and circled the robot, firing bolts of energy into it from all sides.

As Mechagiras was damaged, Ultraman 80 lifted the robot out of the Fourth Dimension and finished off the machine with his Saxium Ray, destroying Mechagiras and the Alien Bam.
