History
Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light
A huge robotic weapon created by TPC as the Prometheus battleship, the robot revealed itself back on base after being "mollusionized" by the Monera Aliens. When challenged by Ultraman Dyna, the robot dominated the hero, blocking his attacks and decimating the area with its Gatling gun. After the hero turned into his Miracle Type and its attacks were reflected due to the machine's shield, Deathfacer drifted into the sky and prepared to fire the Neo Maxima Cannon! Dyna managed to escape the blast, but the whole island was reduced to a smoldering crater.
Not long after, Deathfacer was unleashed on Japan. Super GUTS attacked it with little effect. One of the crafts was lodged in a skyscraper. The machine prepared to fire an energy beam, but just before it could get a direct hit, Asuka called on Ultraman Dyna for the rematch.
The hero arrived in his Strong Type and lifted the alien war machine up. The robot still managed to fight back, matching Dyna's strength to its fullest. After its other attacks failed, Deathfacer tried to use the Neo Maxima Cannon. Before he could fire again, Dyna thrust his hand right through its body! Stunned and half-destroyed, the powerful robot was helpless as he was hoisted into the air and thrown into the sky where its body exploded from the damage it sustained.
Trivia
- The Deathfacer was originally named the Genocyber (ジェノサイバー Jenosaibā) in the early design stages.[1][2]
- No thought was put into how the Prometheus was transformed into the Deathfacer. Heavy panel linings were added onto the design to present how extensive the ship was transformed.[2]
- There was originally an orb object in between the head horns. The designer Hiroshi Maruyama intended it to be constantly moving with the use of CG and later changed to the use of a motor, but it was ultimately scrapped.[2]
- The sound effects made by Deathfacer are a combination of those made by Zamu Revenger and Alien Reguran.
- Deathfacer's costume would be reused years later to make the robot, Beatstar.
- The Prometheus is a prop modified from Mydo's battleship, Sky Shark.
- A schematic of the Prometheus is visible on the front page of a Team EYES TECCH Thunder's operations manual.[3] Warm Memories
- In Dark Lugiel's collection in Ultraman Ginga, Deathfacer was visible as a Spark Doll along with Ace Killer, Mecha Baltan, Alien Hipporit, Alien Babarue, Ghighi, Mochiron, Gatanothor, Goldras, Birdon, Gan-Q, Twin Tail, Dada, and a lot of other monsters and aliens.
