History
Ultraman Dyna
Shieldron was a insect who mutated into a thick, oil/chemical drinking beast. He was seen doing wreckage to a chemical factory. After calling Mai and Asuka, Super GUTS attacked Shieldron using the GUTS Eagle; but could not since Shieldron's third eye can sense the bullets and can raise his arms to deflect all shots. Eventually, Ultraman Dyna had to show up and take on the creature, but could not even dent the beast due to his danger predicting eye and his barrier-like arms. Soon, Dyna's Color Timer began to flash. Suddenly; the pitcher on Asuka's old baseball team showed up and taught Dyna how to use the Ultra Fork; an attack where Dyna concentrates his Solgent Beam into a baseball and hurls it. Although the first shot was deflected, Dyna did not give up and threw the second ball under Shieldron's arms and hit him in the stomach. After being hit in his weak spot; Shieldron fell over and exploded. Winning Shot
Shieldron was recreated on an island and purposely used as a test item for Clone Silvergon. The two eventually fought and, although Shieldron deflected most of Silvergon's attacks, it was soon knocked down by Silvergon's powerful tail and beaten to death when Silvergon rammed his tail on Shieldron's head repeatedly.

Merchandise
The Shieldron figures
Both versions of Shieldron where only released once by Bandai in their 1998 Ultra Monster Series. Both toys have became rare in recent years and is valued by collectors. Both toys share the same mold and both have the same paintjob patterns as well, with highlights of yellow for Shieldron and purple for Clone Shieldron on the neck, torso, and thighs. Intricate pattern can also be found on the tail. There are much controversy surrounding the Clone Shieldron figure, as Bandai had not bothered to mark the foot of the toy as a clone, just like the Clone Shieldron toy. However, the toys are still eye candy and can be tons of fun for anyone, little kids and adults alike. Shieldron was tagged as 116 and Clone Shieldron was tagged 116-EX.
