===Ultraman Orb Chronicle Chapter 6-0: Overture===
Maga-Basser was one of the Lord Monsters created by Maga-Orochi, representing the element of Wind. In ancient times, Maga-Basser was sealed within the ionosphere above the North Arctic by Ultraman Mebius, until Juggler freed it via Peguila's Kaiju Card in the modern day.
===Ultraman Orb===
One peaceful day in Kitchitachi, Tokyo, an ancient bird-like monster who slept in the ionosphere suddenly woke up and wreaked havoc on the city with its powers of aerokinesis to create a Maga-Storm. According to the SSP, it occurred every few days and vanished just as suddenly. The team went into the open to investigate the strange phenomenon when suddenly, the monster got riled up and created the storm again. They decided to go inside the storm to get some answers and, when they were lifted by one of the tornadoes, what they found was the "Wind Lord Monster", Maga-Basser and a giant of light who quickly dispatched the monster for the moment.
Not only did the monster cause a lot of trouble in all of Tokyo with its storms, but, in accordance to the butterfly effect, it also created seven typhoons that popped up all over the Pacific. Maga-Basser eventually created his storm again and, when the storm cleared, he decided to reveal himself to all of Tokyo. The giant of light, who introduced himself as Ultraman Orb, also revealed himself in his Spacium Zeperion form and the two giants fought each other again.
They kept their fight evenly matched with their combat prowess and aerial advantages respectively. After Maga-Basser unleashed his Maga-Shockwave at him, Orb summoned his Sparion Light Ring at him and tried to redirect it when the monster flew away, but the attack only managed to get rid of several feathers. After brawling it out in the sky, Orb's Color Timer began to blink and seeing that his Fusion Up was starting to break up, Orb knew he had to wrap it up fast, so he unleashed his Sparion Beam at Maga-Basser and the monster exploded soon afterwards, ending his threat on Earth.
Afterwards, Orb's human form, Gai Kurenai, discovered the beast's Maga-Crystal and thanks to his Orb Ring, turned it into the Ultraman Mebius' Ultra Fusion Car], the Ultra who sealed away the monster in the first place. Meanwhile, the rest of the monster turned into a Kaiju Card recovered by the true perpetrator, Jugglus Juggler.
====Trivia====

*Maga-Basser's first all dark green feathers, while having a long tail and a different wing design.
*In early production, Maga-Basser was going to be called . However, due to Grand King already approved for use in the series, associate producer Okamoto Yuzo proposed the use of the phrase Maga as a common term across all Kaiju that would be used as Lord Monsters.
===Ultraman R/B===
Summoned by Makoto Aizen to search for the Wind Crystal, rampaged while the Minato siblings were trying to support Yuha in her attempt to fly. The giant bird initially had the advantage of the battle against the Ultramen until the Tiga Crystal was uncovered. Using it, Blu transformed into Wind form and countered Guebasser's wind manipulation abilities before both Ultras destroy it with Zero Twin Slicer and Storm Shooting. Its crystal was recovered by D.R.L.N. as Makoto returned it to the R/B Crystal Collection Case.

*Although a portion of viewers believe that Guebasser is Maga-Basser's original variant, Kiyotaka Taguchi state it as a of Maga-Basser, proving this breed is nonetheless another variant.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO9ZRWhdJa4
*This incarnation of Basser sometimes makes a "Gue" sound in its roars, as if it were saying the prefix of its name.
*In Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga, the Lishurian named Ignis has a broom made from Guebasser feathers as one of his many treasures, which allows him to fly and breach into Nursedessei undetected. He also lends it to Yuna at one point to reach Barriguiler despite her captain's protest.
===Ultraman Decker===
The presence of Terraphaser caused wild monsters to appear one after another, drawn to the robot and attacking it on instinct for reasons unknown. After a Gazort's unsuccessful attempt, and a flock of smaller appeared within a typhoon to intercept the robot just after it hand landed at the test site.
Due to its underdeveloped artificial intelligence, Terraphaser fared poorly in a fight against Raibasser, ending with it getting shorted out beyond repair by an electrical attack, rendering it inactive before Raibasser escaped after its first victory. The GUTS-Select members Kanata Asumi, Ichika Kirino and Soma Ryumon then aided Yuichiro Asakage in getting to the machine's maintenance hatch to use HANE2]]'s combat data thus far as a replacement AI, but on the way, they were attacked by the Hinabassers. One of them managed to capture Kanata and intended to drop him to his death from a great height, but the man transformed into Ultraman Decker at human height, joining the other two GUTS-Select members in holding off the Hinabassers until Terraphaser was successfully reactivated. With Decker's help, they manage to defeat all the Hinabassers assaulting them while Terraphaser dealt with Raibasser until HANE2 started to overheat. Decker then grew to giant size and brandished the Ultra Dual Sword, finishing off the monster using the Triple Decker Scram.
