==History==
===TV Series===
Garada K7 was commandeered by Baron Ashura and his Ashura Corps alongside Doublas M2 to attack the Photon Power Laboratory and obtain Super Alloy Z for Dr. Hell, causing destruction along the way. When things looked grim with the Lab's defenses proving to be useless, Mazinger Z and Aphrodite A arrived to stop the Mechanical Beasts in their tracks. Garada K7 attacked Z with its missiles but they proved ineffective. It then turned to Aphrodite, severely damaging the feminine robot with its scythe, but was then kicked from behind by Mazinger before getting stunned by Rocket Punch. Garada attempted to assault Mazinger with a scythe throw while the Super Robot was grappling with Doublas M2 but ended up decapitating one of Doublas' heads instead. After Doublas M2 was destroyed by Koushiryoku Beam, Garada K7 rushed Mazinger Z with its scythe to avenge its comrade, but it was easily blown away by Rust Hurricane.
===Infinity===
10 years after the events of Great Mazinger, Garada K7 was one of the Mechanical Beasts rebuilt by Dr. Hell in his second attempt of world conquest. As with all of the other rebuilt Mechanical Beasts, Garada K7 is equipped with a Strengthening Heart, which is mounted on the left chest in Garada's case. During Mazinger Z's grand battle against the entire Mechanical Beast army, Garada K7 attempted to ambush Z from above with its scythe, but was noticed by Kouji, leading to it being intercepted by the Southern Cross Knives and dropping its scythe, which was then thrown by Mazinger to decapitate the revived Doublas M2. Garada tried to strike Z from the smoke with its remaining scythe, but it was parried by Z's Iron Cutter, before Garada K7 was horizontally bisected in half with the same weapon, destroying the Mechanical Beast for the second time.
==Trivia==
*The Garada K7 and Doublas M2 are the only Mechanical Beasts that have appeared in nearly all of the Mazinger Franchise series, Garada himself is largely considered the most popular of the pair for his skeletal appearance.
