Shocker Combatmen

The are troopers used by Shocker in their goal for world domination. While some are slightly modified humans, others are said to be creations of the Shocker Leader who are not really alive but are instead puppets that follow every command of him. 
Throughout the series, the Shocker Combatmen are slowly enhanced with time, with their final version proving much stronger than their original counterparts.

The Shocker Combatmen also appear in the Kamen Rider Decade series and movies (see Dai-Shocker and Super Shocker Combatmen), along with other media, such as the Let's Go Kamen Riders, Pretty Den-O Appears! movies or some stageshows.
