## Biography

### Solve It! The Great Persimmon And Pumpkin Mission

After the destruction of Dyrikai, another Dadaroid, named Gatlingar, appears along with a group of Robo Soldiers in the area where all of Dykirai’s blown up body parts are lying around. Gatlingar has the Robo Soldiers gather up Dykirai’s body parts in order to put him back together for their next scheme.

### Crush It! The Immortal Dada Army

The Earth Defense Force encountered a group of modified humans turned into cyborgs during an attempted bank robbery and manage to shoot them down after 40 shots, but then they self-destructed to leave no evidence behind. This turns out to be a test being run by Gatlingar who plans to modify humans into immortal cyborgs. Needing cyborgs to take around 100 shots, Gatlingar has the Robo Soldiers gather up young humans to be modified. Later, the cyborgs attempt to kidnap Kenji and Etsuko during a morning exercise but Grounzel and Skyzel fought them off. The two brothers then follow the cyborgs into a junkyard where they witness them being crushed in a compactor. The Kyodyne look around for the one who operated the compactor and find Gatlingar, who introduces himself to them. Gatlingar fires at the Kyodyne with his Gatling Nose and Gatling Arms but the duo manage to fight back, causing Gatlingar to retreat, saying he has no time to fight them. However, it’s soon revealed that Gatlingar didn’t actually leave the junkyard as his secret base is around there. Later, the Kyodyne figure out that Gatlingar is behind the human cyborgs that self-destructed and the disappearances of the young humans, so they and the Earth Defense Force look around the junkyard where they encounter Gatlingar for an entrance for his base. Gatlingar spies on them through an eye scope and plans to turn the troops of the Earth Defense Force into cyborgs to fight against themselves. Gatlingar then heads out and changes into his giant vehicle form to attack the Earth Defense Force base. As the Kyodyne make their way to the base to stop Gatlingar, the recently repaired Dykirai appears in the junkyard, much to the Earth Defense Force’s shock. Later, Gatlingar shoots at the Kyodyne as they make their way to stop him. However, after Grounzel changes into his Groundcar form, Gatlingar burrows into the ground ad retreats. Back at the base, where Dyrikai takes Etsuko, Colonel Marui, and Sgt Hosoda inside to turn them into cyborgs, the two Dadaroids prepare to turn Etsuko into a cyborg until she suddenly starts singing the Flower Blooming Song. Annoyed by the song, Gatlingar orders her to be burned to death instead. Fortunately, the Kyodyne arrive back at the junkyard, discover the base’s entrance, and break through to save Etsuko. After rescuing Etsuko, Colonel Marui, and Sgt Hosoda, the two brothers fight off Gatlingar and Dykirai in the base. During the fight, Skyzel kicks Dykirai’s head off so Gatlingar tries to put it back on for him until Skyzel kicks his head as well, turning it backwards. As they continue to fight in their conditions, Dykirai accidentally hits Hatlingar with his Blade Arm and ends up knocking his head off as well. The two Dadaroids manage to put each other’s head back on and continue fighting Kyodyne until the two brothers trick them into enter the freezing chambers. Before they could get frozen, the Dadaroids call forth the Earth Defense Force troops they already modified into cyborgs. The cyborgs free Gatlingar and Dykirai and start ramming themselves start Kyodyne to blow them up. The brothers manage to dodge them until Dykirai ties them up with his chain and they get blown up by four of the cyborgs at once.

### Did You See! Kyodyne’s New Finishing Move

After four of the cyborgs blow the Kyodyne up, the two brothers manage to endure the explosion, however, Grounzel loses his arm. With one of them injured, Gatlingar and Dykirai go in to finish them off where Gatlingar shoots at the Kyodyne with his Gatling Nose. Fortunately, the brothers were able to discover a secret passageway and make their way outside the base. Gatlingar and Dykirai start to chase after them with the cyborgs until Skyzel changes his Sky Jet form and escapes with Grounzel. Later, after Grounzel gets his arm repaired, the Earth Defense Force received a call from the real Doctor Kaido. Hearing an airplane and train during the phone call, Grounzel and Skyzel visit 400 possible locations to search for clues. Meanwhile, Gatlingar plans to attack Tokyo to lure the two brothers out in order to take them down, so he orders the Dada Ship to start attacking the city and turns the citizens into golden statues with the ship’s beam. Gatlingar then sends a message to the Earth Defense Force base and tells them to bring forth Kyodyne within two hours, otherwise they’ll annihilate Tokyo. After the Earth Defense Force attempt to fight off the Dada Ship themselves, the Kyodyne make it on time and call out Gatlingar and Dykirai out to fight them. The two Dadaroids confront the Kyodyne and summon their Cyborg Army to blow them up. The Kyodyne dodge the cyborgs and perform their Sky-Ground Attack on the Dadaroids with Skyzel attacking Gatlingar. Skyzel fights with Gatlingar and manages to beat him down while Grounzel fights with Dykirai. Being overpowered, the two Dadaroids change into their Vehicle Forms. They start firing at the Kyodyne until the two brothers change into Sky Jet and Ground Missile. Grounzel attacks the Gatlingar and Dykirai from underneath while Skyzel attacks with his missiles from above. Grounzel then destroys Dyrikai by dropping him on top of Gatlingar, blowing them up. Gatlingar manages to assemblage himself back together and starts firing at Skyzel in the sky. Skyzel, however, circles around Gatlingar, causing his eyes to spiral out of control and get blown up. Grounzel then finishes Gatlingar off by ramming himself through his body, blowing up the Dadaroid.
