ATM Grumer (ATMグルマー Ei Ti Emu Gurumā) is an ATM-Themed Kurumaju from the Great Space Invasion Running Team Hashiriyan.
History
Yaiyai is mocking Cannonborg with an impersonation, which Decotrade and Itasha applaud upon his performance concluding. Decotrade calls their captain “Four-Eyes” and a slave driver which the others agree on. The Trio suddenly hear a woman singing about payday as she merrily hops and skips down the stairs. They hide so she doesn’t see them and observe her from a distance, wondering what she is so happy about. They follow her to an ATM and Itasha prevents the woman from making a withdrawal to insert her Ignition Key into the card slot, transforming the ATM into the ATM Grumer.
ATM uses his Hashiriyan Bills to “check the balance of humans”, literally crushing victims under the weight of money. Sakito arrives and becomes Bun Violet to deal with the Nejiretta and Mira, Jyo and Genba help the civilians by removing the Hashiriyan Bills from their faces so they can move and escape from danger. Taiya and Ishiro meet up with the others and they all transform, doing a less than stellar roll call because Sakito interrupts and cuts in and their timing is off. The team argues about it, which leaves them open for ATM to use his Hashiriyan Bills, which hits Mira and she gets crushed by the weight of money.
Ishiro figures out that the attack affects people who have received money or have hidden amounts of cash, as Mira got her paycheck yesterday. Knowing this, Ishiro orders Taiya to fall back and “deliver himself to safety”, as the billionaire would very likely be crushed to death by the weight of his wealth if one of those bills attached to his face. Ishiro will take charge of the team and Sakito is willing to help given he owes them for the curry earlier. ATM tries to attack again but the Boonboomgers shoot him before he can fire more of his evil currency at them. Bun Bun and Agent Saibu are surprised to see Taiya back at the garage, who doesn’t feel great about leaving his team to fend for themselves and is forced to just wait around.
Back at the fight, ATM uses coin bombs to blind the Rangers long enough to fire his bogus bills at them. Ishiro orders the team to hide behind Jyo as a shield, with the attack not affecting him because Jyo is flat broke today after buying expensive exercise gear. Jyo is upset that Ishiro knows that but he replies that he is an information broker so it is part of his job to know everything about his team. Sakito is amused, saying he and Jyo are “brothers in being broke”, which Jyo says is only temporary until he gets paid again.
Sakito weakens ATM with his Gatling attack and the team finishes off the terrible automatic teller with the Bakuage Handling Drive, but not without a bit of bickering with Sakito who interrupts to try and steal the spotlight. Sakito eventually joins in and uses the ByunByun Arrow Drive, their combined effort defeating ATM.
Yaiyai enlarges ATM with the Highway Beam and the team rolls out with ByunByum Mach Robo and Boonboomger Robo without Taiya. Byundi gets the advantage with his speed and flying ability, but that is soon taken away as ATM fakes a money jam and waited for Byunbyum Mach to get close to hit him. Byundi is crushed, who confesses to Sakito that he had a hidden nest egg of cash saved up, who is outraged that now of all times he learns about this. ATM is too strong for Bun Bun to handle and Byundi is pinned down and struck by coin bombs, Bun Bun shields him from another bombardment and boosts to get him out of harm’s way by hiding behind some tall buildings.
The Rangers can’t get near ATM with his powers and ranged attacks, so Byundi suggests that Bun Bun take his wings and fly to attack ATM from the air. Bun Bun admits he is still scared to be off the ground, but Byundi encourages him by saying he isn’t alone this time, he has a great team of friends to rely on so he has nothing to be scared of. Taiya speaks to Bun Bun from the garage, saying there is nowhere that they can’t reach together and flying for the first time is the most cranked up thing ever to experience as everyone encourages Bun Bun not to give up. He finally summons the courage and asks Byundi to give him his Mach Wing, combining with it to take to the skies and calling himself Wing Boonboomger Robo.
The first flight is a bit rough as Wing Boonboomger dodges thrown coin bombs while the Rangers deal with struggle of jet fighter like G-forces while flying. They use Burundi’s crossbow to shoot ATM in the head. Byundi admires Bun Bun, saying that is the racer he knew, someone who races on a course and then masters it by focusing to stay ahead of everyone else. Taiya is in awe at the new combination, one born from friendship, but then has an idea of how to destroy ATM. He changes into Bun Red and boards the cockpit, ordering Bun Bun to be right above ATM. The Grumer hits Bun Bun with his Hashiriyan Bills, only to realize too late that the attack sped up Bun Bun’s fall towards him and Taiya destroys the cash creep with the improvised “Flying Total Asset Slash”, with the weighed down blade ripping ATM in half and causing him to explode. Byundi is freed from the weight of money and the two aliens celebrate with a fist bump.
