Antenna Grumer (アンテナグルマー Antena Gurumā) is a satellite-themed Kurumaju of the Great Space Invasion Running Team Hashiriyan.
History
Cannonborg has decided to evaluate their methods by giving them a chance under his command, ordering them to get to work immediately. Itasha finds a parabolic satellite dish outside on a roof and throws her Ignition Key into it, creating the Antenna Grumer. The trio are impressed with their work as Cannonborg closely examines the Kurumaju. Unknowingly, while Cannonborg examined Antenna, he injected dormant modifications into his body by stabbing a wire tendril into Antenna’s back. The Trio command their monster to deploy out in the field though Cannonborg chuckles evilly as they all leave.
Moments later, panicking civilians are being chased and rounded up by Nejiretta so Antenna Grumer can install antennae on the heads of their captives. Antenna Grumer then transmits a broadcast frequency that places the people unwillingly under his control, forcing them to mimic his dance moves and then under the strain of not being able to control their bodies, causes them to scream in terror and he siphons their Ghassolin into his body. The Trio laugh at the misery of the humans and their goofy dancing, only for the four of the Boonboomgers to arrive on the scene. Antenna uses his “antenna humans” to slow down the team and prevent them from attacking as they cannot hit innocent people. They quickly figure out that the people are being controlled and Ishiro takes command since Taiya isn’t here, suggesting that they try to end the broadcast signal of Antenna Grumer somehow to free the people. After a stylish transformation while fighting off enemy combatants and avoiding hitting the mind controlled civilians, the Trio applaud the Rangers for a sec until they snap out of it and order Antenna Grumer to attack.
Things go pretty well for the Ranger quartet as they clear out the Nejiretta and Ishiro stealthily snipes off Antenna Grumer’s antenna tower off his head. Antenna passes out and the civilians are freed as their antenna disappear from their heads. Jou and Genba make sure everyone evacuates the area, but Antenna Grumer wakes up and acts oddly, then suddenly grows an antenna on his arm. The Rangers are surprised that their opponent can power up, with the Trio surprised as well but figuring out that Cannonborg did some modifications to Antenna to make him stronger.
Now completely overpowering the Boonboomgers, Antenna uses new attacks to render their weapons useless and then places Mira, Ishiro and Joy under his control. He names them his “Antenna Sentai BariBariger” and forces them to try to destroy Genba. Ishiro pleads Genba to try and destroy the other antenna to free them, but Genba believes that is easier said than done with all three of them attacking him. Genba is shot down and is in danger but Taiya arrives in the nick of time and changes into Bun Red, only to be shot in the back by Ishiro. Jou explains the situation despite trying to kill Taiya against his will.
The two Rangers decide to utilize the weaknesses of their teammates’s fighting styles to their advantage with Genba disarming Ishiro, who is a ranged fighter with his gun and lacking in hand to hand combat and Taiya using Mira’s quirk of holding her Boonboom Handle the wrong way against her. The latter proves moot as Jou loses his Boonboom Axe and Mira proves to be even more dangerous as a dual weapon wielder. The two power up to fend off the oncoming attacks, only to notice that their Changers interfere with Antenna Grumer’s signal. Taiya and Genba then continuously press the triggers to boost their power and jam the signal, blocking it entirely and freeing their teammates by shorting out Antenna Grumer’s ability to control them. The five Boonboomgers then finish off Antenna with a five sword strike Bakuage Handling Drive.
After Yeiyei's defeat, the Antenna Grumer revives and the Rangers combine into Boonboomger Robo and Bun Bun suggests that they try a new combination, forming Boonboomger Robo Shovel and Patrol Car 2 Custom. Antenna Grumer tries to use its Toxic Signal to control Bun Bun, but the wave is blocked by a barrage of missiles. The team quickly shifts to Boonboomger Robo Knight and quickly end the fight and destroy Antenna Grumer with a new Boonboom Finish sword technique, Bakuage Sword: Rounding Lap Finish.
