Bikkurium (ビックリウム Bikkuriumu)) was the special method utilized by the Barbaric Machine Clan Gaiark to enlarge themselves in a process dubbed Industrial Revolution (びっくりうm Sangyō Kakumei).
Process[]
After a member of the Gaiark was defeated, they would announce "Industrial Revolution." By doing so, special mechanisms within thier bodies would activate and pump Bikkurium across thier bodies. The chemical would empower thier bodies with immense power and cause thier forms to expand to giant size.
History[]
Bikkurium is invented by the Gaiark sometime before thier invasion of Earth but is not perfected until Incinerator Banki is forced to retreat for the first time. Ready for use, Industrial Revolution is later used for the first time after the Highway Buster defeats Incinerator Banki. TV STORY-GP 01: Allies of Justice

After being recharged with Bikkurium, which takes longer in his case so some Barbaric Dohma are sent as an advance guard, Mirror Banki reveals his true Land/Sky/Sea Form, possessing the powers of all three Pollution Ministers but Engine-O G6 is able to scrap him.

Notes[]
- Although this process was not adapted into Power Rangers, instead opting for an undefined "download", footage of Bikkurium being pumped through the Machine Beasts was usually retained when the Venjix Virus grew his Attack Bots.
