Synopsis[]
Satan Egos brings Hedder back as a monster in a scheme to allow him to finally gain access to Battle Fever's base for one final shot at Tetsuzan.
Plot[]
Satan Egos takes Hedder’s remains and transforms him into a kaijin with ESP powers. To call Battle Fever to battle, Hedder Monster resurrects multiple past giant robos: Doguu Robot
TV STORY-Ep. 6: Launch the Multipurpose Battleship, Sports Robot
TV STORY-Ep. 8: The Riddle of the Strongarm Ace, and Galaxy Robot
TV STORY-Ep. 14: Marriage of the Beauty and the Beast. They fly in with Battle Shark and the Battle Fever Robo to fight all of them once again.
When they realize that Hedder Monster is controlling their previous foes, they disembark and destroy it. However, Hedder’s eye attaches itself to Battle Kenya’s boot, and infiltrates their base. Kyutaro goes crazy trying to warn Shiro about the eye, but no one understands him. In the middle of the night, Hedder Monster resurrects himself from the eyeball, and lurks down the hallway to assassinate General Tetzusan. But the general’s senses are too keen, and he confronts the Monster. Hedder then reveals that he has explosives strapped to his body and threatens to blow up their entire base in 10 seconds.
This time, it is Kyutaro who saves the day, revealing a secret freezing spray. Battle Fever quickly takes the frozen Hedder outside and irradiates him to ashes, only for him to grow giant-sized. They need to give the Battle Fever Robo an extra power boost to destroy the Hedder Robo.
