Kabuto Canth (カブトカンス Kabutokansu, 1) is a horseshoe crab-like Mecha-Gigan of Neo Empire Gear, assisting Mason and Messerjū.
Overview[]
Kabuto Canth was the first Mecha-Gigan deployed by Doctor Man to assist in the invasion of Technotopia 21. He was the first to battle Bio Robo, and was destroyed by the Straight Flush attack.
History[]
Kabuto Canth was first seen in Neo Grad fortress hangar alongside Devil Canth, Beetle Canth and Gorilla Canth when he was chosen by Doctor Man to be the first Mecha-Gigan to invade Technotopia 21 under Mason orders. Kabuto Canth was sent to Japan inside a metallic orb, and when he arrived at the city, he flew out of the orb and turned himself into his ball form to land on the ground. During the Mechaclones raid on the city, Kabuto Canth started destroying some buildings with his cannons and his right arm flail.
Later, after Messerjū failed in defeating the Biomen, Kabuto Canth was ordered to destroy the team, but Bio Robo appeared and rescued the group. During the battle, Kabuto Canth gained the upper hand since his opponent's inexperience with maneuvering made the robot fall. When the Biorobo regained its stance, he evaded the mecha attacks and stroke some hits with his sword before piercing Kabuto Canth with the Super-Maser Straight Flush, defeating him.
