Keyloid (キーロイド, Kīroido) was a key-themed Metaloid.
History
Keyloid is created by Escape shortly after she comes to Earth for the first time. Taking some keys out of a car ignition, she uses the "close" Metavirus to create Keyloid who is told to imprison people in a building for the KeyZord to destroy in order to pacify Messiah. By hitting something with a beam emitted from his forehead, the Keyloid can use the key on his right arm to make things inoperable, from making a building's doors refusing to open to jamming an Ichigan Buster. However, Keyloid's greatest tool is also his greatest weakness, as shattering the key will undo all progress Keyloid has done as happens when Masato Jin arrives and destroys his key arm with his Morphin Blaster after a brief fight with Ryuji. After the Busters free the people from a squad of Buglars that try to keep everyone inside the building so the Keyloid can lock down the building again, Escape sends Keyloid (in the process of welding his key arm back on) with the Buglars to stop the people from escaping the building before the KeyZord can arrive. However, it is in vain and Keyloid is destroyed by both Masato's Morphin Blaster and Ryuji's Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode.
Personality
Keyloid was obsessed with locks and containment and often repeated "it'd be good" in his sentences as a variation on Escape's catchphrase.
