Kudakks (クダック Kudakku) are the (former) footsoldiers of the Kikaitopia Dynasty Tojitendo in Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger.
History[]
Zenkaiger[]
The very first Kudakks seen in the series accompany Mobile Commander Barashitara to the World of Kikai which has avoided Tojitendo capture until now and Gege has convinced Great King Bokkowaus to launch a traditional invasion instead of just making it another Tojiru Gear in the usual fashion. Barashitara declares that this world belongs to the Tojitendo before sending his Kudakks in to attack. After destroying most of a plaza, they spread out into the nearby area with three fighting a woman and her broom but Kaito Goshikida (a guy who confronted Barashitara moments ago and has been thrown several miles) recovers with a mixture of martial arts and a bucket. Later, the Kudakks continue attacking whilst Kikaitopian Juran sits down and realizes that he is perceived as a monster only for a Kudakk to target a child and he has to step in to stop it. At this moment, Kaito reappears wielding a Transformation Gun Geartlinger with which he guns down a Kudakk which forces the Kudakks to regroup. Once they return though, Kaito and Juran have teamed up and gun down a random Kudakk after Barashitara and a Kudaiter join the batte. They then henshin into Zenkaizer and Zenkai Juran respectively who easily wipe out the Kudakks with the Juran Sword and Geartlinger before killing the Kudaiter and sending Barashitara packing. 
TV STORY-No. 1-kai! The World of Kikai is Kikikaikai!
After the dissolution of Tojitendo and the defeat of an unnamed god, the Kudakks are given a second chance by the Zenkaigers to live peaceful lives, now being proper citizens of Kikaitopia alongside the Kikainoids.

Muscle Kudakk[]
A special Kudakk called the Muscle Kudakk appeared during the Vacances World incident which was on Vacances Worlds team during the Summer Games with the Zenkaigers and the World Pirates, the Muscle Kudakk resembled the normal Kudakks with the only exception being that it's upper body possessing a more muscular build. TV STORY-No. 24-kai! The Invasion is Complete! Can You Recapture it?!
Personality[]
Like many other Sentai footsoldiers, the Kudakks are little more than mindless cannon fodder with their main goal just being destroy everything.
After the Tojitendo had been all but destroyed, the remaining Kudakks show a peaceful side to them, with them now going to school and roaming around with the citizens of Kikaitopia. A drastic contrast from their original behaviour in a majority of the series. This kind behaviour was also shown when they interacted with Kikainoids and the Zenkaiger’s under the effects of Vacances World’s ability, playing around and joining along in a summer competition against the Zenkaiger’s for fun.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Adaptability: By inserting a Tojiru Gear onto the slot that is located in the middle of a Kudakk's chest, the aforementioned Kudakk automatically upgrades itself into a Kudaiter followed by the newly made Kudaiter gaining a new set of powers and weapons which are based on that particular Tojiru Gear in order for itself to become a World.
- Icy Surface Scaling: The Kudakks were able to maintain traction on Ice World's ice rink.
Abilities[]
- Strength: A single Kudakk was able to take down a fully grown man with a light smack to the side of his head from its Plug Lancer.
Weaknesses[]
- Weak Nature: The Kudakks were extremely weak and easy to defeat. They only ever posed a danger in great numbers.
- Stupidity: The Kudakks weren't very bright, since Yatsude Goshikida holding an ordinary broom was able to fend off three of them.
Arsenal[]
- Plug Lancers (プラグランサー Puragu Ransā): The Kudakks wield two-pronged power plug-like spears in combat.
- Bullets: They are able to shoot from their Plug Lancers.
