History[]
Yang apparently created Mechannon by himself with Miranda's help should his scheme go wrong. Yang kept it stored within a giant Guanyin statue where it was plainly visible for the whole world to see. The statue that Mechannon is hidden within it the first thing the Gekirangers find when they arrive in Hong Kong as they arrive right in front of it. However, it didn’t come into play until it is unveiled from inside the statue after the Gekirangers supposedly kill Yang with their Geki Waza Power Jab but he survived and teleports into it. Taking command, he uses it to fly into the city and decides to use its raw power to conquer the world instead of his own power which has proven inadequate. The Gekirangers summon GekiTouja and jump kick Mechannon back as Rio and Mele watch on and ponder whether to return to Japan or help. The two mecha start wrestling but Mechannon almost immediately gets the upper-hand with its extra arms and force it back before crushing it with its arms. It then starts comically slamming GekiTouja up and down into the ground with significant force before tossing it down with enough force to completely take it out of the battle.
Unfortunately for Yang, his follow-up comment about JyuKen being useless riles up Rio and Mele enough for them to join the battle if only to show the power of JyuKen to an arrogant idiot like Yang. As Mechannon stamps on GekiTouja and prepares to finish it off, RinLion and RinChameleon arrive and knock it back with energy blasts and tongue lashes. Together, they form GekiRinTouja using the Goetsu Doushuu teqnique which allows their Spirits to combine although they are typically enemies. Yang is astounded to see them working in unison which allows GekiRinTouja to deliver a beatdown to Mechannon with its sword until the mech manages to knock it back with a strike from its arm. However, Mele restrains it with RinChameleon’s tonque whilst Rio blasts it as it breaks free. Overpowered, Yang decides to drain all of the Qi of the inhabitants of Hong Kong and become all powerful so it jumps up and ascends a skyscraper. However, GekiRinTouja follows and they reach the opposite rooftop at the same time so Yang activates Mechannon’s signature move, the Mechan Violent Wind Slash, but GekiRinTouja jumps up too and finishes off Mechannon with its Fierce-Fierce Opposing-Opposing Slash. The single attack tore Mechannon apart at the seams and Yang arrogantly claimed that he would not die because of his power. However, Mechannon exploded in mid-air, taking Yang down along with it.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Power: Mechannon was the most powerful opponent that the Gekirangers or even Rio and Mele had faced up until that point, easily defeating and crippling GekiTouja and forcing the Gekirangers and Rinjuken to work together in order to stop it.
- Voice Projection: Mechannon was able to project a distorted version of Yang’s voice from itself.
- Flight: Mechannon was able to fly by utilizing rocket boosters near its backside to project itself into the air.
- Mekkan Otoshi: Yang was able to channel his energy through Mechannon to let it throw GekiTouja through several buildings and cripple it.
- Mekkan Drop: Mechannon’s finishing attack which could have destroyed GekiTouja where it spread its arms in and out four times. What would happen past that remains unclear as RinLion and RinChameleon intervened before it could finish.
- Mechan Violent Wind Slash: Mechannon's most powerful attack where it jumped off of the top of a building and seemed to jump kick before spinning upright and striking the enemy with a powerful yellow energy slash from it’s right pincer. However, it was useless against GekiRinTouja.
Abilities[]
- Enhanced Leaping: Mechannon was able to jump onto the side of a skyscraper with a single bound.
- Enhanced Strength: Mechannon could wrap its arms around GekiTouja and walk forward with enough force to push it back. At full strength, it was able to wrap its arms around GekiTouja’s neck and slam it up and down into the ground.
- Arm Crush: Mechannon was strong enough to wrap its arms around GekiTouhja and deal heavy damage by crushing its torso.
- Enhanced Durability: Mechannon was barely fazed by a jump kick from GekiTouja as well as then shrug off several punches to its middle from the Giant Robo. Even multiple energy blasts and tongue strikes from the RinBeasts just knocked it back.
