Mettzler (メッツラー Mettsurā, 1-49) is a Beastnoid of Neo Empire Gear, working alongside Doctor Man and the Big Three; notably working with Fara later in the series.
History[]
Mettzler is a being notable for his mechanical helmet-like head with one eye and eerie abilities, mostly originally fighting alongside Fara or Mason during their schemes against Bioman (although he did also briefly worked with Monster alongside the other four Beastnoids in the beginning of the Bioman movie)
When the Big Three assassinate apparently the Doctor Man, Mettzler and the other Beastnoids fall on their command and fight the Biomen with Faracat. But the Doctor Man is revealed to be still alive. The Five Beastnoids are present with Faracat when their creator punishes and brainwashes the Big Three but they are spared not having participated to the mutiny.
During the arrival of a meteor to Earth that interfered with Bioman's Super-Electron Brains, Mettzler worked with the other four Beastnoids to crush Bioman in their hour of weakness. He fought Green2. However, Doctor Man decides to weed out weaker Beastnoids by using his new weapon, the Neo Mecha-Gigan Metal Megas, to attack both the Beastnoids and Bioman in order to see who would survive while trying to crush his enemies. Mettzler survived alongside Psygorn and both were rewarded with Miracle GX upgrades; with Mettzler's upgrades making him become a stronger partner that worked alongside Fara, though he still worked with Mason on two occasions. Because of his upgrade, he ends up being the first to take an incomplete Super Electron during Bioman's crisis to dealing with Gear's upgraded forces.

After the Anti-Bio weapon Balzion is seized by Gear, Mettzler goes with Fara to protect her after she decides to use the mecha to finish off Bioman. During the battle, Mettzler is wounded by Silva. After dislodging Fara from the enemy machine, Bioman attempt to use Super Electron to finish her off, but Mettzler chooses to take the hit to protect her and Faracat, destroying him in the process.
