Tomica Hero: Rescue Force - Disaster Generating Devices

Disaster Generating Devices

Disaster Generating Devices (災害発生メカ, Saigai Hassei Meka?) are used by the Neo Thera to cause disasters to reset the Earth from humanity's machinations.

  • Crisis Maker (クライシスメーカー, Kuraishisu Mēkā?, 1-13, 44-49): The first type of Disaster Generating Device, the Crisis Makers, each with a unique calamity to create a "Super-Disaster", land on Earth for Maare and her group to get with an instruction sheet included. The last Crisis Maker, the End Crisis Maker (エンドクライシスメーカー, Endo Kuraishisu Mēkā?, 13), was created by San using data of previous Crisis Makers stored within himself and the other executives. As a result of the data, the End Crisis Maker is capable of causing numerous Super-Disasters before being destroyed by Turbo Striker's Turbo Tornado. After losing all the Zukcrane, the Crisis Makers are reused by Maen in her final series of plans, upgraded to create physical forms from the elements themselves.
  • Terra Resetter (テラリセッター, Tera Risettā?, 14-25): Daen's personal Disaster Generating Devices, relaying commands from his fortress as it reforms an area into a desert. Each Terra Resetter has an alternate purpose as its residual waves damage the Rescue Suits overtime until they are modified to resist it. Daen eventually attaches all his remaining Terra Resetters onto his fortress, making it a giant Terra Resetter with enough power to turn 50% of Earth into a desert. However, once returned to normal, Daen uses the base's self-destruct to destroy it after getting it above the atmosphere.
  • AI Daen (AIダーエン, Ē Ai Dāen?, 25-27): The AI of Obuchi's black limo-like Core Striker, possessing all of Daen's thought patterns but none of his creator's humanity. Taking over after its master died, AI Daen begins a six-month planning phase while having the Three Great Executives to gather materials in order to create a black-version of the Rescue Striker for him to personally pilot, called the Dark Striker (ダークストライカー, Dāku Sutoraikā?). Once complete, AI Daen lures out the Rescue Force, making sure everything goes to plan as he uses R5's impulses to summon all five medium-scale Rescue Vehicles of the Rescue Force, combining with them all into one vehicle to destroy the Rescue Force. However, AI Daen didn't count on the appearance of Rescue Max and is unable to calculate the abilities of the robot as its combination is canceled and the Dark Striker is obliterated by Max Cannon. However, AI Daen leaves the Executives with the Dark Commander.
  • Crisis Cards (クライシスカード, Kuraishisu Kādo?, 28-38, 40-42, 44-45): Cards that are used by the Executives, slashed through the Dark Commander (ダークコマンダー, Dāku Komandā?) to relay a command to the Zukcrane below to carry out the disaster the card represents.
    • Megaton Crisis (メガトンクライシス, Megaton Kuraishisu?): Summons a Zukcrane, a Hard-type, or a Flight Model.
    • End Megaton Crisis (エンドメガトンクライシス, Endo Megaton Kuraishisu?) Summons the Omega Zukcrane.
    • Magnet Crisis (マグネットクライシス, Magunetto Kuraishisu?, 28): Activates a magnetic field to wreck all metal objects in its path.
    • Aurora Crisis (オーロラクライシス, Ōrora Kuraishisu?, 29): Produces a Dark Aurora that incinerates anything caught in its path.
    • Sonic Crisis (ソニッククライシス, Sonikku Kuraishisu?, 30): Uses a giant fight bell to cause buildings to collapse via sound waves.
    • Wind Crisis (ウィンドクライシス, Windo Kuraishisu?, 32): Uses the nearby fans to invoke winds as strong as hurricanes or generate blade-like gusts.
    • Bubble Crisis (バブルクライシス, Baburu Kuraishisu?, 33): Conjures bubbles created from a special liquid that explode on contact.
    • Microwave Crisis (マイクロウェーブクライシス, Maikurowēbu Kuraishisu?, 34): Allows Maen to hack into the Pilon Corp Development Department's Microwave Electric Transmitter, activating the Microwave Cannon and rewriting the system to attack people.
    • Plant Crisis (プラントクライシス, Puranto Kuraishisu?, 35): Activates a chalkboard that scratches itself, creating a sound that kills plant life. Though the Executives accidentally ripped the card in two and fixed it, the card only affects vegetables and places Vegataria City in a state of crisis. By the time it is found, R1 Max and R3 use Shovel Striker and Dozer Saver to bring the blackboard topside and smash it.
    • Magma Crisis (マグマクライシス, Maguma Kuraishisu?, 36): Activates a Zukcrane that uses a nail gun to penetrate the crust under Academia City to bring magma to the surface to cover the city. Used to bring the Rescue Force to the scene and bring out Rescue Max, the Zukcrane managed to get the rescue mecha to fall for its trap and fall towards the magma. However, with the Rescue Phoenix's aid, the Rescue Max escapes and scraps the Zukcrane.
  • Zukcrane (ズッケイン, Zukkein?, 28-38, 40-42, 45): A Super-Disaster Machine, based on the technology of the Rescue Vehicles and summoned by the "Megaton Crisis" Crisis Card as a last resort. Each Zukcrane model has a unique crisis-causing ability that it dangles until the Rescue Max disables it, leaving it defenseless to a Final Rescue. During the Kachikachi Bacteria incident, Maen uses a special Zukcrane model called the Zukcrane Hard Type (ズッケインハードタイプ, Zukkein Hādo Taipu?, 31), which is covered in the stiffness-inducing bacteria, rendering its body hard as stone with its joints waxed to give it movement. Only Rescue Max Drill Dozer had the power to scrap this advanced model. Acquiring the Omeganium as an energy source, Maen uses it to power the strongest model, the Omega Zukcrane (オメガズッケイン, Omega Zukkein?, 37-38), that is built to cause all volcanoes of the world to erupt by targeting convergences of magma. Starting at Suzukura to take out Japan, the Omega Zukcrane surfaces after the Rescue Max Drill Dozer scraps the two Zukcranes holding if off. The Omega Zukcrane easily overpowers the Rescue Max in the first round, provoking the Earth Federation to use an X0 Missile to stop it before it could drill into Suzaku Mountain. But after getting Rei and Juri out of it with the Rescue Saver, Hikaru forms the God Striker which overloads the Omeganium before scraping the Omega Zukcrane. A series of Flight Model Zukcranes (飛行型ズッケイン, Hikōgata Zukkein?, 40-42, 45) were later built to counter the Rescue Diver, only for each to be scrapped by the Super Rescue Max. The last Flight Model Zukcrane is equipped with a special hard-drying cement that is near unbreakable. Though it came close to taking out the Super Rescue Max Crane, Zero Fire's debut ended with the machine being scrapped.
  • Metal Train (メタルトレイン, Metaru Torein?, movie): A train built by Mataro Madono. Its designs were originally considered as a template for the Mach Train, but Nouvelle Ginza turned them down. Forging an alliance with the Neo Thera and donning the name "Doktor Madu", Madono hijacks the Mach Train with the intent of causing a train wreck strong enough to level the city where Nouvelle Ginza's main branch is located. Once the Rescue Force manages to get the Mach Train passengers to safety, Rescue Striker and Rescue Diver combine into Jet Vehicle Mode to pursue the Metal Train. The Metal Train releases its hold on the Mach Train to assume its Snake Train (スネークトレイン, Sunēku Torein?) mode in an attempt to overpower the Rescue Force before attacking the city. However, Jet Vehicle Mode reconfigures into Super Rescue Max to turn the tables, using Drill Blaster to shatter the Snake Train. Doktor Madu evades death, but is subsequently handed over to the Akebono authorities.
  • Kaen (カエン, kaen?, 7, 42, 48): A fire-based life form originally created by San to attack the headquarters for World Financial Services Agency.
  • Yuruyuru Bacteria (ユルユル菌, Yuruyuru Kin?, 9): A bacteriological weapon created by San to dissemble metal-based things it infects from the inside out, having a side effect that has infected humans move in slow motion before a vaccine is developed to kill off the bacteria. A new strain of the bacteria, Yuruyuru Bacteria 2 (ユルユル菌2, Yuruyuru Kin Tsū?, 22), is later introduced on those gathered for the Asia Counter-Super-Disaster Summit, infecting only humans in the form of chills, fever, and diarrhea before becoming fatal within an hour. Though a vaccine was developed to cure the infected, the remaining Yuruyuru Bacteria 2 gathers within a mountain and converges into a giant monster that attempts to cause a landslide until Rescue Saver and Drill Striker destroy it.
  • Kachikachi Bacteria (カチカチ菌, Kachikachi Kin?, 31): A bacteriological weapon created by Maen to stiffen anything thing it infects from humans to machines except wax. Maare uses the Dark Commander to spread them across the city in hopes of freezing the Rescue Force in place before they can begin the actual Super-Disaster. However, R1 and R2 manage to spread the vaccine across the city and cure the infected.
  • Microwave Cannon (マイクロウェーブキャノン, Maikurowēbu Kyanon?, 34): Secretly built by the Pilon Corporation to be the first of their manufactured weapons, it is activated by Maen when she hacks into the Development Department. Until Maare's control, she uses the Cannon to try and take out the Rescue Max while it is saving the people underneath the building. Once given the word, the Rescue Max Drill Dozer scraps the Microwave Cannon.
  • Kumanomi Bacteria (クマノミ菌, Kumanomi Kin?, 44): A bacteriological weapon created by Maen based on Clownfish DNA that turns infected men into women and thus removes humanity's ability to procreate. As part of a test at Kazaki Park, they turn Hikaru and Kyosuke into women. With the rest of the test a complete success, Maare activates the End Crisis Maker to spread the virus across the city with Ishiguro among the inflicted. With Hikaru and Kyosuke too feminine to be of any help, Rei and Juri pilot the Super Rescue Max as the virus takes the form of a giant monster clownfish. Once the monster is killed and the Crisis Maker is destroyed, Rei disburses the vaccine to return all the feminized men back to normal.
  • Geyser Dragon (46): A monster made of geyser water formed by the water orb containing a Crisis Maker, it overwhelms the Super Rescue Max Crane during the Kiyoizawa incident until its core is destroyed by the robot.
  • Plasma man (47): A monster made of plasma energy remote controlled by a Crisis Maker, able to fry any electric-based machine on touch. Though it ran off when the Executives accidentally lost the directions to the Crisis Maker, the Plasma Man resumed its attack at Nouveau Tokyo area where Teppei and his dad were going to take the Mach Train. It is then destroyed by the Super Rescue Max.
  • Gas (51): Unintentionally released into a school by the drained Executives, the gas affects people by playing on their fears. The gas is eventually neutralized by the Rescue Striker as it starts to manifest in the atmosphere.

Famous quotes containing the words disaster and/or devices:

    When wine is spilled with accident, death and disaster hasten.
    —Joseph O’Donnell. Clifford Sanforth. Ah Ling, Murder by Television, after he accidentally spills wine on Mrs. Houghland (1935)

    There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.
