Machine Onslaught Empire Matrintis

The Machine Onslaught Empire Matrintis (機械禦鏖帝国マトリンティス Kikai Gyoō Teikoku Matorintisu) are the third set of fictional antagonists that appear in the 34th Super Sentai series Tensou Sentai Goseiger. Like both of their predecessors (Universal Annihilation Army Warstar and Earth Condemnation Group Yuumajuu), the characters that comprise Matrintis are named after films. Matrintis's names come from movies that feature robots. Another naming quirk of Matrintis is that their names feature non-Japanese characters. The name "Matrintis" is itself a portmanteau of the title of the film The Matrix (マトリックス Matorikkusu) and Atlantis (アトランティス Atorantisu), referencing their origins from beneath the sea.[1] Unlike the Warstar and the Yuumajuu members who were modeled after terrestrial invertebrates, Matrintis characters are modeled after marine invertebrates.

Fictional history

Matrintis was an ancient empire that sank into the sea 4500 years ago due to an unknown event. However, due to a cybernetically modified survivor and his robotic creations taking refuge in the Machine Fortress Terminel (機械要塞ターミネル Kikai Yōsai Tāmineru, [Note 1]), the Matrintis Empire resurfaces in 2010 and used the likes of Warstar and the Yuumajuu to get an advantage over the Goseigers through studying their fighting abilities. After an failed attempt to obtain an energy source, the Matrintis Empire officially makes their presence known as they uses the information on the Goseigers to begin their plan to enslave humanity. However, the Matrintis Empire's leader meets his end in the long run after drafting Buredoran to his ranks.

Robogorg

Robogorg of the 10-sai (10（テン）サイのロボゴーグ Tensai no Robogōgu, [Note 2]) 33-44 was originally a human scientist who perfected a method to of immortality through cybernetics. Though ostracized for his methods prior to converting himself into a cyborg, the Matrintians begged for his help when their city sank into the sea. Since then, Robogorg believes all organic life because of their emotions have no purpose other than to serve him and his machines by using fear. Though he uses Matroids to do his dirty work, Robogorg is not above personally getting involved in fights if it benefits his need to gather data on an opponent. His title comes from his 10 built-in abilities whose Japanese names include the mora string sai: the Genius Brain (鬼才ブレイン Kisai Burein) to create and improve Matroid designs, the Punishment Bomb (制裁ボム Seisai Bomu), the Fortress Armor (要塞アーマー Yōsai Āmā), the Devastation Vulcan (撃砕バルカン Gekisai Barukan), the Blasting Missile (爆砕ミサイル Bakusai Misairu), the Lumbering Saber (伐採セイバー Bassai Seibā), the Dictatorship Hurricane (独裁ハリケーン Dokusai Harikēn), and the Salvation Cell (救済セル Kyūsai Seru) that would enable Robogorg to be rebuilt with help. His most powerful moves are the Calamity Destruction (厄災デストラクション Yakusai Desutorakushon) cannon, an all-out attack that causes earthquakes and can only be used once, and the Suicide Crusher (玉砕クラッシャー Gyokusai Kurasshā) self-destruct, with enough power to wipe out a continent. Using his creations to gather intel on the Goseigers, using Bred-RUN as his trumpcard against them. After getting enough info on his enemies, Robogorg makes his move to finish them off by using Bred-RUN as a sacrifice to seal the Tensouders and the Leon Cellular. However, the Leon Cellular is still functional as Gosei Knight ruins his scheme to kill the Gosei Angels easily. After enlarging he tries to use a self-destruct attack to wipe out the Goseigers and possibly all of Japan, but is stopped by Datas Hyper and Gosei Ground before being scrapped by Ultimate Gosei Great. However his head survives, taunting the Gosei Angels that he can easily rebuild himself with his Salvation Cell. However, Bred-RUN destroys the item and Rogogogu realizes Bred-RUN regained his memories with Metal Alice's help. Confirming his killer's true nature, Rogogogu's head is thrown into the air and obliterated by Bred-RUN's missiles. His spirit later appears to Brajira, futiley trying to attack him before being cast away.[2][3] He is named after RoboCop (ロボコップ Robokoppu) and modeled after a shrimp.

Robogorg is voiced by Jūrōta Kosugi (小杉 十郎太 Kosugi Jūrōta).

Metal-A

Metal-A of the Agent (エージェントのメタルA（アリス） Ējento no Metaru Arisu, 33-44) is Robogorg's personal attendant and the marshal of Matrintis who is the first high spec Matroid built by her master to serve him. In battle, able to shoot the breast-like G Cup Buster (Gカップバスター Jī Kappu Basutā) missiles on her chest, she calculates any factor and uses previous battle data to enhance specs on Matroid designs. She wields the Alice Pad (A（アリス）パッド Arisu Paddo) with the Alice Pad Sword (A（アリス）パッドソード Arisu Paddo Sōdo) mode that allows her to summon the Bibi Soldiers and the Bibi Bugs to fight for Matrintis and converts the Bibi Bugs into the Bibi Nails (ビービネイル Bībi Neiru) to enlarge the Matroids. After attempting to talk him to back away from the fight in their first encounters, Metal-A has since become a frequent rival of GoseiKnight. After being destroyed by Wonder Gosei Great, Metal-A loses Robogorg's respect as he deems her model low spec and installs a Punishment Bomb on her rebuilt body to keep her in her place. But after reviving Bred-RUN, and being saved by him, Metal-A developed an interest in the concept of friendship while starting to realize that the Goseigers can not be underestimated. Soon on the eve of the final battle, after learning that Robogorg only kept her around in order to perfect Bred-RUN into an ideal servant, Metal-A restores Bred-RUN's memory and sets up a scheme with him to do away with Robogorg. She then sacrifices herself to take Bred-RUN's place as a suicide bomber, letting Super Gosei Red detonate her Punishment Bomb. Though she barely survived the explosion, Metal-A is destroyed by Bred-RUN.[4][5] She is named after Metropolis (メトロポリス Metoroporisu) and modeled after a basket star.

Metal-A is voiced by Marina Inoue (井上 麻里奈 Inoue Marina).

Buredo-RUN

Buredo-RUN of the Cyborg (サイボーグのブレドRUN Saibōgu no Buredoran, 39-45) is the revived form of Warstar/Yuumajuu member Buredoran, turned into a cyborg by Robogorg and made into the newest member of the Matrintis Empire with his memory wiped out save his name and hatred for the Goseigers. As a result, Buredo-RUN is more of a team player and secretly perfected to be an ideal Matroid and serve as Robogorg's trump card against the Goseigers. His weapons are the BuredoLaunchers (ブレドランチャー Buredoranchā) in his shoulders and the Buremerangs (ブレメラン Buremeran) that he uses as close-range weapons. It would turn out that Robogorg copied Bred-RUN's original memory and keep it on his person for analysis on the Goseigers. By the time he learns of this, Buredo-RUN is used by Robogorg in a scheme to cripple the Goseigers and Gosei Knight that drained of most of his energy as a result. However, Buredo-RUN regained his memories prior to the battle thanks to Metal-A and had manipulated the fight's events so Robogogu's body would be heavily damaged by the Goseigers so he can personally finish the job. He then destroys Metal-A before leaving the Goseigers in shock. Taking the Terminel as his base of operations, Buredo-RUN reveals his true nature as Brajira of the Messiah.[6] As a Matrintis member, Buredoran's name includes the English word RUN and is modeled after an ammonite.

As with his previous incarnations, Buredo-RUN is voiced by Nobuo Tobita (飛田 展男 Tobita Nobuo).

Matroids

The Matroids (マトロイド Matoroido) are the robotic servants of the Matrintis Empire. They follow three protocols: conquer humans, punish humans, and protect themselves from any hostility. With the use of Metal-A's enhancement of the Bibi Bugs to become Bibi Nails, the Matroids are able to enlarge.
