Doublerock is a barbaric two-headed Rock Person who works for the Gandora. He often operates with fellow evil Rock People Devilrock and Geigerrock to make up the Evil Rock Superhuman Corps. His weapon of choice is his Plasma Thunder Mace, but he sometimes carries a shoulder mounted missile launcher. He also has a Bomber Punch, Heat Beam and a Freeze Beam (which fires from his right mouth). He can turn into a large rock of coal and if shattered he can reform. He can fly, teleport and pass though solid soil rock with ease. He stands 6 feet tall and weighs 1.2 tons. He occasionally pilots a Rock Commander craft.
Reception
Animated series
Doublerock first appeared in Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos episode #20, "The Man From Gandora", although he did very little besides stand behind Devilrock and Geigerrock during a fight and disappearing just as Rom Stol arrived.[2]
Devilrock, Doublerock and Geigerrock appeared in episode #21, "The Heart of a Protecting Angel" members of the Gandora forces that took control of the population of Gurian City. The three were attacked by Rom Stol, but he was quickly overpowered with Lafu's powers. Although Rom and his companions were temporarily subdued by Lafu, once they were freed Rod Drill tackled Doublerock and threw him into his two fellow rock Rock People. Blue Jet slashed the three evil Rock People with his sword. Once they three realized the people of the city were free and fighting back, they retreated.[3] Note: Two Doublerocks and Devilrock are briefly seen from the back supervising the workers in Gurian City. It is possible this was an animation error and one Doublerock was intended to be Geigerrock.
In episode #22, "Rockdon Versus Rockgilen" Devilrock, Doublerock and Geigerrock were among the Gandora who enslaved a Rock People village.[4]
Doublerock appeared in episode #24, "Gather All Machine Robo". Devilrock, Doublerock and Geigerrock followed Kendo Robo into the desert in his quest to recover ammunition for his city.[5]
In episode #27, "The Magic Mountain Knight Maskrock" Devilrock, Doublerock and Geigerrock spied on the team lead by Rom Stol on their way back to Yamalin City.
Devilrock, Doublerock and Geigerrock appeared in episode #30 "Spew Fire, Big Blaze Cannon". Doublerock's attempt to capture Reina Stol and use his Freeze Beam on her resulted in him being shot by Pro Truck Racer.[6]
In episode #31, "The Curse of the Demon Sword Medusa", Battle Robo and Skyline Robo retreated into the desert after being caught in a Gandora trap. The pair were ambushed by Devil Rock and Doublerock, but were saved by Tough Trailer.
Devilrock and Doublerock appeared in episode #34, "Vikung-Fu Disappears In Space" as part of the Gandora attack force.
In episode #35, "The Secret of the Jewel People", Devilrock and Doublerock pursued Magnarock until Rom and Pro Truck Racer intervened. He was part of the force lead by Diondra that attempted to kidnap Rubyman, but failed.[7]
In episode #38, "Raise Your Gun Helitranser", Rom Stol lead a team which attempted to ambush Devil Satan 6 members Gillhead and Barabat in the city streets, but it ended up being a trap set by Ashura and many Gandora, including Doublerock. Doublerock aided Diondra in searching for an artifact near a waterfall when the group was attacked by a team lead by Rom Stol. Doublerock was split in half with a sword by Blue Jet. Doublerock was not seen for the rest of the series.
Note: In the series Doublerock was colored more like his Rock Lord counterpart Sticks 'N Stones. In some English subtitles of the series he is called Logu.
