Plot

Achibuski village in Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos episode 3, "Steal the Metal Laster!"

The Devil Satan 6 attack the village of Achibuski looking for the Metal Laster. The townspeople claim they don't know what that is and are beaten. Meanwhile, Rom's party stops when a hungry Drill sets off to find some food. He gets falls in an acid swamp when collecting apples. The others save him but the acid causes his body to start to rust, and there are no rivers near by to wash the acid from his body. Jet sets off to find help. In Achibuski, one of the inhabitants admits the Metal Laster is in the village of Vira. Jet finds a well in a deserted Vira to clean Drill, and the rest soon join him. However, the locals appear and tell them not to enter, having mistaken them for those who attacked Achibuski. Just as Rom's party reluctantly leaves the Devil Satan 6 arrive and take a female villager named Min hostage.

The Metal Laster in Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos episode 3

The Devil Satan 6 beat Rom and Jet before the village chief tells them he knows of the location of the Laster, threatening to kill himself and take the secret with him unless they stop. An uneasy peace is made, allowing Rom and Jet to recover. However, the well doesn't help Drill, and they realize he needs the Metal Laster himself. Min, the daughter of the chief, offers to help them find it, showing Rom and Jet a map in her necklace. The chief meanwhile has led the Devil Satan 6 to a cave in Wolf Valley where the Laster is kept and takes Gillhead inside to show him. Gillhead takes the Laster, but is attacked by Rom and Jet. Rom summons Blade Dragon and retakes the Laster but Devil Satan 6 combine and steal it back. Blade Dragon then turns into Vikung-Fu. He beats Devil Satan 6 with his Fire Chop but the Gandora still escape with the Metal Laster. They proudly present it to Gades, who realizes it is fake and throws it at them. Back in Vira the chief reveals they took a jar of acid water kept around for security reasons. The real Laster is used to save Drill while the others note how much the mouth of the cave looks like the Wolf Crest. As Rom and his friends leave Min invites him to return some time. He promises to return, which delights Min but upsets Reina.
