After [[Mylene Farrow]] disposed of Brontes and her own Bakugan [[Elico]], Volt received a newly-built Boriates at an unspecified time between the two arcs of ''[[Bakugan: New Vestroia]]''.
Boriates physically debuted in ''[[Brontes' Betrayal]]''. Its battle was with [[Gus Grav]], using a newly evolved [[Alto Brontes]], who was seemingly brainwashed by a [[Forbidden Ability Cards|Forbidden Ability Card]]. Boriates was forced to hold back for the majority of the brawl, which meant it could not display most of its brute force. As a result, it suffered a crippling defeat in both rounds without attaining any victories (barring its successful "win" against [[Hexados]]).

In ''[[Samurai Showdown]]'', Boriates faced [[Master Ingram|Ingram]] and, later, [[Saint Nemus|Nemus]]. Despite being severely outnumbered, Boriates won the first round. After an attempt to use the same strategy again, Baron and Nemus joined the battle and turned the odds back into their favor, successfully pulling out a victory in the second round. The final round saw the debut of [[Hexstar]], whom Boriates rode in a final clash with Ingram and Nemus. This resulted in the failure to acquire the Ventus Attribute Energy.
In ''[[Ambush]]'', Boriates battled [[Saint Nemus]] and [[Master Ingram]] alongside [[Macubass]], in an apparent grudge match (though with aid this time). Due to the Vexos Trap Field, Boriates quickly made up for its previous failure by directly defeating Ingram and taking the Ventus Attribute Energy.
In ''[[Volt's Revolt]]'', Boriates was used for the final time after Volt was discovered leaving the Vexos by [[Hydron]]. This resulted in a brawl with Dryoid, which Boriates won in a close first round. Growing tiresome of Hydron's antics, Volt activated the '''Custom Battle Ability'''. Hydron panicked and activated a sequence of Dryoid's abilities. Volt capitalized and finished the brawl with a powerful '''Olympus Cannon'''. He then revealed the secondary effect of the '''Custom Battle Ability''': Boriates does not return to ball form. Despite initially ordering Boriates to crush Hydron beneath its fist, Volt quickly decided against it and returned Boriates to its ball form, before subsequently falling victim to a [[Death Bomb]].
As of ''[[Final Fury]]'', Boriates was the only [[Vexos]] Mechanical Bakugan whose fate was left undetermined.
