===Description===
The design of Boriates draws significantly from that of a samurai (likely to complement [[Volt Luster|its brawler's]] own mindset), most prominently its face, which features the iconic open mouth and horns. Its equipment is a mixture of many different weapons and tools that are at the immediate disposal of Boriates. Its most recognized weapon is the '''Prometheus Cannon''', a double-barrel cannon on its wrist that can be enhanced by '''Buster Mega Barrel''' (sprouts two more barrels for added firepower) or '''Olympus Cannon''' (splits the barrels apart for enhanced range and power). Its other weapons included a heavy double-sided axe on its opposing limb, a hidden firearm on its back, and an energy blade that is included with most Mechanical Bakugan. Though fairly average on its own, Boriates attained a higher status through its '''Custom Battle Ability''', an enhancement that makes it virtually invincible and automatically intercepts all opponent abilities just as they are played. Through this ability, Boriates can effortlessly overwhelm its competition. Even after the Battle Boriates doesn't return to ball form.

Boriates appears physically in ''[[Brontes' Betrayal]]'', fittingly under the usage of Volt for the first time on-screen. Its battle was with [[Gus Grav]], using a newly evolved [[Alto Brontes]], who had been 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 and instead resorted to most of its lesser abilities. 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 faces [[Master Ingram|Ingram]] and, later in a second round, [[Saint Nemus|Nemus]]. Despite being severely outnumbered (Boriates only had [[Dynamo]] and later [[Hexstar]] as supports; Nemus and Ingram had their [[Hylash|respective]] [[Piercian|Bakugan Traps]] as well as [[Shadow Wing]]) Boriates held its own in a close first round and won with less than a 100 G advantage over Ingram and Hylash. After an attempt to use the same strategy again, Baron and Nemus join the battle and turn the odds back into their favor, successfully pulling out a victory in the second round. The final round sees the debut of [[Hexstar]], whom Boriates rides in a final clash with Ingram and Nemus. This results in their defeat and failure to acquire the Ventus Attribute Energy.

The design of Boriates drew significantly from that of a samurai (likely to complement its brawler's own mindset); its face featured the iconic open mouth and horns. Its equipment consisted of many different weapons and tools. Its most recognized weapon was the Prometheus Cannon, a double-barrel cannon on its wrist that could be enhanced by Buster Mega Barrel (sprouted two more barrels) or Olympus Cannon (splits the barrels apart).

Anime

Bakugan: New Vestroia

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 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 Ingram and, later, 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 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 is left undetermined.
