Boriates (Japanese version Goriates (ゴリアテス, Goriatesu^?)) was a samurai-like Mechanical Bakugan used by Volt Luster after the loss of his previous Bakugan Brontes. It could combine with Dynamo to temporarily form Battle Arm Boriates.

Information

Description

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). Its other weapons included a heavy double-sided axe on its opposing limb, a hidden firearm on its back, and an energy blade. Boriates possessed the unique Custom Battle Ability, an enhancement that granted it near invisibility. Through this ability, Boriates could effortlessly overwhelm its competition. Even after the Battle Boriates didn't return to ball form.

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 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.
