{{Nihongo|'''Macubass'''|マキュバス|Makyubasu}} is a jet-like [[Mechanical Bakugan]] used by [[Mylene Farrow]] after her disposal of her previous Bakugan [[Elico]]. Most well known for its '''ABSIDS''' abilities, Macubass was among the most formidable Mechanical Bakugan before its untimely destruction at the hands of [[Magma Wilda|Wilda]].
==Information==
===Description===
One of the few Aquos Mechanical Bakugan, Macubass sports a jet-like frame equipped with a gauntlet of available accessories. While primarily focused on underwater combat, Macubass is capable of flying, apparently with little to no limitations. Macubass can also camouflage itself to an environment, most significantly underwater surroundings to catch adversaries off guard. Its feet contain rocket thrusters that propel it into the air and its arms house energy blades to ward off close-quarter combatants. Macubass's hands can convert into rapid-fire revolvers as well as water spouts to unleash high-pressure blasts. Despite these effective side weapons, Macubass is most reliant on its '''ABSIDS''' ('''A'''utomatic '''B'''rain '''S'''can '''I'''mage '''D'''irection '''S'''ystem) or '''SABDIS '''in the Japanese version ('''S'''canning '''A'''utomatic '''B'''rain '''D'''irect '''I'''mage '''S'''ystem), a program that allows its brawler to relay mental commands to an array of attack pods that detach from Macubass's wings, whether it be to swarm a single opponent or unleash a deadly combined attack. As such, Macubass's most powerful abilities are '''ABSIDS''' and '''ABSIDS TR 2'''.
==Anime==
===[[Bakugan: New Vestroia]]===
Macubass is debuted in ''[[Saved By the Siren]]'', wherein Mylene uses it in an ill-fated attempt to secure [[Knight Percival]]'s Attribute Energy. After Macubass loses in a brief first round, Mylene unveils its '''ABSIDS''' ability and regains control over the battle by winning the second round. Quickly employing exactly the same strategy, Macubass nearly wins the brawl, only to be interrupted by the appearance of [[Klaus von Hertzon|Klaus]] and [[Sirenoid]], who backs up Percival. Though holding its own for a while longer, Macubass is trounced by a powerful attack from Percival.
In ''[[Earth Invaders]]'', Macubass is used a second time, this time whilst tagging with [[Aluze]] against [[Magma Wilda]] and [[Blade Tigrerra]]. Despite minimal back-up from Aluze, Macubass battles alone for the majority of the brawl and more than holds its own before setting up its opponents to a precision strike from an airborne Aluze. After Aluze is quickly eliminated in the second round, Macubass takes command of the brawl by overwhelming its opponents with a plethora of attacks that nearly drown the both of them. After Tigrerra is eliminated while in attempting to save Wilda, Macubass unleashes its '''ABSIDS''' again to ultimately crush its remaining quarry and take his Subterra Attribute Energy.
In ''[[Ambush]]'', Macubass tags with [[Boriates]] while aiming to take the Ventus Attribute Energy in a battle with [[Master Ingram]] and [[Saint Nemus]]. Due to the usage of the Vexos Trap Field, which continuously restores the G-Power of all Mechanical Bakugan, the brawl is brief and both opponents are defeated, resulting in the Vexos's acquisition of the Ventus Attribute Energy.
In ''[[Mylene's Meltdown]]'', Spectra and Mira trap Mylene and Shadow inside [[Bakugan Interspace]] and initiate a brawl, resulting in a second bout between Macubass and Magma Wilda. Despite a distinct environmental advantage from the '''Aquos Reactor''' Gate Card, Macubass and Wilda are evenly matched before Wilda uses his most powerful abilities to utterly burn and crush Macubass, leaving only its legs intact from a finishing blow.

==Trivia==
*Macubass is among the few Mechanical Bakugan who had no exposed design flaws and as such had no exploitable weaknesses.
* The design of Macubass' Bakugan form is strikingly similar to [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/AMX-004_Qubeley Qubeley] and [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/AMX-004_Qubeley_Mk-II Qubeley MK II] series, a mobile suit in ''Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ'' and the[http://VF-1 VF-1 Valkyrie GERWALK mode] in Robotech.
** Even its '''ABSIDS''' ability is similar to the Funnel attack of the Qubeley and the visor that Mylene use for using '''ABSIDS''' is very similar with Ple Two "Psycommu Controller Headset" for controlling Qubeley MK II Funnel. Both of them able to control the bits via brainwaves.
* The '''ABSIDS TR 2''' ability resembles [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/GN-010_Gundam_Zabanya Gundam Zabanya] GN Holster Bit's attack from ''Mobile Suit Gundam 00''
* Macubass body also slightly looks like [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/GNMA-0001V_Regnant GNMA-001V Regnant] in MS-Mode from ''Mobile Suit Gundam 00''
*[[Blasterate]]'s pods follow an attack pattern identical to that of Macubass's '''ABSIDS''' abilities.
