Hammer Canth

The Hammer Canth appeared in 1984 TV series called Choudenshi Bioman. The Hammer Canth (ハンマーカンス Hanmākansu) is a Mecha-Gigan of Neo Empire Gear, assisting Mason and Aquaiger.

The Hammer Canth was used within a special factory set up by Mason to create balloons that blow into the air and attack buildings at random. When Bioman investigates, it leads to a scenario where Shingo is accused of murdering a boy's father when in reality it was a Mecha-Human disguised as his father, meant to lower his guard. After he gets over this and destroys the factory, the Hammer Canth goes into battle on its own. Bioman attacks the head where the ball the Mecha-Gigan uses is attached to reduce its power before using Super Maser's Chainsaw Cutter to destroy it.
