Rubanoid

Bakugan Battle Planet is the name of the first season of the upcoming Bakugan reboot. The name comes from a trademark filed by Spin Master on November 16, 2017.

The season follows the adventures of Dan Kouzo and his best friends, the first kids on Earth to bond with the mysterious alien creatures known as the Bakugan. The storyline will revolve around friendship, battling, and competition.

The animated series is slated to begin airing in North America in December 2018. The toy line will release in the first quarter of 2019 in North America and other select regions, with a worldwide release to follow in the second quarter of 2019. There will also be online content for the series.

Information

Crimson armor protects Rubanoid effectively from attacks. He shoots red energy waves from his mouth and attacks by shooting hard blades fast and mercilessly. His Battle Gear is Destrakon Gear. He, like other Gundalian Bakugan, has a great hatred of Drago, up until the final events of Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders.

Anime

Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders

It appeared in Revelation. It was used by Sid Arcale and was equipped with a Destrakon Gear. He can talk, which means that he's a real Bakugan.

He appeared again in Confrontation of fighting alongside Contestir against Linehalt and Drago. He and Sid won while Zenet and Contestir lost (Zenet sacrificed Contestir to take out Drago's JetKor).

He appeared again in Hostile Takeover fighting alongside Buz Hornix against Coredem and Akwimos. He and Sid lost, but they told the brawlers their secret, which was to stall time so that Ren could kick the brawlers out of Bakugan Interspace and not allow anyone from the outside of Bakugan Interspace to come in except the Gundalians and their brainwashed human army.

In The Element, he appeared to face Drago and lost when Drago evolved after merging with The Element, back in Gundalia after Emperor Barodius dismissed Sid, Rubanoid was furious saying that their loyalty and services demands respect, but was knocked out by Krakix and Kazarina said that she could use him in her experiments before transporting him. He was transported to her lab for experiments.

In Sid Returns, Sid, Lena, Jesse and Zenet were shown to not be dead but trapped in Kazarina's Lab, Sid and Rubanoid were the only ones to escape. He then battles along side Ren and Linehalt against Dan and Drago. He was then given to Ren before Sid was disposed of.

In Forgiveness, he was used by Ren to battle against Aranaut after Linehalt lost. He lost too, even though he used Destrakon Gear's Level 2 Class ability.

In the final events of Gundalian Invaders, Linus and him team up to help fight the Gundalians. When the brawlers arrive, he says, "A couple minutes earlier would've been helpful!"

At the end of Destiny Revealed, he decides to stay on Neathia as a Castle Knight along with Linus Claude.

Rubanoid's Victory Scream on Bakugan Dimensions

Game

It seems to be a mixture of Hawktor and Ravenoid in ball form. In Bakugan form, it looks like a dragon made of jewels. After pressing down its wings, Battle Gear can be mounted on its back like other Gundalian Invaders Bakugan. The Aquos version has 900 Gs or 620 Gs if translucent. The Darkus version has 790 Gs, 750 Gs in the BakuBoost and rarely with 850 and 920 Gs, the Haos version has 790 and 630 Gs and the Subterra version has 800 Gs.

It is in the BakuExo-Skin series due to his textureless skin. He was released in Wave 3.

In Japan, the Pyrus version in CS-009 has 540 Gs.

Trivia

Rubanoid is one of the two only no-Mechanical Bakugan illustrated with computer graphics. The other is Colossus Dragonoid.
Rubanoid is probably based off the precious gem for which he is named after, Ruby.
Rubanoid is the only Bakugan to appear as translucent in the anime.
The inside of its plastic is a crystalline, making it sparkle like a gem in the light.
Strangely, he and Neo Dragonoid have the same victory pose on Dimensions.
Like Phosphos, his name sounds similar to an element on the Periodic Table of Elements, Rubidium.
Equipped with Destrakon Gear, he, Exedra, and Phosphos are the only Bakugan with more than three heads.
His voice changed for some reason. When he was with Sid and Ren, his voice sounded deeper and harsh. Now that he's with Linus Claude however, his voice is now calmer but still deep.
Strangely, he and Viper Helios have the same attack action on Bakugan Dimensions.
Although he has wings, he flew only once in Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders episode 12 in the Anime.
Along with Aranaut, he is the only Bakugan that had three owners.
- Coincidentally, both of their first Brawler was deceased and the second one gave it to a Castle Night.
Since there was no translucent Pyrus version made in America, Pyrus Rubanoid ceases to look like a real ruby.
Rubanoid's ability Red Deeper is very similar to Titanium Dragonoid's Revolutional and Wonder Superior abilities, as all three use "booster shields".
