Rento Makina

Rento Makina (真紀那 レント) is Kamen Rider Kikai (仮面ライダーキカイ), a rider from the year 2121 that appears in Kamen Rider Zi-O.

Origin
The true origin of Rento was a robot toy from Sougo Tokiwa's childhood, who he considered as his sole "companion" after being secluded from other children who ridiculed his dream as a king.

Year 2121
As a result of Sougo's growing power as Oma Zi-O, the year 2121 came into existence with Rento being born from Sougo's robot toy. Rento started as a fellow Humanoise who managed to conquer Earth and suppressing the humans but switched sides when befriending Maruko and a group of children. Since then, Rento defended the humans and use his recharging period to entertain his friends.

When Sougo receives his premonition dreams, he was teleported to the future as Rento protects him and joins with the children. During his charging attempt, the satellite he recharged from was hacked and reverted Rento/Kikai into his primary Humanoise directive. After briefly attacking Sougo, Kikai ambushed his own group at a human refugee camp alongside other Humanoise until Zi-O II disabled him with Twice Time Break. While sleeping during his make-up test, Sougo used the password from Maruko (Will Be the BFF) to resurrect Rento back into his original programming.

"Thank you Sougo. I knew that you really are my BFF."

- Rento expressing his gratitude.

Once restored, Rento thanked him, firming his believe that Sougo is his friend as he and the children waved goodbye to Sougo, who reawakened long enough to pass his test.

Powers and Abilities

 * Robot Physiology: As Rento is a fellow Humanoise, he shares the same ability as they are.
 * Temporal Protection: Considering that Rento and Another Kikai are simultaneously created by Sougo's subconscious, both beings can exist at the same time.

Weakness

 * Robot Physiology: Unfortunately being a Humanoise, Rento is also subjected to the same weakness as they are.
 * Energy Requirement: Rento needs solar energy from satellite in order to move, transform, and many other things. If his energy is low, he can't move his body properly.
 * Reprogramming: Through the same satellite he recharged from, Rento can also be reprogrammed should the satellite be hacked, reverting him into his prime Humanoise directive. However, his programming could be undone by typing a code ("Will Be The BFF") from the Kikai Metal Suit Jacket, which will shows a holographic keyboard image.

Rento transforms into Kamen Rider Kikai (仮面ライダーキカイ) by inserting the Spannerder and Screwder together at the center of the Kikai Driver.

Kamen Rider Kikai's suit consists of the following parts:


 * Kikai Head Cab (キカイヘッドキャブ) - the head.
 * Metal Head Shield (メタルヘッドシールド) - the head's top armor. It is made of Cold Metallium (コールドメタリウム) that serves as the in-built protection to the user's head.
 * Caution Camera (コーションカメラ) - Kikai's visor. Using a heavy toughness lens that is resistant to shock and dirt, it is possible to secure visibility under harsh environments. It also has a caution flash and a built-in siren, and has a role to emit a warning to surroundings with sound and light.
 * Crusher Port (クラッシャーポート) - The mouthplate that serves as Kikai's filling port. Supplies lubricants and supplies it to each part of the machine.
 * Spanney Horn (スパニーホーン) - The cross spanner-like faceplate that serves as Kikai's communication device. It enables communication with all kinds of equipment including artificial satellite. It is made with the highly durable Cold Metal Tool Steel (コールドメタル工具鋼) that make up Kikai's armor and weapons.
 * EMG Crash Bolt (EMGクラッシュボルト) - The two 'bolts' at the bottom the Spanney Horns. They are emergency stopping devices. If Kamen Rider Kikai's equipment becomes unstable for some reason, it has the role of physically stopping the equipment.
 * Metal Shield Jacket (メタルシールドジャケット) - The chest armor. A built-in master cylinder for pumping energy into the fuselage distributes the energy to the fuselage in accordance with the control program. Moreover, it is easily maintainable thanks to a virtual console for external input and the numerous Guide Paint (ガイドペイント) markings, allowing one person to fix about 87% of damage and malfunction.
 * Metal Shield Shoulder (メタルシールドショルダー) - the shoulders. It follows the motion of the crane arm and has the role of following the fragile part of the movable part. It is a remodeled type of shoulder guard for the Humanoise, exterior panels are replaced with armor plates made of Cold Metallium and attached to the truss frame. This resulted in a structure similar to those found in space armors.
 * Inner Crane Arm (インナークレーンアーム) - The upper arms. It is derived from the power assist unit for Humanoises. The arm is strengthened with 6 energy pressure type cylinders, and demonstrates the power to lift a maximum of 360 tons.
 * Power Arm Winder (パワーアームワインダー) - The forearm armor. It strongly supports the Ripper Gloves by delicately manipulating ten super steel wires with a built-in winch mechanism. It is a retrofitted Humanoise forearm of the winch option, exterior panels are replaced with armor plates made of "Cold Metallium" and attached to the truss frame.
 * Ripper Glove (パワーアームワインダー) - The hands. The grip force of the Humanoise is increased 18 times by interlocking with the Power Arm Winder. The tip is coated with a super steel metal coating, and can crush rocks and concrete lumps by thrusting. Control over the Ripper Glove is very precise, allowing Kikai to do delicate tasks such as grabbing raw eggs or playing a guitar without fear of breakage.
 * KK Madproof (KKマッドプルーフ) - The bodysuit. It is made of a special protective sheet. It blocks dust and wind from entering and affecting any internal machinery, thereby keeping the condition of the machines intact. It has an antifouling finish.
 * Inner Lift Leg (インナーリフトレッグ) - The legs. It is diverted from the leg power assist unit for Humanoises, and strengthens thigh with ten energy pressure type cylinders. This mechanism can also be used as a damper utilizing pressure, absorbing the impact of landing such as jumping. Also, an energy condenser is built in the shin, and by rapidly charging the energy, it is possible to dramatically increase the destructive power of the kick.
 * Knee Jacky (ニージャッキ) - The knee joints. It is derived from a power assist unit for joint part for the Humanoise. It incorporates an energy pressure type torque converter and demonstrates a maximum torque of 242 kgf/m (kilogram force per minute), resulting in knees that can rotate at high speed.
 * High Compression Muscle (ハイコンプレッションマッスル) - The leg and shin armors. It uses divergent special armor from the Humanoise army. Thanks to the inbuilt Muscle Pipeline (マッスルパイプライン), leg power such as striking power and agility is greatly enhanced.
 * Heavy Run Marauder (ヘビーランマローダー) - The feet. It is a reinforced type of the hoisting device for the Humanoise and has a mechanism that uses the explosive power of the built - in ultra - small engine to splash the body with reaction force. Because it is raising the explosive power to the limit as a battle purpose, it exchanges the exterior to what is made of Cold Metallium.

By touching the Destructo Reactor grips of the Kikai Driver, Kamen Rider Kikai can initiate one of three attacks:
 * Kikai Will Destroy (キカイデハカイダー) - Kikai generates electrified ice energy from his belt and channels it through his right foot as he executes a spin kick.
 * Ultimetal Finish (アルティメタルフィニッシュ) - Kikai channels his electrified ice energy through his right arm and executes a punch powerful enough to destroy the object.
 * Fullmetal The End (フルメタル・ジ・エンド) - Kikai generates a large amount of electrified ice energy throughout his upper body and jumps high, and the energy transfers to his right foot and solidifies into a large icicle that penetrates the target.
