- "Individual lifeforms are weak and devoid of value. Thus, through assimilation into the Megahex... they achieve purpose as a part of greater system."

Megahex (メガヘクス, Megahekkusu) is the main antagonist of Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle. Near the end of the second part of the movie, he absorbs Cyberoid ZZZ's body and becomes ZZZ Megahex (ZZZメガヘクス, Surī Zeddo Megahekkusu).
History[]
Megahex' spaceship in Movie War Full Throttle.
Megahex was originally part of an unknown alien race which encountered the Helheim invasion. Being chosen to be the Man of the Beginning of his race, Megahex assimilated with its entire planet along with its inhabitants into a singular, mechanical being, with the planet itself becoming known as Planet Megahex (惑星メガヘクス, Wakusei Megahekkusu).
Megahex appeared on Planet of Helheim one day and attacked Kouta, as well as kidnapping Mai. During their fight on the planet, Megahex learned of the planet Earth from reading Kouta's memories and created a portal to Zawame with Kouta transforming into Gaim Kiwami Arms to stop him. But Megahex succeeded in reaching the planet as Gaim destroyed him with a a Burai Kick, only for the Kamen Rider to be defeated and destroyed by a second Megahex who then took the Kiwami Lockseed. When Takatora Kureshima demanded an explanation from Megahex, the being revealed his intend to assimilate Earth and began assimilating a section of Zawame and any unfortunate humans caught in the process. When Mitsuzane Kureshima stood in the way, Megahex used Kouta's memories to create Mecha Kurokages and then Mecha Ryoma Sengoku to drive Mitsuzane off.
The following day, as Takatora battled Mecha Ryoma, Mitsuzane stormed Megahex's ship as Ryugen, fighting through Plain Roidmudes (Lost Number) before saving Mai. As he did, Megahex appeared behind Zangetsu, who was weary from his fight with Kamen Rider Duke Dragon Energy Arms, and smacked the White Armored Rider to the ground before incorporating the Kiwami Lockseed into his system. Now boosted by the seed of the Golden Fruit, Megahex attacked Zangetsu with cold savagery, even using artificial Helheim vines spawned from his body until he knocked Takatora out of his transformation, landing near Mecha Ryoma's remains, chiefly near his Genesis Driver. Despite the beatdown, Takatora refused to give up, and when Megahex tried to cut Takatora down, Mitsuzane threw to Takatora the Melon Energy Lockseed. Thinking quickly, Takatora grabbed the Genesis Driver and lifted it up so the Melon Energy Lockseed inserted and locked itself into place, then slammed it on, generating the Zangetsu Shin Genetic Ride Wear to protect Takatora.
Megahex about to go global
With a passionate speech, Takatora completed the transformation into Kamen Rider Zangetsu Shin, battering Megahex back with Ryugen's support despite being outmatched. As Takatora pulled a risky gambit to remove the Kiwami Lockseed from Megahex's body, the entity got furious of losing the item as he proceeded to obliterate the Kureshima brothers and Mai, but Kouta reconstituted himself while deflecting the attack. The three Kamen Riders proceeded to destroy Megahex, only to find more drones arriving as Megahex revealed that they had been fighting a few of a nigh-endless supply drone bodies which proceeded to scatter and commence total assimilation of planet Earth.[Kamen Rider Gaim: Advance to the Last Stage]
One of the Megahex drones landed near Shinnosuke and Kiriko upon notcing the deactivated husk of Cyberoid ZZZ's body after it was abandoned by Zoruku Tojo's consciousness. Megahex assimilated the Cyberoid and transformed into ZZZ Megahex, flying back to Zawame to distribute the upgrade to Planet Megahex. [Kamen Rider Drive: The Challenge from Lupin]. Once arriving to Zawame, creating an army of Plain Roidmudes (Lost Number) and Mecha Inves with Kamen Rider Drive arriving after him, Megahex created a replica of Kaito Kumon to deal with the interlopers. But the copy proved too much like the original to obey Megahex, forcing the entity to fight Gaim and Drive. Though they countered ZZZ Megahex, his ability to regenerate made him a difficult opponent for the Kamen Riders until they received their Type Fruits and Drive Arms forms to destroy him.
Megahex's core
The ZZZ Megahex data was transmitted to Planet Megahex as consequence, with Megahex creating several ZZZ Megahex drones with some combining into the Z Mega Bat to hold off Drive and Gaim when they used Tridoron after a Shift Fruits Tire Expansion to reach the planet's location, somewhere in between the Asteroid Belt and Jupiter. As they arrived near the core, the Z Mega Bat stood in front of them shooting missiles, and the walls closed in to attempt to crush Tridoron, prompting Drive to eject him and Gaim out of Tridoron, allowing them to perform a decisive Double Rider Kick to smash into Z Mega Bat towards the ground, followed closely by Tridoron crashing into it, allowing them to slam into the core, permanently destroying Megahex with all his creations shutting down.

The Cyberoid data is transmitted to Planet Megahex, producing more ZZZ Megahexes which combine into a giant-bat like form known as Z Mega Bat (Ｚメガバット, Zedo Mega Batto), similar to a Giant Bat Roidmude with a dragon-like head.[3]
Powers[]
- Heavy Acceleration: Since Megahex had assimilated Cyberoid into his makeup, he possesses the signature ability of the Roidmudes, which is to somehow slow down the movement of surrounding objects', including that of humans, with their unaffected consciousness aware of their impass during this time. One can be protected by the Slowdown effect by carrying Shift Cars or Signal Bikes on their person.

Planet Megahex
Planet Megahex (惑星メガヘクス, Wakusei Megahekkusu) is Megahex's true form, a mechanical-like planet where its core is located. It is formed upon Megahex's assimilation of its own planet along with the planet's inhabitants. This allows Megahex to indefinitely create multiple drone to act through. Planet Megahex is also able to summon a multitude of laser turrets to obstruct any incoming enemies.
However, the planet itself is also Megahex's primary weakness; as it contains Megahex's true core, destruction of the planet would result in Megahex's permanent destruction. The fact the planet's core is easily exposed makes it even more vulnerable.Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Megahex is voiced by Shin-ichiro Miki (三木 眞一郎, Miki Shin'ichirō), who also voiced the Genesis Driver Equipment in Kamen Rider Gaim and previously voiced the Imagin Sieg from Kamen Rider Den-O.
Its suit actor is Kazuya Okada (岡田 和也, Okada Kazuya).[4]
Concept Art[]
Megahex was designed by Niθ (ニシー, Nishī).
Notes[]
- Megahex appears to possess his own language, as seen at the beginning of the Gaim portion of Movie War Full Throttle.
- Since Megahex's true core is located in its mechanical planet itself, it can be said that Megahex is essentially his own planet.
