She embarks onto Zero's battle ship, 'the Hiryu' as a watcher. But, it is just a disguise. The true purpose of Hel-Matia is to investigate the movements on the planets where the humanoids inhabit. She is a secret agent sent by her sister, Hel-Motheria who fears humankind might be a great menace to their race, the Metanoids. "I am a shadow. I live and die in a shadow. All I do is for the Great Existence. Humankind is a tiny and fragile particle in the universe. I have only to wait until the time comes."

Battle Analyzer:
Sometimes it is called 'Batlyzer' too. This robot is an armed analyzer with many weapons all over the body. It transforms into a mini battleship and can jump a long distance in space by warp-drive. Nobody knows who created this robot. It re-activates itself in a dumpsite of broken robots. When it sees a ship, it asks "Is this the legendary battleship?" When it catches a girl in its sights, it presses her to marry it!?
