History

Ultraman

It was converted into a cyborg monster on the ancient Earth, but the aliens withdrew as the Earth entered the ice age, and its bioweapon, Tangilar was trapped in the ice. However, because a nuclear power plant was built in Antarctica, where it was sleeping, it was revived in response to the radioactivity of nuclear waste. They aim for nuclear power plants in search of more radioactive materials, but if the nuclear power plants are destroyed, the ice in Antarctica will melt and the world will be in danger of being submerged.

Immediately, the Science Patrol attacked the monster, but as usual, it was just as irritating.

Ultraman appeared to intercept Tangilar, but all of his weapon were repelled by the cyborg giant monster. At his all wits ended, Tangilar bit Ultraman's leg, Ultraman concentrated all his energy to throw the monster into the sea, temporarily repelled it.

A strategy meeting was held before Tangilar came out of the sea, and the special corps made inferences about its identity. In addition, a crevasse operation was planned to submerge the Tangilar in the ice by land mines, and a cross-shaped land mine field was created on the ice field.

However, Tangilar appeared and found the minefield with his eye radar, destroyed the detonation circuit with heat rays. Hayata manually operated the minefield and dropped the Tangilar on the crevasse, prepared to die, but the tangiller escaped from the crevasse with his flight ability.

The nuclear power plant was about to be crushed by Tangilar when Ultraman appeared again from beneath the crevasse of ice! However, all of Ultraman's weapons did not work for the cyborg monster. Tangilar unilaterally beat Ultraman with its tail. Ultraman managed to escape, and cut the iceberg with Ultra Slash to make a huge lens and fired a focused Spacium Beam. Finally Ultraman defeated Tangilar by firing a giant Ultra Slash with full energy.

Trivia

• Like Yamaton, Tangilar, for some reason, gained enough attention to get a Marusan figure of him.
• Tangilar isn't the first time Tsuburaya productions tried to make a sauropod and certainly not the last.
• Tangilar was meant to be in the original Ultraman show, but due to budget and time restraints, was dropped. His concept art shows little difference from his original manga design.
