The three girls have no motivation at all. Then a companion they hired as a part-time worker to solicit customers arrives.
The Galada K7 girl is characterized by her long twin tails, while the Dubras M2 girl can only speak through conversations between the two stuffed animals she is wearing on her hands.

■ Main Characters

●Team Z&G

• Z-chan (Mazinger Z)
  The leader of Robot Girls Team Z. She transforms into combat mode using a piler-type transformation item. She's a hot-blooded type who rushes ahead without thinking too deeply about things, but because her partners Gre-chan and Glenda-san are too eccentric, she has no choice but to take on the straight man role. She's an old-fashioned big sister type who is loyal and compassionate. For some reason, she's popular with the same sex.
• Gre-chan (Great Mazinger)
  The youngest member of Team Z. Transforms using a brain condor-type item. A taciturn, sarcastic person with a critical eye on the world. He is also rude to older people. He is the smartest member of Team Z, but is lazy and tends to stay holed up in his room most of the time. His hobby is online games. He has a weakness for sweets. His fighting ability is quite high, but his only weak point is his back. When attacked, he becomes weak at the knees.
• Glenda (Grendizer)
  The oldest sister of Team Z. She transforms using a spacer-type item. She has a calm demeanor and uses polite language, but she is rumored to be a natural queen who has many servants under her control. At first glance she seems calming, but there is a dark side to her behavior. She is said to be an international student, but it is completely unknown where she is from. She flies using a UFO-type spacer like surfing. However, her hobby is horseback riding.
• Getchan (Getter Robo)
  A getter girl. Her nickname is Getchan, but she gets angry when she is called that. She was raised as a rich girl and is a typical tsundere girl. She is more spoiled than most, but not honest. She has great fighting ability, but is also fickle, and will not be of much help unless you praise her to the max. She is easily hurt and gets teary-eyed, but will become extremely angry if someone points this out to her. She has butlers who always follow her.
• Jeeg-san (Steel Jeeg)
  A daughter of Steel Jeeg. She is the oldest of the Robot Girls, but she is a complicated otaku. She is the leader of the Wall Circle at Comiket. She is beautiful, but very unfortunate. She is usually quiet, but when she is with her friends or at an event, she gets excited and talks a lot. She wants to say the coolest lines she thinks she can say at every opportunity. For example, "You made me angry" or "Is that... my secret technique, the Flashing Hado Gouken?" She is weak in adversity and serious romantic situations. (She runs away saying "Stop it, stop it, stop it.") She is happiest when she is telling her imaginary, "highly exaggerated" tales of her past heroism.

●Mechanical Beast Girl 1

• A woman of a certain age who serves Dr. Hell, Baron Ashura. Her face and outfit are half female and half male, and she speaks in both a male and female voice, but physically she is a completely normal woman. She leads the mechanical beast girls and works to conquer the world, but because she is naturally timid and kind, she is always made to cry by the violent robot girls. She also acts as a mother figure, comforting the mechanical beast girls when they are defeated.
• Garada K7
  A mechanical beast girl created by Dr. Hell. She is an honest and energetic girl, but she is also impatient and often fails because she acts without thinking about the consequences. She is weak when hit, but she has a refreshing personality and recovers quickly. She fights by using the two huge scythes attached to the back of her head like boomerangs. It is said that if she tries a little harder, she can shoot missiles from her eyes, but no one has seen it.
• Doublas M2
  A mechanical beast girl created by Dr. Hell. She is extremely shy and usually communicates through puppets attached to her hands. When her puppets are taken away, she becomes anxious and cries, begging for them back. She is also weak when hit, and after being beaten by the Robot Girls, she is unable to recover for a while. She attacks by shooting beams from her puppets, and can also hug her opponents and release electric shocks.
• Glomazen R9
  A mechanical beast girl who speaks in Kansai dialect. She's a bit of a joker, and she puts everything she's got into before anything else. She agrees to things without really listening to them, and usually ends up failing. In addition to ion beams, she can apparently shoot small missiles from her fingers and fire sharp cutter punches, but because she's lived her life relying solely on her enthusiasm, she's forgotten about these things herself.

●Machine Beast Girl 2

• Gaia Q5
  A super serious and intelligent mechanical beast girl. She explains her super magnetic powers using technical terms, but it's too difficult for anyone to understand. In fact, she has a very negative personality, and in order to overcome her complexes, she studied and studied and studied, which is how she became the intellectual character she is today. She has surprisingly great strength.
• Kingdan X10
  A beautiful mechanical beast girl. She's extremely shy and a crybaby. She's a girl you just want to protect, but she knows how cute she is and seems to take advantage of that. If you approach her with fantasies, you might find yourself digging into some unexpected landmines.
• Glossom X2
  A foul-mouthed and short-tempered mechanical beast girl. She attacks ferociously while insulting people in a girly way. She is a great swimmer and can fight underwater without losing to anyone. She likes to tear her opponents' clothes with the scissors on her head, so she seems to be sadistic, but she is no match for Glenda. Her favorite food is tuna mayonnaise rice balls.
• Posses O2
  A quirky mechanical beast girl. She has a habit of saying "Kron" at the end of her sentences. She hides her face and arms and legs in a seahorse-like suit, and drifts across the ocean, sometimes deep into it, waiting to be fished out and put into a fight. With her face and arms and legs hidden, small fish can peck at her as much as they want. She seems to be a sensible person, but because of her appearance, no one has ever taken her seriously.

●Machine Beast Girl 3

• Balanga M2
  A naughty, masochistic mechanical beast girl. Her underwater form, like a sea urchin, is narrow and you can't see in front of you, so it's not very useful. She seems to like the dark and stuffy conditions, mainly for play. She emphasizes her breasts, touches them in a lewd way, and her existence itself is bad for education. She's so masochistic that she's happy even when you defeat her, so in some ways she may be quite a formidable opponent.
• Minerva X
  A mysterious and devilish beautiful girl. One day, she suddenly appears in front of Z-chan and starts to stalk her with affection, calling her "big sister." She says that it's because her love partner circuit is on the verge of overheating, but the truth is unknown. Her true nature is evil, and she especially hates Gre-chan. On top of that, she is hiding a shocking secret.
• Line X1 (Lorelei Yoko)
  A girl who is an idol on the brink of collapse. She used to be a central member of the legendary idol group Line X, but she was no longer able to get work in the city and is now working hard on her business in the countryside. She has singing skills that surpass those of the ○yans, and her songs have the power of a sonic weapon. She has very large breasts and a strong accent.
• Belgas V5
  A super flashy enka mechanical beast girl. She wears a costume that looks very difficult to put on and sings enka songs while riding on a Mega Belgas that resembles her. Her song is a kind of ultrasonic wave, and those who hear it feel good in many ways. Even Baron Ashura does not know what she really looks like under her thick makeup.
