Magmatron learned the existence of Sandron and its threat, so he ordered Dead End and Sling to retreat. After Big Convoy arrived Luxor and joined the Maximal rookies to retrieved the Angolmois capsule, the Sandron formed into quicksand and consumed Longrack. Big Convoy jumped into the quicksand and saved Longrack, escaping by firing the Big Cannon to create counterforce.
After arriving an abandoned town, the Sandron inside Longrack began to attack his nerve system and the transform circuit, causing him feel hot and thirsty. Soon, Big Convoy started to feel his body was under attack, too. After analyzing Longrack's body data, NAVI told the Maximals that they were dealing with the Sandron, which was extremely dangerous.
Shortly after, the Sandron impersonate the Maximals, starting from Stampy, whose data was caught by the creature via direct contact when he kicked the Sandron. The Sandron tried to steal the Angolmois capsule. The Maximals began to fight the Sandron and were surrounded by the Sandron impostors after a while. Fortunately, NAVI arrived with the recently-fixed Gung Ho in time, blowing all the Sandron impostors apart. The Sandron later formed a legion of fake Big Convoy, trying to firing at the Gung Ho, but Big Convoy destroyed them immediately with Big Cannon by swinging himself rapidly. The Sandron later formed a gigantic upper torso of Big Convoy and fired at the Gung Ho. Break managed to rise the ship's altitude in time to avoid the attack. The giant Big Convoy crumbled shortly after because the Angolmois capsule had left the planet surface in a certain distance. NAVI said the Sandron lost the power because the Angolmois capsule was away from them.100000000000000000 Grains of Sandron!!
Notes
- The kanji for the Sandron is "砂粒生命體" (Sunatubu Seimeitai), literally "Sand grain life form".
- The size of a Sandron is less than 1 cubic millimetre.
- It is unclear whether the Angolmois energy temporarily evolved the sand into Sandron, or giving the Sandron the ability to impersonating other objects.
- It is unknown why the giant Big Convoy impersonation is colorless.
