The robots are produced at the factory, as a "top-secret, extremely advanced new design". They come in two models, a larger grey one and a smaller white one. They are around 40 meters tall, and weigh 30,000 tons (or around 200 feet tall and 60,000 tons in the {{US}} version of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''). The final phase of assembly sees the robot's head being screwed onto the body by a large arm at high speed. This operation is extremely precise, and if done wrong, the robot has to be scrapped. The machine operators require nerves of steel to do their job, leading to a tense working environment. To help them with this task, the factory plays soothing Arabian-style music. When each robot is completed, it says a code word ({{Nihongo|"Oh yeah!"|「ヤッタ！」|"Yatta!"}} for the grey ones, {{Nihongo|"Let's go!"|「ヨッシャ！」|"Yossha!"}} for the white ones) to signal that it is operational and the heart symbol on its chest glows in appreciation. The sight of a completed robot encourages the machine operators to maintain quality work. This, along with the music, lightens the mood at the factory. | The robots are produced at the factory, as a "top-secret, extremely advanced new design".

All of this information was collected by a {{Nihongo|Spy|スパイ|Supai}}, who relays it to their {{Nihongo|Leader|リーダー|Rīdā}} at a secret hideout for an enemy factory. They realize production is high thanks to the music, which for them is a problem, and they send the spy back to collect further information. The spy expresses concern about being discovered in the factory full of 200-foot robots and not being extracted in time<ref>[[ | All of this information was collected by a {{Nihongo|Spy|スパイ|Supai}}, who relays it to their {{Nihongo|Leader|リーダー|Rīdā}} at a secret hideout for an enemy factory.
