Reception
Animated series
Devilrock Clay first appeared in episode #20, "The Man From Gyandlar". He and his partner Geigerrock Gevlar were sent by Gadess to destroy the Rock People ruins near Korora so they could uncover an energy source. The local Rock People fought back by attacking them with bombs. The bombs forced him to seek shelter in a cave where he was attacked by giant robot eating plants. He was discovered by Leina Stol, who was also trapped in the cave. Clay cut off his own leg to help her escape using it's jet booster, and they she returned the favor by getting her brother and friends to rescue him. After being repaired by Ambulance Robo, Clay escaped before the local Rock People revealed that he was with the Gyandlar.[1]

Although Rom and his companions were temporarily subdued by Lafu, once they were freed Rod Drill tackled Doublerock and threw him into his two fellow rock Rock People. Blue Jet slashed the three evil Rock People with his sword. Once they three realized the people of the city were free and fighting back, they retreated.[2] Note: Two Doublerocks and Devilrock are briefly seen from the back supervising the workers in Gurian City.
