Rock Lords
Battlerock is one of the good Rock People. Gutsrock is made of granite and can transform into a slab of granite which can be launched at opponents. He stands 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 1.1 tons. His weapon of choice is his Strong Cutter. Like most Rock People he is probably immune to the effect of acid and magnetic fields which adversely affect most Machine Robo.

Fictional biography
Character and ability I have tremendous strength, but my heart is kind and a bright character. I love nature and animals. Strong cutter that cuts enemies while rotating at high speed, and a break voice of ultrasonic waves which any kind of shredded pieces is good at.
Animated series
A village of Rock People, who resembled Battlerock, Gutstock and Mecharock, lead by the elderly Java appear in episode 22, "Rockdon Versus Rockgilen".[1]
Battlerock-like, Gutsrock-like and Mecharock-like Rock People appear in episode 29, "Escape From the Underground - Pro Truck Racer Appears!". They aid Rom Stol's forces against magnetic mines, which are not attracted to their stone bodies. The Stone People aided in recovering Tough Trailer when he was trapped underground.[2]
Battlerock-like, Gutsrock-like and Mecharock-like Rock People defend the Battle Base construction site from the Gandora in episode 34, "Vikung-Fu Disappears in Space".[3]
Battlerock-like, Gutsrock-like and Mecharock-like Rock People were among the reinforcements Blue Jet brought in to help save Rubyman from the Gandora in episode 35, "The Secret of the Jewel People".[4]
In episode 36, "Cannon Fury - Save Amberman", Battlerock-like, Gutsrock-like and Mecharock-like Rock People welcomed Amberman into the Battle Base forces when he was invited by Rom Stol to join them.[5]

Note: Many of the Rock People in Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos look like Gutsrock. Since he is never mentioned by name is it uncertain which of the Rock People who resemble him in the series may be the actual Gutsrock.
