McCrane came online as part of the original Build Team. After being installed with a Super-AI, he was first seen assisting in a raid on a laboratory carrying out illegal experiments, but the place was empty, set aside for a giant dinosaur-like creature. During the military's attempt to dispose of the creature, it awoke from its sleep and swallowed one of the military personnel. Yuuta Tomonaga decided to enter the monster and try to rescue him, but he accidentally broke his signal transmitter, making everyone aside from McCrane and Deckerd to think that he is already digested. The 2 Brave robots tried to persuade the military for 10 more minutes to rescue the 2 humans inside the creature, in which they finally succeeded by submerging the creature underwater, weakening its skin and allowing for personnel extraction. McCrane then aided in defeating the monster afterwards.
