Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040
Mackey is still technology whiz, but acts as an apprentice to Nigel Kirkland.
In contrast to the original series, unfortunate circumstances conspire to make him seem to be a pervert to Nene. (In one instance, he accidentally barged in on the
Knight Sabers ' dressing room.) Mackey is inadvertently shy and is quite passionate for machines. He loves to fix, make, and repair them and his love for fixing things attracts the attention of the stone facedNigel Kirkland . Mackey cares deeply for his sister Sylia and at times he seems like the only thing that keeps Sylia from going over the edge. Later in the series it is revealed Mackey is in fact a boomer, created by using a chip inside Sylia's brain from Sylia's father, and his presence helps awaken the super boomer Galatea. Mackey was the first prototype Boomer but was classified a "failure" because he was too human like. Mackey eats, sleeps, and drinks like a normal human so he shows signs of organic sustenance. Mackey's connection to Galatea however gives her the ability to manipulate him. Towards the climax of 2040, Mackey is mentally "wiped clean" of his memories regarded by Galatea as "false data". This includes his feelings for Nene. In both versions, Mackey has a love interest for Knight SaberNene Romanova . Her love for him grows even through his manipulation from Galatea, and his sacrifice of his remaining memories enables the Knight sabers the chance to enter Galatea's tower to fight her. Mackey's memories are restored at the end of the series once Galatea is destroyed over Earth and rains down across the planet.
