History

Kidnapped by Blood Stalk, Tatsuya Kishida was forcibly transformed into the Press Smash to lure out Sento Kiryu. Despite being returned to normal by Build NinninComic Form, Tatsuya was reverted to his Smash form by Ryuga Banjou in order to use him to find Faust's secret location. ^{[Dangerous Identity]} His Smash form's Hazard Level has been increased to cause his body to go haywire and about to be destroyed, until Build NinninComic Form saved him during his and Ryuga's raid on Faust's secret lab. ^{[Moonsault of Anger]}

Revealing himself as a Faust agent, Eita Kawai volunteered to be transformed into the Press Smash Hazard by Blood Stalk to hold off Ryuga Banjou. However, he was beaten by the power of Ryuga's Dragon Fullbottle before being stripped of his transformation by Blood Stalk's Steam Break and wiped of his memory. ^{[Technology of Destruction]}

An unidentified test subject was transformed into a second Press Smash Hazard before being sent alongside the Flying Smash Hazard to attack Touto on behalf of Hokuto. He was freed when he was defeated by Kamen Rider Build. ^{[The Weaponry Hero]}

A Press Clone Smash was one of the Clone Smash created by Nariaki Utsumi, based on the original while lacking a human host. Alongside the Stretch Clone Smash, it was summoned by Blood Stalk to fight Kamen Riders Build and Grease during the battle for the Pandora Box. They were ultimately destroyed by Ryuga Banjo when he used the Cross-Z Magma Knuckle to become Cross-Z Magma. ^{[Surging Magma!]}
