In this film, Alien Zarab has formed an alliance with fellow aliens: Alien Temperor
, Alien Guts
, and Alien Nackle
in order to kill Ultraman Mebius and release U-Killersaurus and Yapool
from the seaside of Kobe
. After Temperor was destroyed by Mebius, Zarab was sent to take care of "Phase 2" of the plan. After kidnapping a friend of Mirai (Ultraman Mebius's human form) as well as both poisoning and paralyzing Mirai, Zarab transformed into "Imitation Mebius" and attacked the city of Kobe. Luckily, Mirai transforms into the real Ultraman Mebius (to avoid confusion which Mebius Mirai is) again and after a long battle, manages to destroy Alien Zarab. However, Zarab managed to complete phase 2 before dying and left the real Mebius weak enough for Guts and Nackle to attack the real Mebius.
.
In this series, Alien Zarab is portrayed as a moronic, and comedic character who steals useless Battle Nizers for unexplained reasons. He does however manage to kidnap Haruna (the female member of the ZAP SPACY crew) and disguises himself as her to masquerade as her to the rest of the ZAP SPACY crew members, but fails miserably and comically when he cannot cope with the simple life of humanity, mistaking insignificant terms for danger. However the real Haruna returns and Zarab is exposed as the fake. However before the ZAP SPACY can take action, Alien Zarab transforms into Imitation Ultraman and becomes more of a threat to the ZAP SPACY crew. However, after a short and comedic battle against Rei's Gomora
and a vengeful Haruna, Alien Zarab's true form is revealed. Hurting and humiliated, Alien Zarab flees from Planet Hammer never to bother anyone ever again.
At one memorable moment during the fight, Imitation Ultraman tries to perform a Specium Ray on a frightened Gomora only to fail miserably and anger's him because he was slightly embarrassed.
.
In the film, Alien Zarab (as Imitation Ultraman) attacks two guard ultras and frees Ultraman Belial from his prison. After revealing his true identity, Alien Zarab gives Belial the Giga Battle Nizer in hopes of the two forming an alliance. Instead, Belial betrays and kills Zarab and heads to M78 to attack the other Ultramen.
It's unknown if this Alien Zarab is the same one that appear in Ultra Galaxy NEO
or if this one is a different one of its kind.

History
In order to take over the planet, The Alien Zarab tried to gain Earth's trust by returning a damaged spaceship and promised to get rid of a deadly poison mist that was plaguing the city. After Hayata found out about Zarab's plans, Zarab unleashed a Fake Ultraman upon Japan. Fake Ultraman was destroying the entire city and the Science Patrol arrived to attack. In the midst of his attack, Hayata transformed into the real Ultraman. As the fake Ultraman tried to fly away, Ultraman blasted it with the Specium Ray, changing it back into Zarab. Zarab continued the fight and began to fire missiles from his fingers in flight. The two collided and began to fall to Earth. As Ultraman's timer began to flash, he used the specium ray on the invader, destroying him.Alien Zarab last "appearance" was when Alien Mephilas

The Imitation Ultraman
Imitation Ultraman was Alien Zarab's disguise that he used to trick the Earth into believing that Ultraman was the villain after he kidnapped Hayata. During his first time as the fake Ultraman, he attacked a city, but he quickly fled the scene and (as Zarab) tried to convince the leaders of Japan that Ultraman was the evil alien. Later he transformed back into Imitation Ultraman again to attack another city as well as the military. After endangering Hoshino (a boy whom had befriended and joined the Science Patrol,) the REAL Ultraman arrived, rescuing Hoshino and battling his doppelgänger in a short but intense brawl. As Imitation Ultraman tried to escape the real Ultraman hit him with the Specium Ray, revealing the true villain, Alien Zarab.History
