In "Double Finked", Magnus was working on the Magnus' Automatic Hay Baler in front of his house, when Axel arrived. The boy handed a letter to his uncle that asked Magnus to take care of him. Later, Axel brought a Roaming Ramblefang egg to Magnus' house, which quickly hatched. The baby started creating havoc inside the workshop of the house, before Axel started training him with fish. Later, after being saved by the Rescue Riders, Axel was dropped in front of Magnus' house.
In "Divewings", Magnus and Axel started working on the Mechano-Dragon in the workshop of the house. In order to not waste time, Magnus asked Axel to dispose of all the scrap metal in the backyard. After finishing the machine, Magnus kept it outside the house, covered by a large piece of leather.
In "Mecha-Menace", Magnus and Axel finished construction on the Mechano-Dragon just outside the house. Axel took the machine for a test ride before showing it to the villagers.
