A photocopier being infected to create him.
Clonetron is a photocopier/camera-themed Robotron in Power Rangers Beast Morphers. He serves as the primary antagonist of the episode Real Steel.
History
He was created when Blaze infected a copying machine. He then scanned the Copier Man and assumed his form. He and Blaze then attacked a park and waited for the Rangers to show up. While Blaze distracted the Rangers, Clonetron assumed his regular form and secretly scanned Nate. Ravi suddenly noticed Clonetron and a fight ensued, during which Clonetron grappled with Nate. Steel tried to shoot Clonetron, but a Tronic bumped into him and he missed, nearly hitting Nate instead. Clonetron then ran off.
Later, Clonetron and Blaze arrived outside Grid Battleforce Headquarters, and Clonetron assumed Nate's form. Blaze ordered Clonetron to sabotage the Zord computer inside Grid Battleforce. Disguised as Nate, Clonetron entered the building unchallenged. While looking for the Zord computer, he ran into Steel, who mistook him for the real Nate. When Steel apologised for his and Nate's earlier argument, Clonetron pretended to understand what Steel was talking about, then sent Steel on a wild goose chase by claiming that there were some supplies in a car outside he needed help carrying.
Eventually, Clonetron found the Zord computer inside Nate's lab. He was about to smash it with a hammer, only to be stopped by Steel, who'd figured out he was not the real Nate. The two fought, and Clonetron assumed Steel's form. When the other Rangers entered the lab, they were shocked to discover two Steels fighting. The two Steels argued about who was the real one. The real Steel managed to prove he was real, by telling Nate about the conversation he overheard him and Zoey having about not being good at sports. His cover blown, Clonetron blasted the zord computer, disabling it, then fled.
Once outside of Grid Battleforce, he assumed his regular form. Devon, Ravi, and Zoey confronted him and they fought, with Clonetron proving to be a subpar fighter. While Devon left to deal with an incoming Gigadrone, Ravi and Zoey destroyed Clonetron with their Beast-X Cannons.
