Crash (aka Red Creep) is a monster who is a member of Divatox's Crew as well as the leader and the lead guitarist of Crash & the Creeps. He serves as the main antagonist of the episode "The Song of Confusion".
History
Crash and his band of musical monsters were used by Divatox in order to play the titular Song of Confusion in order to torture the Turbo Rangers.
They first appeared in their human forms when they auditioned by playing the titular song and won their places on Cassie's band, with Crash as the lead guitarist. They went as far as performing at the Youth Center whilst Piranhatrons stole musical equipment for them to use later. Whether Divatox sent him or he just decided to wreck the city is unclear, but he and The Creeps attacked the city in their true monster forms. They battled the Rangers among the rooftops, with Crash fighting T.J. one on one, and were winning but fled when the Rangers deployed their Auto Blasters.
Rygog, Porto and Elgar tracked him and The Creeps to a cave and convinced them to fight again by presenting them with a new cannon named the Ranger Scrambler. Sometime later, Cassie confronted him in the hallways of Angel Grove High where he cryptically referred to his music conquering the world. A little later, he oversaw the movement of his equipment from the Space Base to the Park via the Divacar. When the Rangers discovered he was part of Divatox's crew he turned into his true form while The Creeps were disguised as humans. The played their song again, but their instruments were vaporized by the Auto Blasters.
Without their instruments they made thier way to the Beach, were the Creeps had shed their human disguises. After fighting their Ranger counterparts, pounding them in the process, they attempted to use the Ranger Scrambler, but were beaten back by the Turbo R.A.M. in cannon mode, which destroyed the other four Creeps. Crash grew courtesy of the torpedoes but the Rangers summoned their Turbozords and formed the Turbo Megazord. Crash went berserk swinging his sword around to apparently destroy the Turbo Megazord but was unable to attack it before being eliminated by the Spin-Out attack.
Personality
Crash, in both forms, is clearly a chauvinist and showman who enjoys the theatrical whilst also being a cruel and sadistic monster.

Weaknesses
to be added
Arsenal
- Guitar: Crash's human form used a large electric guitar when performing his music but it was vaporized along with the other instruments.
- Swords: Crash has used two swords in battle, When human size he wielded a sword that resembled T.J.'s Turbo Lightning Sword, When enlarged he wielded a giant grey sword that he tried to use against the Turbo Megazord.

Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
- Crash was voiced by Kirk Thornton and played in his human form by Peter Kenney.
- Kenney's name doesn't appear on the credits because he wasn't supposed to play the character of Crash as the original plan was for him to remain in monster form throughout and be the band's hidden puppetmaster. For whatever reason, this was never corrected, but when he arrived on set they liked his look and switched his role to the charismatic lead singer, Crash.

Notes
- Since John Fletcher wrote TSOC and "Fire In Your Tank", he and Torch Tiger have almost the exact same words when they grew.
- It is unclear whether Crash and his entourage were part of Divatox's army already or were hired (like with the Maniac Mechanic).
- The reason that he was going berserk with his sword before being eliminated was because he spent his final moments trying to destroy the Turbo Megazord with his final attack in Carranger. This attack was named the Great Galaxy Blitzkrieg Science Darkness Sword: Lightning Blitzkrieg Plasma Cyber Aurora Centrifugal Gravity Super Thunder something and was presumably a twisted version of the Turbo Megazord Spinout.
- The name was so absurdly long that he was destroyed before he could finish it, only reaching the word "thunder".
