This article is about a monster in Power Rangers RPM. |
Magnetron is one of Venjix's Attack Bots. He is magnet-themed and serves as the main antagonist of the episode "Ranger Green".
History
Magnetron was created by Venjix. Venjix sent him to attack Corinth, destroy the Power Rangers and open locks on gates of the city with his magnetic powers.
Magnetron entered the city and started attacking the city's computer banks in order to get the shield codes. The Rangers went to stop him, hoping that using Ziggy's teleportation ability, he could sneak up behind him, while the others distracted him.
However, when they went to proceed with their plan, things didn't go too well as Magnetron can use his arm magnets to manipulate any metal objects, including the Rangers' weapons. The Attack Bot used his powers to magnetize the Rangers' Nitro Blasters and started pulling the Rangers towards him.
Meanwhile, Ziggy never showed up behind the Attack Bot. So the Rangers had no choice but to use their Nitro Swords and give into the pull of the Attack Bot. When the swords struck the Attack Bot, he was hit but managed to escape.
Later, Scott and Flynn found the Attack Bot at the junkyard with Grinders. They tried to fight him, but they needed help. Summer and Dillon arrived, while Ziggy was in prison. Though the four fought hard, the Magnetron was still too much for them. He blasted them, forcing them to power down.
As he and the Grinders were about to escape Corinth with the Shield Codes, the four Rangers showed up again and fought the evil forces. This time, the Rangers managed to take down the Attack Bot with the Road Blaster.
However, Venjix begins the download and made Magnetron grow. The Rangers formed the High Octane Megazord and were ready to battle with the Super Saber, but the Attack Bot used his power to steal the sword from them. The monster then used the Megazord's own weapon against it.
Luckily Dillon and Ziggy arrived just in time. They managed to blast the Attack Bot back. The High Octane Megazord then combined with the Tail Spinner. This allowed the team to use a new spinning slash attack, which they used to destroy Magnetron. TV STORY-Ranger Green
