Psychotick was a kappa/tick-like Toxic Mutant that served as the main antagonist of the episode "Prince Takes Knight".
History[]
After Hisser is defeated by the untimely arrival of Robo Knight, Psychotick is summoned by Vrak to aid him in ensnaring Robo Knight in order to reprogram him to serve Warstar as a means of ensuring he no longer interferes on the plans of Admiral Malkor.
He lures Robo Knight in by attacking an amusement park and succeeds in capturing him with his Tick Attack.
While Robo Knight's energy is getting drained, Vrak send Psychotick to distract the Rangers by draining electricity around town.
He fails in doing so but succeeds in pounding the Rangers into submission after teaming up with Vrak in battle. Unfortunately for him, this triggers Robo Knight and he is freed from his confinement and Psychotick is destroyed by Robo Knight's Vulcan Cannon after taking the shot for Vrak.
Vrak uses the Zombats to revive and enlarged him but he is destroyed again by the Gosei Grand Megazord. TV STORY-Prince Takes Knight
An illusion of Psychotick is summoned by Distractor to fight the Gosei Great Megazord but can do no damage due to not being real.
However, he later becomes a real monster when Vrak powers up Distractor with the Wild Sword. He helps to overwhelm the Mega Rangers but is obliterated by the Ultra Power Dynamic Strike after they gain their new Ultra Mode. TV STORY-Ultra Power
Personality[]
Psychotick was a power-hungry villain who enjoyed wreaking havoc and boasting his strength to his enemies.
