History
S.P.D.
Disappearance
Him and the rest of the A-Squad Rangers used their Delta Squad Megazord to defeat a giant robot, the aftermath of the fight was later cleaned up by the B-Squad. TV STORY-Beginnings Emperor Gruumm, leader of the Troobian Empire, sent his troops into the Helix Nebula, the A-Squad was also sent to the nebula in order to stop Gruumm's forces. TV STORY-Confronted
The A-Squad then sent a garbled distress signal as the team was overrun. As SPD failed to find the A-Squad, Anubis Cruger feared they'd been killed in action while the B-Squad operated as Earth's Rangers in the meantime. TV STORY-Walls In reality, the Blue Ranger and his team had betrayed Space Patrol Delta in preference of joining Emperor Gruumm by their own will. They later attacked the colony of Gamma 4, whose inhabitants send a distress call. TV STORY-S.W.A.T.
Betrayal
Later, the squad faked having crashed on Gamma Orion and were "rescued" by the B-Squad. Once they were back at S.P.D., the A-Squad showed their true colors and took in Cruger as their prisoner to Gruumm. TV STORY-Resurrection
He and the A-Squad then called out the B-Squad Rangers and did battle with them. Throughout the battle, he and the A-Squad Rangers were confident they could defeat the "second choice" B-Squad, and were winning at first. After Sky Tate and the others used their S.W.A.T. Mode however, they were able to beat the A-Squad. This then led to a Zord battle, which the A-Squad lost. Following this, they were arrested and the A-Squad position was retired. TV STORY-Endings
