" I can change your image to anything like this! "

―Body Switcher's first words after being summoned by Astronema.^[src]

"That's an easy one."

―After Astronema tells him to turn her into the Yellow Ranger.^[src]

"Time to make a big change!"

―Body Switcher after growing giant.^[src]

"Whoa!"

―Body Switcher's last word before his demise.^[src]

Body Switcher was a body-switching bat-winged Grim Reaper monster used by Astronema.

History

He had the ability to change his image to any person or monster, he made Astronema look like Ashley to help her to infiltrate the Astro Megaship and destroy the other Rangers and captured Ashley and made her look like Astronema. After the chaos that ensued was solved, Body Switcher fought the Mega Voyager and was destroyed.

Personality

Body Switcher was very prideful of his abilities, which earned him Astronema calling a show-off, which led Ashley to take advantage of his pride in his body switching abilities to trick him into turning her into Astronema, which he did to prove he could do so. However, he is very loyal to Astronema.
