Bombardo is a arquebus/factory-themed monster and the secondary villain of the episode "Pirate in Pink".
History[]
This black arquebus/factory-theme monster was created by Kamdor from an abandoned pirate ship cannon and sent alongside Miratrix to obtain the Eye of the Sea. He was armed with a powerful cannon on his shoulder, hence his name.
In the first encounter alongside Miratrix against four of the Rangers, he attacked the Rangers until Rose, who was possessed by Brownbeard the Pirate's ghost, gave him and Miratrix a beating, making the two fall back.
Later, when Brownbeard unpossessed Rose, Brownbeard had the Eye of the Sea until Miratrix and Bombardo attacked and made off with the Eye of the Sea.
Later Miratrix and Bombardo attacked San Angeles and wanted to use the Eyes of the Sea to destroy the city. Brownbeard caught up with Miratrix and Bombardo and tried to reclaim the Eye of the Sea. They almost finished him off but Rose came just in time to save him. Bombardo used the Eye of the Sea to turn into a giant buzzsaw machine, but was taken out by the Shovel Driver, causing him to revert back.
Kamdor then used a sutra to make Bombardo grow and the DriveMax Megazord combined itself with the Shovel Driver to form the DriveMax Megazord Shovel Formation. It was this form that destroyed Bombardo. TV STORY-Pirate in Pink

Notes[]
- Bombardo resembles the Thunder Megazord of Power Rangers Ninja Storm, the reason for this is because Bombardo's Boukenger counterpart, Takumigami, as with each primary antagonist and each individual monster of the week was visually designed as an homage to the various robots and other mecha piloted by the protagonists of the 29 previous Super Sentai Series (except for J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai), as Boukenger was the 30th anniversary series. Takumigami's look was based on the Thunder Megazord's counterpart, the Ikazuchi Gattai Gouraijin of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger.
- Bombardo is the second monster to have two or more forms, the first being Weather Machine Monster.
- His giant Buzz saw mode is a remodeled version of General Ivar's Ravage Tank from VR Troopers.
