"Who am I to resist such a request? Switcheroo! Ha!"
―Boneswitch's first lines after being told by Mucus to switch bodies and later on switching Slyther's and Mucus' bodies with his Switcheroo Energy Laser.[src]
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Hold that thought. Switcheroo! Roo! Roo! "

"Argh! Argh! Oh! Hruaa... Aaaaa! No, no - not the tail! Argh!"
―Boneswitch attempting to escape before being ambushed by the Mosa Razor Zord and his final lines before being reverted to a Sporix Cell after his defeat.[src]
Over 65 million years ago, Boneswitch and the other Sporix Beasts invaded Rafkon, the home planet of Zayto. Though he and his fellow Knights of Rafkon fought hard, the Sporix ravaged Rafkon and removed all traces of life from the planet. The Sporix then turned their attention to Earth but Zayto and the remaining Knights had managed to escape Rafkon and tracked the Sporix Beasts to Earth where they engaged them in battle with the help of the dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. Boneswitch was first seen hatching on Earth with Brineblast and Sugarhit before the Rafkon Knights descended upon the three.
When the other Sporix are accidentally released in the modern day during Void Knight's invasion of Dinohenge, Boneswitch is amongst the Sporix Beasts that escape. TV STORY-Destination Dinohenge
Boneswitch hatched offscreen and was found by Mucus and Slyther. The two brought him back to Area 62 and introduced him to Void Knight. After showcasing his ability to swap people's bodies, Void Knight asked Boneswitch tells him to steal Purplebeard's talismans from the Pine Ridge Museum and swap any Rangers that could interfere.
In the museum, Boneswitch crushed through the crates to search for the treasure chest. He sees the chest inside the truck and takes it. However, when he opened it, the chest was empty. When the Rangers arrived, Boneswitch destroyed the chest (much to the Blue Ranger's dismay) in anger and summons the Hengemen. The Rangers morphed in response but before they can begin to fight, Boneswitch immediately switched Zayto, Amelia, Ollie, and Javi's bodies, causing them to de-morph, while Aiyon and Izzy managed to avoid the attack. Both took on Boneswitch while the other four attempted to rejoin the fight. However, they discovered that they could not morph. Knowing they couldn't fight like this, Zayto/Amelia, Ollie/Javi, Amelia/Zayto, and Javi/Ollie teleported back to base, leaving Aiyon fighting Boneswitch on his own. Aiyon dons the Electro Battle Armor and was about to finish the Sporix Beast with the Electro Fury Blade Blast, but the monster managed to escape at the last few seconds.
Later that day, Boneswitch and the Hengemen caused havoc on Palm Plaza, but the Rangers managed to arrive in time. He taunts them that they can't morph without their powers, but to his shock, the body-swapped Rangers switch their Dino Keys as Ollie/Javi and Solon managed to figure out a work-around with morphing in different bodies. Aiyon charges first on Boneswitch, only to be body-swapped with a pigeon, causing him to de-morph. The remaining five then take on the Hengemen using both the Blazing Battle Armor and Boost Keys, before turning their attention to Boneswitch. The five Rangers then use their Dino Fury Boost Blast to overpower their enemy. Enraged, he grows into a giant. The Rangers form the Dino Fury Megazord Warrior Formation and take on Boneswitch before using the Stego Drill attack on the Sporix Beast's horns, breaking it apart. This causes the body switch to be undone, with the Rangers returning to their respective bodies before they continue their battle. Aiyon also returns to his body and rejoins the others in the Megazord. Panicking, Boneswitch attempts to escape, but Aiyon calls the Mosa Razor Zord to take care of him. The aquatic Zord manages to capture Boneswitch and destroyed him with its tail attack. The monster's Sporix Cell then falls to the ground, being reclaimed by Void Knight. Despite being disappointed that Boneswitch failed, Void Knight promises the Beast that he will serve him well as a cell before teleporting away.
Later that day, the consequences of Boneswitch's actions are revealed. It turns out the chest he smashed turned out to be a map for Purplebeard's talismans, which were revealed to be Dino Fury Keys. This means that, inadvertently, Boneswitch helped the Rangers acquire two new upgrades. TV STORY-The Makeover
Boneswitch participates at the invasion of the Sporix during the final battle against the Rangers and the Rafkonians. He fights along with Clawfare against the Rangers and the Rafkonians. Boneswitch was defeated off-screen by them, but then his Sporix Egg was used by Void Queen to create the chimeric Nemesis Beast and after the Rangers' victory, he is imprisoned forever by Master Red, Blue and Green in a crystal.

Notes[]
Boneswitch was the first Sporix Beast to be defeated by the Mosa Razor Zord and the second to have his Sporix collected by Void Knight personally.
Boneswitch shares some points of similarities to Professor Strickler from Power Rangers Dino Super Charge, as both have an ability to swap their enemies' bodies and debuted in a Power Rangers show that is themed on dinosaurs.
However, Strickler's ability to swap bodies comes from a device while Boneswitch can use this ability naturally.
Boneswitch was the final Sporix Beast to appear in Power Rangers Dino Fury Season 1 and the final Sporix Beast in Season 1 to be collected by Void Knight's team.
Boneswitch is one of the few Monsters-Of-The-Week to have their powers altered from their Sentai counterpart because while he had body-switching powers, his Sentai counterpart had magnetism powers.
