Cruel Chrome was a hunting-hose themed monster in the Machine Empire.
History
Cruel Chrome was created by Prince Gasket from Detective Jerome Stone's waverunner. He was able to fire a hazardous water-like substance on the Rangers from a hose-like weapon. The Rangers received an antidote, they delivered a pounding to the monster, whose watery substance this time had no effect on the Rangers. The Rangers then unleashed a massive beatdown on the monster, with a punch from Jason finally taking him down by backflipping over him and kicking him in the smalls of his back. Cruel Chrome was then grown into a giant and had spikes from his hands and feet. The Rangers called on their Super Zeo Zords (Red's was piloted by Alpha 5 via remote control rather than directly). Cruel Chrome had the upper hand for a bit until Jason arrived in Pyramidas. The Super Zeo Megazord was formed and. although it was tied up and electrocuted, managed to smash his boomerang and the chain. However, he still had a devastating attack from the cannon in his back to use which forced them to form the Super Zeo Ultrazord which destroyed him. Alpha replaced the wave runner, unbeknownst to Bulk, Skull, and Stone. Prince Gasket was extremely dismayed by this defeat, saying he should've been king by now.

Notes
- The entirety of his ground fight up until he grew is replaced by American footage.
- He is the last monster to be destroyed by the Zeo Ultrazord.
- Cruel Chrome's costume was later used as components for different monsters in "Fire in Your Tank". His body was scaled down, recolored orange and blue, and was combined with the recolored and modified head of Main Drain and the horns of Robogoat to form "Vitrified Virus." His head was recolored silver and combined with a tunic-wearing body of Mean Screen to form "Silver Streaker." His shoulder pads were combined with unused Ninja Sentai Kakuranger monster Keukegen (who only appeared in the background of "Alien Rangers of Aquitar" and "King for a Day") to form "Hardhairball."
