"Huh? What's that?!"

―Datascammer when confronted by the Winged Mega Voyager and his final words before his destruction.^[src]

Datascammer was a robotic data-gathering lizard monster who served as the main antagonist of the episode "Carlos On Call".

History

A lizard monster with a satellite dish around his head, Datascammer is instructed by Astronema to scan the Space Rangers and gather information on them for the Psycho Rangers to use. He is first detected by Alpha 6 and confronts four of the Rangers at a construction site where he has the upper-hand until Andros arrives and takes him down with the Battlizer's energy punches so he flees. Datascammer later reappears to attack Silvy Larson in order to lure out the Rangers again which he succeeds in doing. He quickly blasts down the Space Rangers but Andros defeats him again with the Battlizer and they knock out Datascammer with the combined Spiral Saber Booster Mode and the Quadro Blaster. Astronema enlarges him with the Dark Fortress' Satellasers with Datascammer blasting and stamping on the Rangers so they form the Mega Voyager which overwhelms him with brute force. Datascammer blasts it with blinding lights and lasers only for it to vanish in a cloud of smoke and then fly in from the sky as the Winged Mega Voyager. Shocked, Datascammer is helpless as the Mega V3 Missile Mode slams into and obliterates him.
