General Tynamon was the manager of the famous fighter Brax in Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel. After his fighter was booked to fight in the latest season of Galaxy Warriors, he and Tynamon became guests on the Warrior Dome. He hid a secret, that he was a tiny monster piloting a human-sized robot body. His small size made him useful in Odius’ final plan.
History[]
At some point, Tynamon, a tiny monster, constructed a robotic body for himself to hide his lacking size. He went on to become the manager of famous fighter Brax, though not even the fighter would come to learn his "little" secret.
Some time after the demise of the Galactic Ninjas and the failure of her deal with the ruler of the Antiverse Lord Draven, Madame Odius was approached by Tynamon with a deal. He and Brax would help Odius in destroying the Rangers and obtaining the Ninja Power Stars, and in return, Odius would grant Tynamon the size he so desired.
Tynamon arrives on the Galaxy Warriors Ship with Brax joining Odius’ crew, telling her that they have a plan. He then gets annoyed at Badonna for trying to get Brax’s attention. She tells him that she knows his secret and that he’d better watch out or she will tell the whole universe. He then introduces Brax to the Power Rangers, where he pretends to be weak to trick the Rangers. He then watches Brax’s progress against the Rangers from the ship. TV STORY-Prepare To Fail
After Voltipede is destroyed, he finds the Ninja Fusion Star and brings it back to Madame Odius. TV STORY-Car Trouble
Tynamon explains his plan to Odius, to use her hammer with the Ninja Fusion Star to create a Mega Monster by fusing 6 Skullgators to destroy the Rangers and get their Power Stars. Odius is impressed but tells him that the Power Stars obey respond to the owner's voice, so Tynamon decides to steal a Ranger's voice. He steals Levi's voice and retreats. Later, he confronts the five others Rangers and uses Levi's voice with Odius's hammer and the Ninja Fusion Star to fuse 6 Skullgators to create Megamauler, who fights and defeats the Rangers but they succeed to escape. A furious Tynamon insults Megamauler, who tries to crush him, but the general shrinks him. Tired of being beaten and insulted, Megamauler fled, withTynamon chasing after him. He retrieves him in the Warrior Dome Ship, but realizes that his voice has returned. Megamauler tells him that the Rangers have broken his spell. No longer able to use the Ninja Fusion Star, Tynamon succeeded in persuading Megamauler to fight the Rangers with him. However, Megamauler was destroyed by Levi using his new Super Star mode, and Tynamon fights the Rangers. Levi uses his final attack on him, while Tynamon survives but loses the Ninja Fusion Star. Levi takes it and returns it to Brody. Tynamon says that he will have his revenge and retreats. TV STORY-Happy to Be Me
Tynamon storms into Odius’ room and tells her she must fulfill her part of the deal. She tells him that he is not one to bargain and exposes his small size to Brax and Badonna. Badonna then takes this chance to insult him. Odius then tells him to capture Mick for her using his size in exchange to make him giant. Brax battles the Rangers to keep them busy while he brainwashes Mick. He then battles the Rangers.
When his face is shot, his tiny form is revealed and he calls for the Gigantify Ray. Odius decides to let Cosmo gigantify him, which he does. Now giant, his wish has come true, making him very happy. He blocks the Ninja Fusion Zord's Master Slash and uses his staff to bash the Megazord on the ground. They then form the Ninja Steel Ultrazord and blast him, weakening him. He is destroyed by the Ninja Steel Ultrazord Blast with him using his final moments to curse his bad luck. Madame Odius then tells Badonna that she never needed ‘that tiny twit Tynamon’ anyway because now she has Mick under her control. TV STORY-Magic Misfire

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Tynamon is voiced by Estevez Gillespie, who voiced Tensou and Hisser from Megaforce and Wrench and Curio from Dino Charge. His Levi voice is provided by Jordi Webber.
Design[]
to be added
Etymology[]
His name is based in the word tiny befitting his small size.
Notes[]
- Tynamon's head design incorporates an incomplete Okina (old man) mask from Noh theatre, which also happens to be the oldest style of Noh mask.
- Tynamon does not have a strongest attack like every other main villain in Ninja Steel/Super Ninja Steel. Even Brax had a strongest attack.
- The reason for this is because his Sentai counterpart's signature attack was firing a giant human skull made of green energy at his enemies. This was probably seen as too dark and was omitted.
- Having a very small self being inside a human-sized robot is a callback to Zurgane, albeit offscreen unlike his Sentai counterpart from Hurricaneger.
- This makes his name a play on words.
- This is the third robot character Estevez has voiced since Tensou and Wrench. Though in this case, he is not an actual robot, but a tiny alien with a human-sized lookalike robot body.
- Sarah has pointed out that his appearance does resemble that of a lawn ornament.
- Tynamon has a secret which Madame Odius knows as well as Badonna: he is a tiny monster in a robot body to give the illusion that he is of normal size.
- The cockpit of his robot body is the same one used to control Advanced Youkai Oboroguruma, the Ninninger counterpart of Megamauler. It was just edited into the Sentai footage.
- Tynamon is the first of Odius's generals to be destroyed.
- His voice is meant to be an impression of the voice actor's mother.
- Tynamon was absent in Super Ninja Steel episodes 14 and 15 for unknown reasons.
