History
Goldar captures Kimberly and Aisha’s friend Shawna to try and drive a wedge between the Power Rangers, which would make them refuse to work together and pave the way to conquering Earth. However, Lord Zedd’s original plan fails because the Rangers cooperated. To try and rectify this, Zedd creates the Jaws of Destruction from a large saw in the Angel Grove High School wood shop go destroy them all. Whilst the remaining five Power Rangers discuss how to rescue the hostages, the Jaws of Destruction attacks the Park and Zordon tells the Rangers that the Jaws of Destruction is one of Zedd's most dangerous monsters, the Rangers go to stop the monster's attack on the city. With competing interests, the Power Rangers split up; Tommy and Aisha go to rescue their friends, the other three Power Rangers will fight the monster. When the Rangers arrive, the Jaws of Destruction summons Putties to, but they are all defeated and the Power Rangers go to fight the Jaws of Destruction. However, the monster summons more Putties, leaving the Rangers outnumbered.
Once Kimberly is rescued by Tommy and morphs, she joins the other Rangers in slaying the Putties but Tommy has had to remain at the cave due to Goldar appearing. After the Putties are wiped out, Zedd enlarges the Jaws of Destruction with a Growth Bomb. The Rangers summon the Thunderzords and form the Thunder Megazord. Jaws of Destruction charges the Thunder Megazord, which pulls out the Thunder Saber and delivers a devastating slash across his waist. When the Jaws of Destruction turns, they deliver a second stronger slash down his chest which makes him drop his saw-blades and allows them to finish him off.
