"Hey there! I’ll be the key to your success. Cos I’m part key! Get it? Ha, ha, he, he, he, he!"

―Keytron's first words upon being created by Blaze and Roxy.^[src]

"I'm gonna make you pay! Uhaa!"

―Keytron after being knocked down by Devon and his final words before his destruction.^[src]

Keytron was a key-themed Robotron who served as the main antagonist of the episode "Artist Anonymous."

History[]

Keytron is created from a key and padlock that Robo-Blaze and Robo-Roxy happened to find whilst skulking around outside of Grid Battleforce HQ of Coral Harbor. They order Keytron to destroy Grid Battleforce from the inside out (or at the very least do as much damage as he can) by using his powers to unlock any door. He breaches the base through the parking entrance but encounters Ravi in the main parking area who has just arrived for work. Ravi calls for help and then attacks Keytron so they fight, with Keytron quickly overpowering Ravi only to be driven off by Nate and Steel. Keytron flees outside where he is cornered by the three Rangers and he has to flee when Zoey and Devon arrive on Cruise in motorcycle mode. In the Crystal Dimension, Scrozzle comes up with a new plan to invade Grid Battleforce by using explosive paint to bring down the armored walls. He then disguises Keytron as a human painter named "Pierre" who will claim credit for a mural Ravi has secretly painted due to Commander Shaw disapproving of art. Evox, posing as Mayor Daniels, travels to Coral Harbor and convinces Commander Shaw to let "Pierre" paint a mural on one of Grid Battleforce's walls. Before "Pierre" can get to work however, Ravi steps forward and confesses to his mother that he was the one who painted the mural.

Exposed as a fraud, Pierre and his assistants (Tronics in disguise) throw the explosive paint at the Rangers who manage to get out of the way just in time. Pierre transforms back into Keytron while the assistants reveal themselves as Tronics so Commander Shaw and Mayor Daniels leave the scene, leaving the Rangers to battle Keytron and the Tronics. Using his key arm, Keytron is able to lock the Transpods on the Ranger's shoulders which prevents them from summoning any weapons. Devon tries to transport the Beast-X Ultra Blaster but fails and Nate explains that Keytron has "locked the programming." Even without their weapons, the Rangers take them on with Devon fighting and managing to overpower Keytron. In spite of being overpowered, Keytron tries to take down Devon but is shot down by Commander Shaw using a Beast-X Blaster. She then throws Devon the Beast-X Ultra Blaster and Keytron is finished off by the Beast-X Ultra Blaster's Beast-X Ultra Blast which knocks him onto his back where he explodes.

Keytron had no weaknesses.

Arsenal[]

Key Arm: Keytron had a large key for a right arm that he could smack his enemies with.
- Unlocking: Keytron could unlock any door using his key arm. After firing his lock beam, he could stick his arm in it and turn it around.

Behind the Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

Keytron was voiced by John Leigh and portrayed physically as "Pierre" by Kelson Henderson, who also does the voice of Cruise.
