"Activate the monitors immediately, you worthless Kudabots."

―Galvanax talking to the Kudabots.^[src]

The Kudabots are the first set of robotic ashigaru-like footsoldiers of the Galaxy Warriors who are armed with yari spears and tanegashima arquebuses. They also pilot the Warrior Dome.

History

Kudabots serve as Galvanax's front line troops and guards. They often assist Galvanax's monsters in fighting the Rangers. They also serve as technicians and assistants on Galvanax's ship. Like most Power Rangers foot soldiers, Kudabots are easy to beat one-on-one, and are typically deployed in large numbers to compensate for their individual weakness. When damaged or defeated, they emit a yellow-white surge of energy. In some cases, their bodies disintegrate completely.

Kudabots communicate in undecipherable high-pitched electronic noises. It has been revealed by Cosmo Royale that Kudabots are unable to talk. TV STORY-Galvanax Rises

After Galvanax's death, the surviving Kudabots work exclusively for Madame Odius. TV STORY-Echoes of Evil

They are all destroyed offscreen when Victor and Monty blow up the Warrior Dome Ship. TV STORY-Reaching the Nexus

Personality

The Kudabots act as hostile beings towards the rest of the living beings that are not related to their master or that are directly enemies of him, but apparently the only one they fear is their own master.

They also become very friendly and cordial, an example is that they are not afraid of Odius because she is not hostile towards them.

Notes

• Unlike their Sentai counterparts, who were all upgraded by Raizo Gabi (Ripcon's Sentai counterpart) into the Jukkarage (Basherbots' Sentai counterparts), the Kudabots are a different set of army from the Basherbots, as they appeared a few times even though the Basherbots already existed and take over their roles as the enemy foot soldiers. This is similar to a situation in Ninninger's summer movie, where the Hitokarage and Jukkarage both coexist under the villain Juza Yumihari.
• The Kudabots appear only in the flashback of "Reaching the Nexus".
• The Kudabots are the fifth regular Foot Soldiers that do not appear with their masters during their final battle against the Rangers.
