Overview

History
The Metallosaurus is a dinosaur robot, resembling Godzilla, that General Havoc used against the Turbo Rangers. After the Rangers unsuccessfully used their Turbo Megazord Spinout move while attempting to destroy it, Metallosaurus did a counter-spin and broke the Turbo Megazord Saber's blade then tossed its part of the blade aside, slashed at it with its claws, and bit into the Megazord's shoulder with its fangs. Metallosaurus turned around and slapped the Turbo Megazord twice with its tail. Metallosaurus spun around a third time and wrapped its tail around the Megazord's arms and chest. General Havoc sent electricity through the tail into the Megazord, frying its controls and immobilizing it in the dinosaur's shocking coils. His Chromite troops climbed into the Megazord's cockpit, overwhelmed the Rangers, and threw them out of the robot. Celebrating his victory over the Rangers, General Havoc began flying Metallosaurus high into the atmosphere, towing the wrapped Turbo Megazord into space.
The Metallosaurus was eventually destroyed by the Turbo Rangers' newly acquired Rescuezords. Later, despite its improvements, the Metallosaurus was destroyed again by the Rescue Megazord.
Forms
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Underwater Adaptation: The Metallosaurus was able to hide underwater until General Havoc summoned it.
- Eye Blasts: The Metallosaurus was able to fire large red-purple energy streams out of its eyes strong enough to take down all five Turbo Rangers with one hit and rip a building clean in two.
- Super Spin: The Metallosaurus was able to spin dozens of times on the spot at the same speed as the Turbo Megazord Spinout.
- Bite: The Metallosaurus was able to bite down on the Turbo Megazord's shoulder with enough force to cause devastating damage and spray lightning.
- Super Jumps: The Metallosaurus was able to jump so high that it entered space in a single jump.
- Flight: The Metallosaurus was able to then glide through space back to the Spacebase.
- Signal Blocking: The Metallosaurus was able to block the Lightning Cruiser's tracking systems through unknown means.
Abilities

- Super Stomp: The Metallosaurus was able to stamp with enough force to take down all five Turbo Rangers at once.
- Durability: The Metallosaurus was able to completely shrug off the Turbine Laser's finishing blast, Divatox's Neuron Laser and Lightning Cruiser's finishing barrage (which previously destroyed Dreadfeather) without getting a scratch on him.

Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Teleportation: Unlike its original form, the Metallosaurus was able to teleport to Earth in a flash of red lightning after being rebuilt.
- Eye Blasts: The Metallosaurus was able to fire large red-purple energy streams out of its eyes like in its original incarnation. However, these were stronger enough to take down all five Turbo Rangers and cause massive damage to the Rescuezords.
- Cannon Blast: The rebuilt Metallosaurus could fire a massive Bullet Bill like cannonball from the cannon in the middle of its chest which could cause large explosions and heavily shake up the Rescuezords.
Abilities
- Strength: The Metallosaurus was able to kick the Thunder Loader and Star Chaser Rescuezords away from its feet with a single kick as well as knock back the Star Chaser in High Stance Mode with a single slash.
- Super Kick: The rebuilt Metallosaurus was able to kick with so much force that he sent the Thunder Loader Rescuezord toppling over and made it revert back to vehicle mode.
- Durability: The rebuilt Metallosaurus was able to shrug off multiple kicks from the Lightning Fire Tamer Rescuezord and a jump kick from the Siren Blaster with little to no damage. Not even having its own cannonball sent right back into it did much damage.

Notes
- The Metallosaurus is noted to be the first monster or Zord piloted to attempt to block the Turbo Megazord's Spinout attack, as well as the only one successful in doing so.
- In contrast to its Sentai counterpart Braking where after it was destroyed, Ritchihiker was destroyed along with it, General Havoc survived Metallosaurus' destruction and left to build a stronger one.
- Its name was seen amongst other monster names in the future episode "Fire in Your Tank".
- This is despite it being a Zord and not a monster and its name was misspelled as "Metalsaurus".
