Hasbro era[]
- Power Rangers Beast Morphers - Scrozzle or any of Evox's minions can create Robotrons by infecting everyday objects with the Evox Virus.

- Scrozzle mentions that he built the Tronics to protect himself.
- Evox sabotages Neural Aligners to create evil avatars of Blaze and Roxy. In the process, the real Blaze and Roxy enter a strange sleep-like state, and it's said they'll stay like this until the avatars are destroyed. TV STORY-Beasts Unleashed

- Ryjack can also use control devices called Compliance Collars.
