Negatron is a three eyed mouth/insult themed Nighlok with unique battle style: tormenting his enemies to a series of insults and emotional pain becomes physical. He serves as the main antagonist of the episode "Sticks and Stones".
History[]
Negatron was one of Nighloks. He possessed unique ability to torment his enemies to a series of insults and emotional pain becomes physical. When he used his abilities, three eyes on his back glow red.
In the sixth episode, Negatron arrived at Master Xandred's Junk and Octoroo greeted him and called him a master of human fears. Negatron told Octoroo that he will fight the Samurai Rangers and insult people in the human world. Octoroo often covered Negatron's mouth with his hand and told him that he had to keep his insults for the humans.
Then Negatron attacked Panorama City and started insulting people. He called a builder, who was eating a sandwich, untidy. Negatron insulted a mailman by telling him that he was afraid of dogs & cats. He insulted a woman, who was painting her eyes, by telling her to go to the circus. He also abused Bulk and Spike. Negatron humiliated Bulk & Spike by calling them clowns and telling them that they were samurai wannabes. The Nighlok also abused women in the cafe by calling them gossip girls. The Nighlok also abused an old man in a car, by jumping on his car and telling him that he drove awfully. the old man fell out of the car, due to the insult and his car crashed into the shop. Negatron even commented that sometimes the old man parked even worse and told a joke that he won't take money from an old man for parking. The old man was horrified and ran away.
Negatron was proud of his job and then he encountered the Power Rangers. He easily defeated the Rangers with his insult attacks, but his ability didn't work on Emily, because she taught herself during her childhood not to let insults hurt her. Then he left.
The Nighlok returned to the junk of Master Xandred and "trained" his ability on Dayu, making her very furious. Dayu wanted to attack Negatron for abusing her, but Octoroo and Xandred interrupted and stopped her. Octoroo said that he needed to know if Negatron's power didn't vanish. Negatron wondered why his ability didn't work on Emily. Xandred told Negatron that level of Sanzu River is high and sent Negatron to continue insulting people.
Negatron returned to the city with an army of Moogers and again battled the Rangers. Negatron continued abusing the Rangers and again tried to insult Emily. This time Emily defeated Negatron and Mike covered the Nighloks mouth with stones. Emily attacked the monster with her Spin Sword Earth Symbol and Jayden destroyed him with the Fire Smasher in Cannon Mode.
Then Negatron returned as a Mega-Monster and could fire lightning from the eyes on his back. He also tried to abuse the Rangers again. He was again destroyed by the Beetle Blaster Megazord. TV STORY-Sticks and Stones
Negatron later attended a Halloween party at Nighlok Heaven. He recounts his battles with the Samurai Rangers. TV STORY-Party Monsters
Personality[]
Negatron was arrogant and confident Nighlok who enjoyed his ability to torment his enemies emotionally. He insulted and abused people and was proud of his abilities. He also trained his insults on Dayu, making her very furious. His arrogance was his weakness as he underestimated Emily and was finally defeated by the Yellow Ranger.
