"Hey, whats going on here? Where am I? Who are all of you and why I have been unfrozen?"

―Notacon's first words upon being unfrozen and released.^[src]

"Thank you!"

―Notacon’s final words before being frozen.^[src]

Notacon is a jellyfish/squid-themed mutant who appeared in the nineteenth episode of Power Rangers Time Force. He is a kindhearted mutant, who serves as a major anti-heroic protagonist of the episode "Trip Takes a Stand".

History

Like all other mutants, Notacon was created as the result of the chemical accident. He is a peaceful but powerful mutant. Notacon was frozen in the year 3000 for the crime of petty theft. He only stole some vegetables because no one would feed him because he looked threatening, much to his sadness.

He was released in the year 2001 by Frax for Ransik, who upon learning of the mutant's minor crimes and lack of aggression told him he would fight whether he liked it or not. Frax placed a control device on his head, but Notacon escaped.

Notacon managed to get away from the criminals and hide in the city (though many people ran away from him because of his appearance) where he was discovered by the Time Force Rangers as Ransik's forces were searching for him. Having read up on his record and negligible crime, the Rangers promised they would help him.

Unfortunately the same courtesy was not extended to Eric who believed that all mutants were evil based solely on not being human and should be killed outright, if not for Trip standing between Notacon and Eric and revealing his own status as a non-human, the Quantum Ranger would have killed him. Eric eventually showed mercy for Notacon and spared him. But he didn't tell it to Trip. He said that "There must be something wrong with this thing".

Frax was soon able to take control of Notacon's body and force him to fight and grow to giant size. While the Shadow Force Megazord Mode Red takes him on and tries to hold him in place, but Notacon is too strong. To the Rangers' shock, Eric uses the Q-Rex to hold Notacon in place so Trip can destroy the control device. Frax tried to stop Trip from destroying the control device, but Eric defeated Frax with his Quantum Defender and command the Q-Rex to still hold him in place, allowing Trip to obliterate the device. The Rangers were then able to freeze Notacon with the Blizard Slash much to his delight. Trip promised to help Notacon someday in the future, and the Rangers bid Notacon sweet dreams. His true fate afterwards is unknown but it is possible that his sentence was shortened and he was eventually released into the public.

Notacon's mutant seal patch is located on his upper-left thigh.

Personality

Notacon is the complete opposite of all previous mutants/monsters that any Power Rangers battled. He isn't evil and sinister at all, just like Waspicable. He is kindhearted, compassionate, goodhearted, timid, and gentle. He doesn't like to fight at all and is more of an antihero than a villain. Unlike other mutants, he has redeeming qualities. He is friendly and likes Trip. It is unknown what happened to him afterwards. Trip's promise to help Notacon in the future can tell that the Rangers, possibly in the future, can free him and make him live happily again.

Design

to be added

Etymology

• Notacon's name is a play on the fact he was not a real criminal, being peaceful and having only committed a minor offense (i.e. Notacon, not a convict)

Notes

• Notacon can be used to infer some subtext for Time Force. Notacon's only crime was stealing vegetables yet he was frozen like far more evil mutants like Vexicon and Venomark although those only existed in the X-Vault, can be interpreted to mean that there was some prejudice towards Mutants in the future, explaining Ransik's hatred for humanity.
• Notacon is voiced by Barbara Goodson, the voice actress for fellow monsters Somnibot and TurbanShell among others. In fact, Notacon's voice is almost identical to Somnibot's when she is not affected by her sleeping spell, except Notacon sounds more fearful, panicky and at times prone to crying.
