"The Putty Patrollers will make space dust out of those kids! And the beauty is, if they don’t, we can always make more. Now into the Monster-Matic they go. Ten seconds should do it."

―Finster creating the first Putty Patrollers.

Putty Patrollers were the standard army unit deployed by Rita Repulsa and her Evil Space Aliens during the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Character History

This article contains content in reference to the main TV series, as well as supplemental material, such as the comics. A sliding/floating timeline applies. Story instances for TV and other media will be clearly marked.

Putties are created in Finster's Monster-Matic. Though apparently made from the same basic clay or putty-like compound as the specialized creations, they differ from normal monsters in that they are mass-produced through use of steam-pressured molds and then sent through the monster machine in large numbers. After being fully cooked, they're ejected one at a time from the exit tube at the far end of the machine. Though generally identical, Putties often display some level of individual personality, and are occasionally given number designations to identify them within a given group. Indeed, not all Putties are created equal, as some examples show even less than the typically lacking skill level. Such Putties are usually broken back down into their clay building blocks and recycled for use in other Putties, and perhaps even monsters.

Mutant Rangers

Five Putty Patrollers were given the Badges of Darkness, which contained evil versions of the Ranger powers, turning them into five copies of the six rangers. Under supervision of Goldar, a group of candidate Putty Patrollers underwent physical tests to prove their worth to receive these powers. However, none were worthy of becoming the Red Mutant Ranger and Goldar destroyed the Red Badge of Darkness. The Pink and Yellow Mutants were destroyed by a shot from the Power Blaster, while the remaining three as well as Commander Crayfish, the stand-in for Red Ranger, were destroyed in battle with Ultrazord. TV STORY-Mighty Morphin Mutants

After Lord Zedd's arrival at Rita's Palace and subsequent disposal of their leader, the standard Putty model was discarded in favor of Lord Zedd's personally-created Z Putty Patrollers. They wouldn't be seen again for another 26 years. TV STORY-The Mutiny

Beast Morphers

Putty Patrollers in Beast Morphers Season 2

The Putty Patrollers returned in the second season of Power Rangers Beast Morphers, after the evil space alien Ryjack reanimates them using a device he has on his person and deploys them to attack the Power Rangers.

Personality

The Putties had some manner of spoken language though it was incomprehensible to humans, coming across as strings of garbled noises not unlike the sounds of someone trying to speak while underwater. However, they could speak very fluently when disguised as human beings.

TV Variants

• Bones had the Skeleton Warriors who were skeleton-themed Putty Patrollers. TV STORY-High Five
• Pumpkin Rapper had pumpkin-headed Putty Patrollers. TV STORY-Trick or Treat
• Rhinoblaster had football-themed Putty Patrollers. TV STORY-Football Season

Boom! Studios Comic Variants

• Standard: The common Putty used as basic foot soldiers to fight the Power Rangers or in some rare cases are sacrificed to be used as clay building material.
• Putty Infiltrator: A new type of Putty created by Finster by researching human test subjects, able to not only assume the form of a human but possess some semblance of human-level intelligence.
• Megaputty: A gigantic three-headed Putty created from a special clay mixture by Finster and designed to be a walking powerhouse that could overwhelm the Rangers. A one-off created to distract the Power Rangers long enough for Rita Repulsa to cast a powerful spell to entrap the Rangers in another dimension.
• Z Putty: After Rita had been banished by Lord Zedd, the evil emperor replaced the old models of Putties with some of his own. They are stronger than regular Putties and have shown to be able to be produced in much greater numbers to the point they can possibly overwhelm the Power Rangers. Despite being tougher to defeat, they are just as inept as the originals and even in one instance run away in fear when they are losing a fight.
• Foot Ninja Putties: Exclusive to the TMNT crossover. The Foot Ninja Putties were special Putty-human hybrids created in an experiment by Finster working with Baxter Stockman in the hopes of making a stronger Foot army, fusing Foot elite ninjas with Finster's magic clay.
• Rita Repulsa: This Putty is a clone of Rita Repulsa serving Lord Zedd. Lord Zedd gave this Putty clone of Rita the powers of the Dark Red Ranger.

Besides the Super Putty Patrollers and the Z Putty Patrollers, some monsters have their variation of the Putty Patrollers:

• Chaos Putty Patrollers: The Chaos Putty Patrollers were gray powered-up Putty Patrollers upgraded by Lord Zedd’s with Chaos Energy.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Strength: Whilst they are far less powerful than personally crafted monsters, the average Putty was physically stronger than a typical human being.
• Durability: Whilst they were unable to stand up to blows from any kind of weapon, any body blows to a Putty unless they were extremely powerful had no effect.
• Adaptability: The Putties were shown to easily adapt to any situation and technology should their mission require it, such as the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery.
• Human Disguise: Putties possessed the ability to transform into human disguises, including copying another person. Despite their primitive nature, a typical disguised Putty had no trouble blending into human society, able to interact with unknowing people without giving themselves away..
  • Speech: When disguised, a Putty was able to speak fluent language and were otherwise indistinguishable from a human being.

Abilities

• Hand to Hand Combatant: The Putties were decent at hand-to-hand combat, being able to overpower the Rangers during their first encounter.

Weaknesses

Arsenal

• Fists: The typical Putty had no weapons and covers their hands and feet with simple gloves and boots.
• Right Ball Hands: Select Putties had their right hands encased in large balls, which they can use as clubs.
• Left Rock Hand Blades: Select Putties featured large razor sharp blade-like rock formations in place of their left hands.

Notes

• Although the Putty Patrollers were the first foot soldiers to appear in the franchise, it is well established that there have been many Ranger teams before Mighty Morphin,' with the earliest known ones being the Ancient Samurai Rangers. As a result, the Putties were the first soldiers to appear but the Moogers from Power Rangers Samurai were the first chronologically.
• The Putty Patrollers hold the record for the Foot Soldiers with the most appearances.
