Rotox (upgraded into Rotox DX) is the first mechanical opponent faced by the Mega Rangers and the primary antagonist of the episode "The Human Factor". He is a prototype who is sent out to analyze the Rangers' strengths and weaknesses, for Vrak intends to defeat humanity through the Robots without making the same mistakes as the Insectoids and Toxic Mutants before them.
In the season finale episode "End Game", three robotic clones of Rotox, the Water Rotox Army, were created.
History[]
Prior to Admiral Malkor entering his cocoon and after Bigs and Bluefur's defeat, Metal Alice is completed by Vrak and creates her first experimental machine, Rotox. To demonstrate the might of machines, she attacks him but loses her left leg. After pulling herself together and having earned Vrak's approval, she sends Rotox to attack the city, drawing the attention of the Megaforce Rangers.
The Rangers try to fight him but are outmatched and restrained by Rotox's strength and weaponry. Robo Knight later arrives but is caught by surprise and temporarily incapacitated. The Rangers then break free from the chains restricting them and ascend into the Ultra Mode, which proves more than enough to defeat Rotox with the Ultra Gosei Dynamic.
Immediately after Rotox’s death, Metal Alice rebuilt and upgrade the robot into Rotox DX to destroy the Rangers while she tried to persuade Robo Knight into joining her. He overpowers them using his chest cannons, but he retreats with Metal Alice after.
They go back to battle the Rangers but Robo Knight arrives and aids the Rangers. With Metal Alice retreating to a farthar distance, he is later destroyed by the Knight Dynamic.
Vrak sends the Zombolts and enlarged Rotox DX. He is then destroyed by the Gosei Ultimate Megazord, much to Metal Alice and Vrak’s displeasure.
