Shoespike was a Yamawaro/cyclops/running shoe-themed contestant of Galaxy Warriors and the main antagonist of the episode "Ace and the Race".
History[]
A track-and-field type of Galaxy Warriors contestant, any opponent who loses to Shoespike is transformed into a trophy as shown when he turns two Basherbots into trophies. Assuming a human form dubbed Bob Shoespike, he places a spell of competitiveness on Brody and Levi so that they will race him without question and be too busy fighting each other to cooperate. Calvin, not present during his initial attack as he was out helping Ace fix his car and so spared from the spell, is able to take charge, get them to come together, and beat him in a three-legged race, restoring the other Rangers and townspeople trapped in trophy form. When the Rangers morph into battle, they manage to beat him with the Red Ranger's Steel Slash Final Attack and the Gold Ranger's Ninja Lighting Final Attack. After being gigantified, Shoespike's speed makes him a formidable opponent, causing a lot of trouble for the separate Zords but is assaulted by the Nitro Zord's Spike Launch and thus crippled. In the end, Shoespike is no match for the Ninja Fusion Zord and is defeated by the Ninja Fusion Master Slash Final Attack.
Personality[]
Shoespike was shown to be very competitive, arrogant, and always wanted to win. He also liked to cheat in competitions in order to win as shown during the three-legged race, he used two Basherbot dummies as his helpers and set traps so the Rangers wouldn't win.
