Overview[]

History[]
Scrozzle teleports Shoveldrone to Coral Harbor in order to steal Morph-X from a Morph-X Tower Network whilst the Beast Morphers Rangers are still fighting Shoveltron. With Ravi and Zoey busy fighting Shoveltron, Devon deploys alone with Cruise in the Racer Zord after destroying some Tronics and wounds the Gigadrone with the Zord's Rapid Blast before changing it into Battle Mode. It proves to be a perfect match for Shoveldrone, knocking it back with a massive punch to the head but the Gigadrone unleashes a swarm of missiles that the Racer Zord's Rocket Storm are unable stop since they have no effect on the Gigadrone. Devon has the idea to change the Racer Zord into its Cheetah Mode which is able to dodge the missiles and stun the Gigadrone with its Beast Bite before finishing it off with the Cheetah Strike. Ironically, both Shoveldrone and Shoveltron are killed at the same time, the latter being killed by Ravi and Zoey's Beast=X Blasters with both faceplanting and exploding simultaneously.

Notes[]
- Despite being the third Gigadrone sent overall, Shoveldrone was the first in Go-Busters with Cycledrone appearing later in the series.
- This was changed for Power Rangers since they used the pilot episode to build the plot rather than focus on a monster.
- Shoveldrone is the first Gigadrone to face the Racer Zord Cheetah Mode.
- Shoveldrone was the first Gigadrone to be created and arrive before the Robotron is destroyed, rather than being summoned after the Robotron is destroyed.
