Shoveltron is an excavator/shovel-themed Robotron created by Roxy from an excavator in Power Rangers Beast Morphers. He appears as the main villain in the episode "Digital Deception".
History
Shoveltron was created by Avatar Roxy when she infected an excavator. He was tasked to assist Roxy in her plan to manipulate Ravi into thinking she is still good so she can obtain the Neural Aligner. During the battle against Ravi, Roxy threw some objects causing him to fall. Roxy then started her plan by pretending to protect Ravi and called Shoveltron back. He was later seen holding Ravi in his grasp while Roxy attempted to use the stolen Neural Aligner to create an evil avatar of Ravi. But Roxy's plan had failed after Zoey and Devon came to his aid. Then, Scrozzle tells Roxy to come back to the Cyber Dimension with the Neural Aligner saying that it will be useful to him. In the meantime, Shoveltron summoned some Tronics and attacked the Rangers, overpowering them with little effort due to his incredible strength and armor. Later on, Scrozzle used Shoveltron's data and a Beta Model Gigadrone to create Shoveldrone. Finally, Shoveltron was destroyed by Zoey and Ravi with their Beast-X Cannons while the Shoveldrone was destroyed by the Racer Zord Battle Mode. TV STORY-Digital Deception
Personality
Shoveltron is a rough and powerful Robotron that takes delight in smashing and destroying things. He is also somewhat prideful, taking offense when Zoey says that he isn't a challenge without his Tronics and insisting that he is "plenty tough."
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Finger Lasers: Shoveltron can fire red colored energy lasers from his fingers. These lasers are very powerful and can be fired in a barrage-like blast, or in rapid succession like a machine gun.
- Energy Blasts: Shoveltron can also fire energy blasts from his hand.
- Tronics Summoning: Shoveltron can summon a group of Tronics to aid him in battle.
Abilities
- Super Strength: Shoveltron is a very strong monster with strength sufficient enough to send Ravi flying with one swing of his shovel arm and catch Zoey's Beast-X Saber in his other normal hand. He is one of the strongest and most powerful Robotrons throughout the series.
- Expert Hand-To-Hand Combatant: Despite being one of the earlier monsters in Power Rangers Beast Morphers, Shoveltron is shown to be an expert hand-to-combatant, being able to block and counter both the Yellow and Blue Rangers' attacks with ease.
- Durability/Armor: Shoveltron has very thick armor that was able to take multiple slashes from Ravi and Zoey's Beast-X Sabers without getting a scratch. Even being shot at point blank range by Ravi's Beast-X Blaster left him completely unfazed.
Weaknesses
to be added
Arsenal
- Right Shovel Arm: Shoveltron's right arm is a shovel which can be used to whack enemies or deflect attacks. A strike to his shovel arm had no effect and it being stamped down by Zoey was even less effective.
- Energy Empowerment: Shoveltron can power up his shovel arm with red-orange energy for an increase in power.

Notes
- He is the first Robotron to be created by Roxy.
- Shoveltron's Gigadrone counterpart, Shoveldrone is the first Gigadrone to be created and arrive before the Robotron is destroyed.
- Unlike his counterpart, Shoveltron did not have his eyes blasted to pieces by Devon in a short sequence that was removed since Hiromu, Devon's counterpart, was unmorphed.
- This unmorphed shot and his absence from the rest of the fight is also why they had to have Devon fight Tronics instead which was entirely American footage.
- Unlike his Sentai counterpart, Shoveltron is created from an excavator instead of a power shovel.
- Shoveltron is the first Robotron to survive his first battle with the Rangers.
