Slammer is a prison-themed monster sent by Sledge in Power Rangers Dino Charge. He serves as the main antagonist of the episode "Return of the Caveman" and a supporting antagonist in all his later appearances.
History[]
Slammer made a cameo in a prison cell. TV STORY-Powers From the Past
Slammer has the ability to use his cages to trap and teleport his victims to a faraway sea cave. Rather forcefully sent down to Earth by the ruthless Sledge, Slammer uses this ability to capture Chase, Koda, and a young boy named Peter, drawing the other Rangers to him when he commences his next attack while blocking any signal of distress from his captives.
However, he is outsmarted by Koda and defeated by the Rangers while riding their Dino Cycles at his normal size and then by Dino Charge Megazord's Stego-Raptor Formation once he was enlarged by the Magna Beam. TV STORY-Return of the Caveman
Slammer was among the monsters revived by Wrench as part of Doomwing's plot to divert the Rangers while going after Zenowing again. Due to the revival process being sped up, Slammer was rendered unable to speak. He and the other monsters were destroyed by the Power Rangers. TV STORY-Wings of Danger
Personality[]
Slammer's attitude was like that of a prison guard, based on his appearance of a prison. Overall, his persona is similar to that of the Spikeballs, the motley prison guards that patrol the cell blocks of Sledge's ship and monitor the outlaws the intergalactic bounty hunter has captured during his career and that now make up his army.
