History[]
Sent to steal Morph-X by attacking the Morph-X Tower Network, Slicerdrone was intercepted by the Racer Zord. Slicerdrone used its shield to block the Racer Zord's attacks and then counterattacked, temporarily disabling Devon's Zord. The Gigadrone then successfully cut into a tower and started to absorb Morph-X. Jax and Smash arrived in their Zords, but the Gigadrone blocked their attacks as well.
As soon as the Racer Zord finished rebooting, Devon energized the sword and threw it at Slicerdrone. A final shove from the Racer Zord forced the sword through the shield and disabled the Gigadrone just as its saw blade cut into the Zord's chest. The deactivated Gigadrone soon collapsed, its weapon falling off soon after. Coincidentally, Grid Battleforce had been collecting Gigadrone wreckage to extract some useful data, and the still-intact Slicerdrone was helicoptered by the Chopper Zord to a hangar provided by General Burke, where Nate eagerly began examining the data.

Not willing to let the Rangers extract data from it, Evox sent the avatars to retrieve it. Slicerdrone was rebooted and freed by Roxy and Scrozzle's new Robotron, Meltatron. The Gigadrone then attempted to kill Ravi and Zoey, who were trapped in the hangar in spite of killing Meltatron, but the two escaped when Devon used Meltadrone's own acid to destroy the hangar door shortly before a barrage of Slicerdrone's missiles levelled the hangar. Slicerdrone emerged from the hangar as well, blasting the Zords with its missiles alongside Meltadrone's acid spray. However, it had very little effect and the Rangers then formed the Beast-X Megazord for the first time. They blocked the acid and missiles with an energy shield, with the attacks being stopped by one of Slicerdrone's missiles when it was deflected back, and then trapped them into an energy cage. Devon summoned his Cheetah Beast Blaster and Slicerdrone was destroyed for good by the Beast-X Hyper Strike along with its fellow Gigadrone. TV STORY-Hangar Heist
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Shield Projection: Slicerdrone can project a pale orange shield to block its enemies' attacks. It easily blocked the Racer Zord's sword as well as the firepower of all the Zords. However, it was also shown that it can fire through the shield without compromising it. Considering the fact that Slicerdrone did not use this in the second battle, it may have lost this mechanism apparently when it was struck in the head by the Racer Zord's blade.
- Energy Deflection: The Slicerdrone can also deflect energy-based attacks with the shield as well.
- Morph-X Absorption: Slicerdrone can absorb Morph-X through its eye.
- Missile Generation: Slicerdrone can fire missiles from a slot on the underside of its left hand. This was a devastating attack, disabling the Racer Zord's systems and forcing a complete reboot as well as being able to keep all three of the Zords away until Devon came up with the idea to render it useless. When its saw arm was removed, it could shoot its missiles out of its right hand as well.
Abilities[]
- Strength: Despite being the first Gamma Model Gigadrone to appear in the series, Slicerdrone is shown to be very powerful, being able to overpower three Zords with ease.
- Extraordinary Leaper: Slicerdrone was able to leap out of the considerably deep hangar it was being kept in without trouble.

Arsenal[]
- Right Saw Arm: Just like Slicertron, Slicerdrone has a saw for a right arm which can cut through solid objects or to attack its enemies. It was sharp enough to quickly and efficiently cleave through a Morph-X Tower.

Notes[]
- Slicerdrone is the first Gamma Model used in Beast Morphers and one of only four in the first season.
- Slicerdrone was the first Gigadrone to be completely silent aside from the whirring of its saw. Beginning with Antennadrone, this would become the standard.
- Both the designs for the Beast-X Megazord and the Gigadrone scanners were created as a result of the data gathered from Slicerdrone.
- In Go-Busters, the moment where the saw arm gets stuck into the Racer Zord was significantly more important since it was CutterZord trying to kill Hiromu by drilling into his cockpit. In fact, there were a lot of cockpit shots showing this that were cut.
- The reason that these were cut is unclear but may have been because of the implication that it was trying to kill him.
- Additionally, there were some shots surrounding it that were also cut since it showed the Racer Zord's sword sticking out of the Gigadrone's head. As it is, in the shot where the Zord collapses, you can still temporarily see it sticking out of the Gigadrone's face although the shot was cut down substantially to try and disguise that fact.
- The reason that these were cut is unclear but may have been because of the implication that it was trying to kill him.
- Slicerdrone is the first and only Gigadrone to appear in two episodes.
