Smashstone was a rock troll-themed Sporix Beast and the sixth Sporix Beast to awaken in Power Rangers Dino Fury. He served as the main antagonist of the Season 1 episode in Dino Fury's "Superstition Strikes".
History[]
Past[]
Over 65 million years ago, Smashstone and the other Sporix Beasts invaded Rafkon, the home planet of Zayto. Though he and his fellow Knights of Rafkon fought hard, the Sporix ravaged Rafkon and removed all traces of life from the planet. The Sporix then turned their attention to Earth but Zayto and the remaining Knights had managed to escape Rafkon and tracked the Sporix Beasts to Earth where they engaged them in battle with the help of the dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. The Morphin Masters arrived and bestowed the Morphin Grid's powers to Zayto and his followers, as the first Dino Fury Power Rangers, which gave them the advantage they need to defeat the Sporix Beasts and seal them inside of their eggs.
Dino Fury[]
When the other Sporix are accidentally released in the modern day during Void Knight's invasion of Dinohenge, Smashstone's egg is amongst the Sporix that escape.

Birth of Smashstone
Smashstone later hatches at the Pine Ridge Park and is immediately confronted by Amelia. However, Smashstone's rock lasers prove to be too much for Amelia to handle and she is forcibly demorphed after a direct hit which damages her Dino Fury Morpher beyond repair. The rest of the Rangers arrive to help but, when Smashstone fires at an unmorphed Amelia, she blocks the attack with a trash can lid only for it to be redirected at the Rangers and knock out Izzy and Javi. Zayto and Ollie fight against Smashstone with the former attacking with a T-Rex Fury Strike but he absorbs the attack and redirects it at him. At the same time, Mucus steals Amelia's damaged Morpher and convinces Smashstone to retreat back to Area 62 for a new plan. At Area 62, Void Knight commands Smashstone to launch an attack to keep the Rangers focused on him to lure them away from their base so that Boomtower can teleport into Stonehenge without any interference from the Rangers to steal the Sporix. Smashstone compliments Void Knight, calling him a genius and says that he'll rock and sock the Rangers.
Smashstone is later seen attacking an industrial site, following Void Knight's plan to distract the Rangers whilst Boomtower infiltrates Dinohenge. The Rangers confront him but his continual use of his lasers makes it difficult for them to get to him up close. The fight takes a turn when Amelia, who has stayed behind at the chamber for her newly built Morpher, teleports Boomtower to the area, foiling their plans. Despite that, Smashstone grows giant sized in a fit of rage and soon fights against the T-Rex Champion Zord Battle Mode, absorbing its attack and firing it right back at it. The Rangers reconfigure to the Dino Fury Megazord Hammer Formation but Smashstone's rock-like skin still made their strikes ineffective. Then, through sheer luck, Amelia sets off a chain of events that leads to debris clogging up his volcano arms, preventing him from firing against the Rangers. He is then defeated by the Mega Hammer Slam and reverted back to his Sporix Cell form. Izzy uses the Elasto Dino Key to claim it before Boomtower has a chance to get it. TV STORY-Superstition Strikes
Later on, Smashstone's Sporix alongside Vypeera, Draknarok, the one Boomtower took, and Roostafa are seen in the containment unit when Slyther tries to steal them. He ultimately fails and all the Rangers' collected Sporix Egg remain in Dinohenge. TV STORY-Phoning Home
Even though he is not seen again, Smashstone participates at the invasion of the Sporix during the final battle against the Rangers and the Rafkonians. He is defeated off-screen by the Rafkonians, his Sporix Egg was used by Void Queen to create the Chimera-Themed Sporix Beast, Nemesis Beast and after the Rangers' victory over that, he is imprisoned forever by Master Red, Blue and Green in a crystal.
Personality[]
Smashstone seemed to be a gruff speaking monster who spoke in a Russian accent. He was an arrogant brute who liked to take on the Rangers with his abilities and believed he could easily defeat them. He did seem to have a sense of humor however and enjoyed making jokes, such as telling some workers he could take a mint to get rid of his breath or asking why people were running away from him like he's some kind of monster.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Rock Body: Smashstone's body is made entirely out of rock, making him extremely durable.
- Energy Lasers: Smashstone could fire light red colored energy lasers but where he fires them is unknown.
- Teleportation: Smashstone could teleport to any location in a vertical column of purple energy.
- Enlarging: Smashstone could enlarge himself at will with the energy he gained in battle over time.
Abilities[]
- Reflexes: Despite Smashstone's design, he has very quick reflexes, being able to swiftly dodge the Pink Ranger's strikes and the Dino Fury Megazord Hammer Formation's hammer swings without much effort.
Weaknesses[]
- Blockage: When the holes on his arms were clogged up, Smashstone was unable to absorb and reflect his opponents' attacks.
Arsenal[]
- Volcano Arms: Smashstone had miniature volcanos on each arm which he could use as shields or gauntlets in combat.
- Rock Energy Lasers: Smashstone could shoot out red rock-shaped energy lasers from his volcano arms.
- Heat Rays: Smashstone could also fire red colored heat rays from his volcano arms.
- Rock Energy Balls: Smashstone could also fire red or pink rock-shaped energy balls from his volcano arms as well. This attack was his strongest as it can clear a wide area and was able to take out the Red, Blue, Green, and Black Rangers in one hit.
- Power Absorption and Redirection: Smashstone could absorb any of his opponents' powers into his volcano arms and send them back in either a light orange or purple blast-like effect. This attack is powerful enough to push pack the T-Rex Champion Zord in one hit.
Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Smashstone was voiced by Barry Duffield, who voiced Cycletron two years earlier.
Design[]
- Smashstone was based on the Troll, a mythical cave-dwelling being depicted in folklore as either a giant or a dwarf, typically having a very ugly appearance.
Etymology[]
- His name is a portmanteau of "smash" and "stone".
Notes[]
- Smashstone was used to rectify a mistake in Ryusoulger where the Dino Fury Megazord Hammer Formation did not debut until after Boomtower's Sentai counterpart was defeated.
- Boomtower was defeated by the Megazord combining all the Zords' powers and formations using the team's primary Zords.
- The debut of KishiRyuOh Five Knights (Dino Fury Megazord Warrior Formation's Ryusoulger counterpart) showed KishiRyuOh Triken and KishiRyuOh Ankyloze as being pre-established before properly debuting a few episodes later in the formation's finisher.
- Dino Fury needed to showcase the Megazord's Warrior Formation with its Hammer Formation, Claw Formation, Blade Formation, and Spike Formation to make the finisher look believable.
