'''Spidertron''' is the single spider monster created by [[Finster]]. He serves as the main antagonist of the episode "[[Itsy Bitsy Spider]]".
A spider monster created by [[Finster]]. After a brief battle, with the Rangers badly losing, he grows to giant size. Initially they formed the Megazord, and although they were able to hold him off for a bit with the Megazord, but after making him lose his balance, they were under an intense attack and had to seperate into individual zords. The Rangers battled the monsters with their individual Dinozords, but he proved to be too much for the individual zords to handle, most notably shaking off the Mastodon freeze spray, using the Tyranosaurus's flying jump kick attack against it, and trapping the Dragonzord in an exploding web. The Mastodon, Triceratops, and Saber-Toothed Tiger Zords then combined with the Dragonzord for the first time (against an opponent) to form the [[Dragonzord Battle Mode]] (with the Tyrannosaurus assisting it; Pterodactyl appeared to be missing), and promptly obliterated it with the spinning, glowing Power Staff, perforating a hole in its midsection and causing it to fall and explode. Initially there was a scene of it coming out the other end, but this was later removed due to the violence and is no longer broadcast in reruns.
