Spidertron is the spider monster, created by Finster. He serves as the main antagonist of the episode "Itsy Bitsy Spider".
Biography
Spidertron was created by Finster. Rita hid Spidertron on Earth inside the statue of the Forest's Spirit in the park. Monster was putting an sleep spell on everyone who came to it. When Zack with his students came there to study karate, they all, except Zack, fell under his spell. Then Spidertron went out and it was revealed that Zack panically fears insects, especially spiders. However Black Ranger overpowered his fear and helped his friends to defeat monster on ground with Power Axe and then Rita enlarged Spidertron. In the giant size, Spidertron could fire energy web and multicolored lighntings. The Rangers formed Dino Megazord and were able to fight him, but after intense attack they were separated on many individual Zords. The Monster managed to reflect Mastodon Dinozord Freeze Spray and Tyrannosaurus Dinozord jump kick attack. He even trapped Dragonzord in his web. However, Mastodon, Saber-Toothed Tiger Dinozord, Triceratops Dinozord combined for the first time with Dragonzord, forming Dragonzord Battle Mode (Tyrannosaurus was assisting and Pterodactyl Dinozord seemed missing). They finally destroyed the monster with spinning, glowing Power Staff, perforating a hole in his midsection, causing him to fall and explode.
Personality
Spidertron was cunning, sneaky and unpredictable monster, like many other monsters of Rita. He also doesn't talk, only speaks in whizzing. He was shown to be quite skilled and capable fighter, as he managed to divide Dino Megazord on many individual Zords. He possessed great affection on Zack, due to Black Ranger's phobia of insects, but the hero eventually defeated his fear.
