 This article is about a foot soldiers in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.
|
The Stingwingers were the insectoid army of Scorpius and later Trakeena.
History
Similar to past foot soldiers, the Stingwingers provide little challenge in a one-on-one battle against a Ranger and appear to lack any great intelligence. Their strength lies in sheer numbers and overwhelming force. Their appearances vary depending on the situation. Some merely have talons for hands, while others appear to have hands similar to those of the typical humanoid monster, with the ability to summon stingers for combat. 
TV STORY-Rookie in Red All of them, however, have the ability to fly (their wings akin to those of the common house fly) and fire energy blasts from their eyes.
A Stingwinger nest
It's later implied by Scorpius that the present form of the Stingwingers is not their original, suggesting that they may have gone through a metamorphosis in a Cocoon. In the finale of the season, Trakeena (under Deviot's influence) had bombs attached to them in a kamikaze-related plot to kill the citizens of Terra Venture and the Galaxy Rangers as an act of vengeance for her father and herself. Armed with bombs, the Stingwingers posed a much greater threat, both alone and in large numbers, to the Rangers and the colonists themselves. The Centaurus and Stratoforce Megazords were destroyed by the Stingwingers in an attempt to keep their forces out of the marooned colony. The Stingwingers were eventually all destroyed by Trakeena's plan, because of Deviot's influence, leaving her without an army to command.

Power Rangers: Super Legends
Stingwingers are among the henchmen that appear in Power Rangers: Super Legends.
In the DS version, Stingwingers fly above the player, and will regularly drop bombs when overhead. However, they are by far the easiest henchmen to defeat, as even a single shot from the player's sidearm blaster can kill them.
Power Rangers Roleplaying Game
Stingwingers appear in the Power Rangers Roleplaying Game as a Threat in the "Across the Stars" expansion.See Also
