History
This scoop themed Attack Bot was created by Shifter and Crunch by orders of Venjix. His main ability was to dig very fast under the ground. He also could throw large piles of ground on his enemies and he possessed scoops on his arms as weapons. Shifter and Crunch demonstrated their creation to their master, who was pleased. Shifter and Crunch sent him to dig under the ground to Corinth, under the Defense Shields of the city and then attack.
He was successful. He managed to enter the city but once Dillon and Ziggy learned about him, they attacked the exact spot on the ground and forced him out.
The Subterranean Plutonic Gopher Bot attacked the two Power Rangers, but the other Rangers quickly arrived to help their friends. They gave some hits to the villain, but before they could destroy him, he buried Scott, Summer and Flynn and escaped.
Dillon and Ziggy went after him and caught up to him in the city. They fought him with their weapons, and managed to take him down with their Turbo Plasma Launcher.
Venjix brought the Subterranean Plutonic Gopher Bot back online and made him grow huge. Scott, Flynn and Summer arrived, activated their Zords, and formed the High Octane Megazord. The two battled it out, with the Megazord having the advantage. The Rangers were able to destroy the Bot with the Super Saber Slash. TV STORY-Go for the Green
