The birdcage being infected to create him

Trappertron is a cage-themed Robotron in Power Rangers Beast Morphers season 2. He appears as the primary antagonist of the episode Save Our Shores.

History

Scrozzle created Trappertron by infecting a bird cage with the Evox virus. Scrozzle then sent Trappertron to Earth, where he ambushed Zoey, Blaze and Roxy outside of the Collins Institute. He first trapped Blaze and Roxy in a cage, then blasted Zoey to the ground. The other Rangers arrived before he could finish her off, with Steel wiping him out with a blast from his Striker Morpher. While Nate tried to free Blaze and Roxy from the cage, the others morphed and battled Trappertron, who summoned a squad of Tronics to aid him. After the Tronics were defeated, Trappertron fled the scene. While Ravi went to help Nate free Blaze and Roxy, Devon, Zoey, and Steel chased Trappertron. Trappertron tried to imprison the three Rangers in another cage, but they used their Beast-X Sabers to destroy it. He summoned more cage walls, but the Rangers easily destroyed them as well. Finally, Devon destroyed Trappertron with a single powerful slash from his Saber.

Although Trappertron failed to defeat the Rangers, he distracted them long enough for Scrozzle to scan Blaze and Roxy's DNA. Scrozzle used this data to revive Cybervillain Blaze and Cybervillain Roxy as robots. TV STORY-Save Our Shores

Notes

• Trappertron's final words before his destruction "No! I'm going away for good!" were also used by Slammer in Power Rangers Dino Charge.
  • Ironically, both Slammer and Trappertron are very similar, seeing as:
    • Both monsters are cage-themed.
    • Both have the ability to capture people in cages.
    • Both monsters have a projectile-type attack that is launched out of their hands and is also colored blue (Slammer: Lightning Beams, Trappertron: Energy Blasts).
• His voice sound a lot like Serrator's voice.
• Trappertron is the second monster in Power Rangers Beast Morphers to be a minor antagonist, rather then be the main antagonist of the episode, the first being Turbotron.
• In Go-Busters, Trappertron was originally killed by Zoey's Beast-X Cannon and Devon's Beast-X Saber. The reason that this was removed is probably because of how violent it would look.
  • However, in the shot where Devon streaks towards the Robotron, Zoey can be seen summoning her Beast-X Blaster for some reason.
