"Good mornin'. (...) Allow me to introduce myself. Wolfgang Amadeus Griller; conductor, musician, and monster extraordinaire. No doubt you’ve heard of me."

―Wolfgang Amadeus Griller's first words upon showing up in the Subcraft^[src]

"Yes! My greatest symphony ever will soon fill the skies. A symphony of horsepower that will bring the Turbo Rangers to their knees! Arise all vehicles. Spin for my fiendish tune. Spread your chaos everywhere!"

―Wolfgang Amadeus Griller when attacking Angel Grove.

"I don't need no stinking permits."

―Griller after being informed that him playing his music was a violation of Code 41028 by the Blue Senturion and his final words before his destruction.^[src]

Wolfgang Amadeus Griller was a musical zombie/loudspeaker monster who served as the main antagonist of the episode "Cars Attacks".

History

Griller uses his conducting stick to control cars and make them fly everywhere and presents himself like a salesman. Despite being an apparently famous musician, he decides to affiliate with Divatox and her crew.

Griller arrives on the Subcraft shortly after her latest detonator plot is foiled and introduces himself only to be irritated when Elgar mistakes him for Harley Poe. He offers his services and Divatox gladly accepts, sending him to Angel Grove to destroy the Turbo Rangers with his special abilities.

He assaults the planet and causes havoc in the city by bringing the cars to life using his music and assaulting the city. When the Rangers arrive, he takes them down and pins them under cars but they summon the Turbo R.A.M. and blast Griller.

Although this causes the magical cars to disappear, Griller survives so Divatox orders the firing of the torpedoes but Rygog and Elgar are polishing them.

Enraged, she sends them down to help the monster with Piranhatrons but the Blue Senturion arrives when the villains get the upper-hand. He confronts Griller with the fact that he is violating Code #41028; playing loud music but the monster refuses so they destroy him with the combination of Tommy's Auto Blaster and the Senturion Synergizer. Their combined blasts are too much for Wolfgang Amadeus Griller who falls flat on his back and explodes. TV STORY-Cars Attacks
