Wreckmate was a robotic rook/submarine/pirate-themed general in Power Rangers Dino Fury, Void Knight's fourth general, and one of the secondary antagonists of the show. In season 1, Wreckmate first makes his appearance in the second/final episode of the two-part Gold Ranger Saga "Ancient History" as the primary antagonist, but in season 2 and starting in the episode "The Festival", he serves as one of the secondary antagonists.
History[]
Wreckmate is created by Slyther and Mucus from parts of a boat they stole to act as the destroyer of the Mosa Razor Zord before being given a Sporix by Void Knight to become a giant. He would then be confronted by the Dino Fury Rangers before turning giant. Wreckmate managed to defeat the Dino Fury Megazord Warrior Formation in an underwater battle. However, before he can fully obliterate the Megazord, he was stopped by the Mosa Razor Zord. Zayto and Aiyon would then command the Mosa Razor Zord Battle Mode to battle the new general which successfully destroys him with the Harpoon Strike. 
TV STORY-Ancient History
Wreckmate competes against Slyther.
However, it is later revealed that Wreckmate actually survived and had merely been shrunk back down to human size where he reportedly wrestled a squid to survive. He returns to Area 62 in a mangle of seaweed which Slyther and Mucus mistake for a Sporix Beast before shedding it off. Although surprised at his creation’s return, Slyther is disgusted by his sea shanty and tells him to leave which leads to an argument and nearly a fight. Before they can brawl, Void Knight insists that they fight the Power Rangers and they agree to a contest where whoever kills the least Rangers has to leave forever. Slyther unveils a potion that will supercharge the drinker’s abilities for several minutes but Wreckmate snatches and drinks it instead before throwing Slyther across the room. Recovering, the two of them teleport away to attack the Rangers with Mucus helping.
Upon arriving, they split up with Wreckmate going to the downtown over-bridge so the Rangers split-up with Ollie, Zayto and Amelia going to fight Wreckmate. However, Wreckmate drinks more potion and overwhelms them to the point of even pinning Amelia underfoot until Zayto retreats with an idea. Utterly defeating Ollie and Amelia, he prepares to finish them off with strong energy blasts when Zayto returns with the Dinochucks which are able to overwhelm Wreckmate but earlier damage caused by Aiyon causes them to malfunction and explode, sending both groups flying. As Wreckmate recovers, the Rangers retreat due to being injured so the general goes to help Mucus and completely defeats Aiyon, Izzy, and Javi who then retreat. Slyther then emerges to bicker with Wreckmate before they both withdraw.
Later, Aiyon confronts Wreckmate in a warehouse so the latter drinks his strength potion and the former morphs before using the Electro Dino Key to power up. Using it, he manages to repeatedly overwhelm Wreckmate, despite him deflecting most blasts and takes him down in hand to hand combat. However, Wreckmate takes him down with a point-blank energy blast though he then runs out of power and finds that he has run out of strength potion. Although he is able to restrain Aiyon with an anchor, Wreckmate is surprised and repeatedly shot by the Dino Fury Cycle's Plasma Blast so he retreats. TV STORY-The Festival
Wreckmate is later repaired and re-energized but, though he is eager to get back to work, Occulo arrives and is paired up with Wreckmate to slay the Power Rangers. Though the Sporix is recruited, Wreckmate wonders how they will stop the Rangers from interfering so Slyther reveals a memory erasing amulet. TV STORY-Missing Pieces
Occulo later presents the last Sporix but it still isn't enough. Frustrated at the repeated failures, Void Knight decides to kill Occulo and take his Sporix to fill the machine. However, the panicked creature tells Void Knight of the new Baby Pacha Zord which could be used to blackmail the Rangers for their Sporix supply so Wreckmate is assigned to help him. They later capture the Zord when Aiyon lets it off its leash but they argue long enough for the Rangers to arrive who demand the Zord so Wreckmate presents Void Knight's terms but they refuse and morph. Wreckmate stays behind to guard the Zord as Occulo attacks but they attack him as well and the Zord escapes so he pursues only to be cut off by Zayto.
Wreckmate and Occulo later enter the city only to find four Rangers (sans Aiyon and Ollie who are looking for the Zord) waiting for them. The Rangers are overpowered and chained up but Aiyon and Ollie appear and cut them down so Occulo enlarges and Wreckmate fights Ollie. Ollie is overpowered until he uses the new Smash Key to activate the Smash Battle Armor which is too strong even for Wreckmate's energy blasts and he is upper-cutted high into the air so retreats. TV STORY-Tiny Trouble
Wreckmate is present when Slyther and Mucus try to listen what's happening in the secret chamber of Void Knight. He asks to Slyther if he listens anything, but he answers nothing and Wreckmate asks how to function the machine for the Sporix. Then Mucus releases accidentally Junkalo, and Void Knight sees his power: eating wastes to transform them into scrap, which he wants to use to create his Zord Jammer. Later, Wreckmate warns Junkalo that he risks to regret having eaten Mucus. TV STORY-Stitched Up
Wreckmate, Slyther, and Mucus finish the Zord Jammer to prevent the Rangers from using their zords and received the help of Doomsnake, but learning that the Rangers would go for the Ptera Freeze Zord, Wreckmate and the entire team beamed up to prevent the Rangers from activating it, but Wreckmate was humiliated by Aiyon, causing the army to flee, and they discovered that Void Knight's machine was turned on. TV STORY-Jam Session
Wreckmate is present with Slyther and Mucus when Void Queen releases Squashblight. He is seen again when Void Queen takes the command of the Void Family and suggests poisoning water reserves of Pine Ridge. He accompanies Squashblight to the river and fights the Rangers with the Hengemen. He takes his revenge on Aiyon and defeats Izzy and Javi. Wreckmate sends Squashblight to weak the remaining rangers and tells him to launch plan B, which the monster responds to by teleporting, while he prepares to finish the Rangers. At the moment where he is about to kill them, Void Knight appears, surprising him and given to Aiyon enough of time to blast the pirate general. When Void Knight reveals to the Rangers the weakness of Squashblight, Wreckmate is furious of his treachery and swears to say it to Void Queen and retreats. TV STORY-New Leaf
While Slyther and Mucus join Trackenslash to chase Void Knight, Wreckmate works with the Hengemen on a new project for Void Queen. TV STORY-Serious Business
Under the orders of Void Queen, Wreckmate, Slyther and Mucus activated the new general Snageye to destroy the Rangers, before discovering the presence of the traitorous Void Knight, so he attempted to attack him with his shoulder cannons. TV STORY-The Hunt
Wreckmate returns with Slyther to the Area 62 without Void Knight, (ignoring that their queen has already caught him). Void Queen tells them to forget him and releases Flapnarok to destroy the Rangers, but she was defeated by the Primal Ultrazord. TV STORY-Losers Weepers
When Mucus was performing a musical for the Songathon with the Hengemen, Wreckmate and Slyther chose to interrupt her, with the pirate general firing his cannons at her to blow her up. TV STORY-The Copycat
Wreckmate is seen fleeing with Slyther and Mucus when Lord Zedd returns in the Area 62 with his new generals : Sizzurai and Scrozzle. He is seen with the others villains when Zedd explains his plan and when Void King gives to Scrozzle the data of his fallen generals which Scrozzle uses to build new robots. TV STORY-Love Hate
Wreckmate joins Void Queen and Void King when they recuperate Hexcurio before the Rangers (Aiyon and Zayto) have a chance to defeat him. They teleport, leaving Wreckmate to fight the two rangers. He defeats them easily, including a transformed Izzy when she tried to help her friends. Wreckmate is about to destroy the three rangers when Solon, called by young Amelia, drives the Dino Fury Cycle and blasts the pirate general, forcing him to retreat. In the Area 62, Wreckmate is mocked by his comrades, trying to justify his defeat by saying he did not know a dinosaur could be drive a moto. Slyther proposes a plan to destroy the Rangers. Hexcurio wants to join him but he says that Void Queen will never accept. Mucus discovers that if Hexcurio is destroyed by the Rangers, she'll regain her natural form and persuades Slyther to give him a chance and the two villains teleport. Mucus is happy and Wreckmate asks her what she is happy for. She replies by saying nothing and goes happy, leaving the pirate general suspicious. After Hexcurio's defeat, Mucus becomes again a mushroom and recuperates his Sporix to avoid punishment and teleports. TV STORY-Wishful Thinking
Wreckmate is present at the reunion of Void Family with Slyther, Mucus and Nulleye when Void King decides to launch their master plan. Mucus sings it: the disappearance of all humans of Pine Ridge and the Paradise for the Sporix. Wreckmate replies that risks to be if Mucus is part of it and Slyther laughs. Void Queen chooses to launch another attack for the Rangers to stay far from them. While the Rangers fight Sugarhit, Wreckmate joins Void King and Slyther but their leader fails to start the drill. They start to mock him and Void King lashes out at them and furiously returns to Area 62 with them. TV STORY-Guilt Trip
Wreckmate is sent with the Hengemen at the waterfront to attract the Rangers. Zayto activates the Dino Knight Armor to deal with Wreckmate and attacks with a Dino Knight Strike. The attack strikes Wreckmate, who survives and flies down to the ground, and the Garcia siblings charge at him. Suddenly, Nulleye appears and shoots the siblings with the Sporix Blaster, knocking them off their feet. Nulleye fires at the rest of the Rangers but he misses them and Aiyon destroys the blaster with his Mosa Blaster. Wreckmate berates Nulleye for failing to strike all the Rangers, and the two leave. TV STORY-Bad Vibes
Wreckmate is present at the Area 62 with Slyther, Mucus and Void King when Void Queen starts her master plan and unleashes all Sporix in Pine Ridge. Wreckmate takes as his crew Roostafa, Stone-Rad and Crashflood to fight the Rangers and the Rafkonians. He fights Orria briefly before helping Crashflood. He defeats Amelia, Izzy, Ollie and Javi. He prepares to finish the four Rangers with Crashflood, when Mucus appears to tell them that Void Queen has a special mission for them and the three teleport, leaving Roostafa, who was defeated by Orria and Stone-Rad defeated by Zayto and Aiyon. At the dam, Void Queen arrives with Tidemare and Fogshell while Wreckmate, Crashflood, and Mucus wait for them. Void Queen orders Crashflood to destroy the dam so that a billion gallons of water may flood the city. Wreckmate and his group go to the dam but the Rangers and the Rafkonians intercept them.

Zayto activates Dino Knight Mode, and the Rafkonian Rangers combine their powers to defeat Crashflood and save the dam. TV STORY-The Invasion
Wreckmate is seen a last time as a giant, growing offscreen with a Sporix. He first fights the Ptera Smash Ultrazord and the Mosa Razor Zord Battle Mode before the Rangers combine them to form the Primal Ultrazord. Wreckmate is finally destroyed for good by the Primal Ultrazord but his Sporix returns to the Earth to enter the Cocoon. TV STORY-The Truth
Personality[]
Wreckmate acted like a pirate as, when he was first activated, he asked who ran the ship and used pirate jargon typically. He could be quite violent and vengeful as when he obliterated Mucus into slime with his shockwave for annoying him and kept up his cannon attacks on the Megazord. When Wreckmate returned from his believed destruction, he showed he was a tough fighter taking on the Rangers in these encounters and was much more deadly than Mucus or Slyther. Despite his pirate jargon, Wreckmate is much more serious than his fellow generals, not joking around as much and taking his job seriously while being much more threatening and intelligent than Boomtower. Unlike Mucus or Slyther, Wreckmate seemed much more quick to switch allegiance to Santaura after she usurped Tarrick. Later on when Tarrick tried to help the Rangers out, he quickly branded his former boss a traitor and planned to tell Void Queen on him, showing his disgust for traitors. It's quite possible Wreckmate is most loyal to whoever is in control.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Strength: Wreckmate's strength exceeded the late Boomtower, being able to easily best the Dino Fury Megazord Warrior Formation in combat. According to himself upon his return, he overpowered and killed a giant squid with his bare hands.
- Strength Enhancement: After drinking Slyther's special potion, Wreckmate's strength was enhanced to the point where he can effortlessly throw Slyther smack into a desk and overwhelm the Rangers with no problem.
- Durability: Wreckmate was able to handle Zayto's Blazing Battle Armor and Aiyon's Electro Battle Armor without a scratch. Even the Mosa Razor Zord's Harpoon Strike and his subsequent explosion as well as the Dinochucks exploding over his head failed to dent him.
- Shoulder Cannon Blasts: Wreckmate could fire energy blasts at his foes from the cannons mounted on his shoulders.
- Shoulder Cannon Charge Blasts: A stronger variation of the energy blasts Wreckmate fired from his cannons where he could charge up their barrels with blue concentrated energy to presumably fire large destructive blasts of the same color. He tried to destroy the Rangers' Megazord with this attack but was stopped by the Mosa Razor Zord before he could do so.
- Shoulder Energy Cannonballs: Wreckmate could shoot cannonballs of aqua or turquoise energy from his shoulder cannons.
- Shoulder Cannon Lasers: Wreckmate could also shoot aqua or turquoise energy lasers from his shoulder cannons. They have a high blast range and are powerful enough to take down two Rangers in one hit.
- Shoulder Cannon Torpedoes: Wreckmate could fire torpedoes from his shoulder cannons when underwater.
- Chest Energy Shockwave: Wreckmate could release a turquoise colored energy shockwave from his chest strong enough to decimate Mucus and an ice cream cart with one hit.
- Hengemen Summoning: Wreckmate could summon regular or water-themed Hengemen to fight for him.
- Enlarging: Thanks to the Sporix inside him, Wreckmate could grow into a giant at will.
- Underwater Survivability: Wreckmate was able to survive underwater despite being a robot.
- Submarine Mode: Due to being made from a boat, Wreckmate could open the ports built into his waist armor to reveal a turbine which allowed him to move underwater like a submarine.
- Shockwave Strike: After drinking Slyther's special potion, Wreckmate could punch and kick hard enough to release purple or green shockwaves strong enough to send Ollie and Amelia flying with one hit.
- Teleportation: Wreckmate was able to teleport in a purple energy column.
Abilities[]
- Hand-to-Hand Combat: Wreckmate was skilled in hand-to-hand combat, allowing him to match the Rangers in battle.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Wreckmate was voiced by John Leigh, who previously voiced Octomus the Master in Power Rangers Mystic Force and Keytron in Power Rangers Beast Morphers.
- Wreckmate sounded almost exactly the same as Octomus but with an added pirate lilt similar to Brownbeard, who was also portrayed by Leigh.
- His suit actor via Ryusoulger footage was Hirotsugu Mori (森 博嗣 Mori Hirotsugu).
Design[]
- Wreckmate's design was a cross between a rook chess piece, a submarine, and a naval captain.
Etymology[]
- His name was an amalgamation of the nautical terms "shipwreck" and "shipmate". It was also a pun on "checkmate", fitting his rook motif.
Notes[]
- Wreckmate’s personality differed from his Sentai counterpart who was a dangerous, cunning, and serious brute while Wreckmate was a pirate who was campy but tough and somewhat serious.
- Wreckmate is the first major villain in the Power Rangers series to start off as a monster-of-the-week, and later on serve as a major villain.
- Wreckmate is the final general of the Void Family to be destroyed due to Slyther and Mucus surviving and defecting from the group after its defunct status. He is also the only general to survive an attack by the Dino Master Saber since other generals such as Boomblaster and Nulleye were destroyed by it. This is contrary to the Sentai where Wreckmate's counterpart was destroyed before the debuts of Boomblaster, Nulleye, and Sizzurai's counterparts and was not the final member of his group to be defeated.
