"Yes sir!"

―Zan-KT of the Shield's first words after Robogog gave him his orders.^[src]

"So, you're Goseiger eh? By the hand of my creator, Emperor Robogog of the Matrintis... I, ShieldKT, will end you!"

―Zan-KT when confronted by the Goseigers. The pause was because he retracted into his shell and raced at them.^[src]

"What?!"

―Zan-KT after Alata destroyed his shield and his final word before his initial defeat.^[src]

"Just give up already, and go back to your Gosei World or whatever it is!"

Zan-KT of the Shield (シールドのザンKT, Shīrudo no Zan Kē Tī, 33) is a scallop-themed Matroid of the Machine Onslaught Empire Matrintis and the second unit of Zan-KT series.

History

Zan-KT was a Matroid built by Robogog of the 10-sai using the research he has taken from the Goseiger's battles with Warstar and the Yuumajuu in order to defeat them and to capture humans to work for the re-establishment of his empire. With his powerful defensive abilities, Zan-KT does well until the Goseiger use their emotions that allow for them to fight against any threats and win. Using their Super Goseiger forms, they overcome Zan-KT and defeat him with the Super Gosei Dynamic. However while the Matrintis forces reveal their usage of the modified BB Nails to grow their creation, the Goseiger make quick work of it with Gosei Ultimate's Ultimate Strike after it blasted him down with its cannons despite him having chained it up.
