Initial Activation
The first activation of the Red Battlized Ranger occurred during a critical battle. Andros had been hesitant to use the third button on his Battlizer due to its potential danger, as it was an untested and extremely powerful function. However, young Silvy accidentally triggered it by pressing the 03 button on the Battlizer. This initiated a dramatic transformation process, enveloping Andros in red and purple electricity and striking him with lightning bolts.
The transformation process saw pieces of new armor forming onto Andros’s body. The upgraded suit maintained the look of his regular Red Ranger uniform but added black circuit-like patterns and a more muscular build. A large back and headpiece with red wings and wingtips also attached, along with upward-facing missiles positioned behind his shoulders.
Enhanced Combat Abilities
In his new form, Andros’s combat abilities were significantly heightened. The Battlizer Shield, a crystalline red energy barrier, could be summoned to deflect enemy attacks. This shield spiraled out from his chest to block incoming energy bolts and then retracted. Andros also had access to Battlizer Missiles, which he could launch to destroy targets with precision.
During his first battle as the Red Battlized Ranger, Andros demonstrated his enhanced combat skills by utilizing a three-bladed wrist weapon that created rings. These rings disarmed Quantrons by lifting their weapons and jamming them into the ground. Andros also used his Spiral Saber to shoot powerful red energy bolts, causing explosive chain reactions that took out multiple enemies.
Flight and Tactical Advantages
The Red Battlized Ranger’s flight capability provided a significant tactical advantage. Andros’s wings allowed him to soar through the air, giving him an elevated perspective and enhanced mobility. His headpiece, equipped with advanced targeting systems, enabled him to lock onto enemies with precision, making his aerial attacks highly effective.
In one instance, Andros flew over an enemy, targeting and launching his wingtip missiles to destroy Vacsacker. This combination of flight and advanced targeting made the Red Battlized Ranger a formidable force in any battle.
Subsequent Battles
The Red Battlized Ranger form proved invaluable in numerous battles. On the planet Forza, when the other Rangers were powerless due to an energy web, Andros utilized his Battlized powers to fly to the Megaship. Using his claw gauntlet, he attempted to pull the energy web but realized he needed more power. He then launched his Battlizer Missiles, which successfully dissolved the web with a powerful chain reaction.
In another battle, Andros used his missile capabilities to target and explode a group of Quantrons and Piranhatrons, demonstrating the destructive power of his Battlized form. Despite its strength, the form was not without vulnerabilities. During a confrontation with Ecliptor, Andros’s wing pack was damaged, causing him to lose control and revert to his normal form.
