The Reanimator is the monster-reviving machine created by Wrench in order to resurrect outlaws destroyed by the Dino Charge Rangers.
Description[]
The Reanimator is completely built and operational some time after Gold Digger is defeated. It requires something of the monster to bring them back to life.
Though perfectly functional, the tool is limited as to how many lives it can restore at once and it has only been seen reviving one, such as with Duplicon and Meteor, or, as in the case of Iceage and Sting Rage, two outlaws at a time.
The machine has three main purposes: to use the criminals again in a subsequent mission, to financially serve as Sledge's saving grace by regaining the chance to obtain profit from his employer by reimprisoning his bounties, and to ensure the main villains never run out of soldiers and have a consistent and complete army.
The device is used to bring back many convicts back to life, many of which are offered a second chance, while others are reincarcerated.
Like before, they are mostly escorted to the battlefield, though now usually by Fury, to ensure they hold their part of the bargain.
On Halloween, Wrench finished his machine and managed to successfully reanimate Duplicon. Sledge planned on sending Duplicon to his employer and collect Duplicon’s bounty, and ordered Duplicon to be locked up until sending him away. Duplicon didn’t react well to this and ran away, refusing to willingly go to prison. He also insulted the prison cells calling them “stinky” and “slimy”, angering Sledge. After Duplicon bumped into Curio and got caught by the Spikeballs, he attracted the attention of his inmates. Sledge, still angry about his cells being insulted, took out his anger on a prisoner who was staring right at them, Memorella. Memorella subsequently used her Mind Beam attack on Sledge, reading his mind and mocking him over his past failures and when he got tricked by Keeper. Even more furious, Sledge ordered that both Duplicon and Memorella be destroyed, however Memorella managed to persuade him to spare their lives and came up with a plan against the Rangers. After Memorella is destroyed, Duplicon is punished for trick-or-treating instead of helping her by being locked in Sledge’s stinkiest, slimiest cell ever (possibly Solitary Confinement) until his bounty is collected. However, he is later destroyed when the Warship is destroyed, before Sledge can claim his bounty.
After Meteor’s repeated failures, Wrench reanimated Iceage and Sting Rage back to life. Sledge said he’d give them another chance at destroying the Rangers. However, the pair got caught in two of Albert Smith’s traps, leaving their fates ambiguous.
After Meteor’s destruction, Fury orders Wrench to reanimate him. Meteor is later destroyed again.
Several destroyed outlaws, such as Scrapper, Puzzler, Bones, Smokescreen, Gold Digger and Shearfear can be seen in cells. It can be presumed that they were reanimated and imprisoned, with Sledge planning on sending them to his employer and collecting their bounties, like with Duplicon. However, they were all killed in the crash of the Ship.
The machine survived the crash of Sledge's ship with Sledge seemingly dead, Poisandra asked about reviving Sledge, but Wrench stated it was impossible as there was nothing of him to use, not to mention the fact that he was never dead in the first place.
When Heckyl becomes the new leader, he gives every single monster a chance to fight the Rangers and bring them the Energems, and if they succeed can rule alongside him. However, if they choose to stay they must serve him for eternity. Iceage chooses to try again. It’s not clear whether Iceage was reanimated or if he escaped the trap and was locked up by Sledge for his failure. Iceage later gets destroyed by the Rangers.
It’s mentioned that Sting Rage was reanimated for Heckyl’s latest scheme. However, he is destroyed.
It can also make hybrid monsters. With Spellbinder's magic pendant and Gold Digger's coins, Fury and Wrench created Spell Digger.

When Lord Arcanon agrees to try a plan of Snide’s, Professor Strickler is recruited. Wrench reanimates Nightmare and Game Face to be Strickler’s students. However, all three of them are destroyed.
Although unseen, it can be presumed that it was obliterated when Koda blows up Sledge's Ship and the Warrior Dome. TV STORY-The Poisy Show
