General Shifter (with Hyperbot power)

General Shifter is one of Venjix's three original loyal commanding Generals, a Generation 5 Attack Bot. He is methodical and wants to help his master claim victory over the Earth, and seems to be more serious than his co-general, General Crunch, though at times he has displayed a a similar level of confused (lack of) intelligence. After Venjix decided that both General Crunch & General Shifter had become obsolete (though this was mostly provoked through their pointing out flaws in Venjix's plans), they were blasted & destroyed.After some time though, both generals were rebuilt and given their positions back in Venjix' evil machine order. He first fought the rangers in 'Ranger Blue', defeating Scott and proving himself to be a strong fighter.Later on, Shifter helped create bodies for the Venjix Virus to live in. However, the first few were easily defeated by the Rangers with help from the new Gold and Silver Rangers. By now, he had made an enemy out of Tenaya 7 after Kilobyte appeared. She sabotaged his newest Generation 16 Venjix Mobile Form and forced him to be banished into the wastelands, taking his newest creation with him. He used this new Hyperbot to scan the rangers' defenses, take control of the PaleoMax Megazord and eventually Scott himself, and combine with it, creating a super form to attempt to defeat the rangers. Eventually Scott destroys him. It is revealed that his body is created with titanium shielding. Venjix recycles his body to be part of his newest mobile form.
