The Generation 9 Amphibious Attack Bot (Water Hoser) is a Venjix Attack Bot. He possesses speech capabilities and is pipe-themed. He serves as the main antagonist of the episode "Rain".
History
Venjix created Water Hoser and demonstrated him to his generals Shifter and Crunch. Venjix's generals were impressed and called the Attack Bot a masterpiece. Venjix ordered Water Hoser to infiltrate the city's water supply, via the hydraulic circulatory system. Venjix sent him to pollute the water supply of the city with special caustic foam, which would make water in the city unusable for drinking.
The Attack Bot did manage to enter Corinth, and he released the Shield Disruption Mist, that allowed the Grinders to enter the city. The Rangers quickly showed up and battled the Grinders.
After the robot soldiers were out of the way, the Rangers were able to battle Water Hoser with their weapons. Though they were more than a match for him, the monster was able to turn back into water and escape through the city's main water line. The Rangers spent much energy of their costumes in this fight and were weakened.
Water Hoser re-emerged in the harbor only in his giant form. He continued his plan and entered the bay of the city and started to spray his foam. He also destroyed the bridge on the bay.
The Rangers were kept at bay by a large army of Grinders. Once Dillon showed up, the others were able to summon their Zords and form the High Octane Megazord. In the battle with Water Hoser, the Megazord was sent crashing into a city bridge. This made it to where the Megazord had to hold the bridge steady, so that the people still on the bridge could get to safety. But Water Hoser took advantage of this and attacked the Megazord.
Once everyone was safe, the Rangers were able to fight with the High Octane Megazord again. They then managed to trap Water Hoser in the bridge, and used the Super Saber attack to destroy him. TV STORY-Rain
