Porto
-
- presumed mutant; technician for Divatox
500-TPRM
The subcraft's radar
was broken; such a repair job probably would have been Porto's duty, had
he been around at this time.
501-SIT1
Porto attended Divatox's gathering of villains as she plotted her revenge on the Power Rangers.
Divatox made Porto her
technical advisor, placing all things scientific under his
responsibility.
After the subcraft had arrived on Earth, Elgar was holding a
chain connected to a pulley in the ceiling, which then tied around
Porto, nearby, as two Piranhatron shoved
him upright; Divatox told Porto to get back to
work.
Once on Earth, Porto
designed a detonator, the first of many of
its kind.
Porto's teleportation effect consisted of a
watery blue blob which transported him through a hovering porthole
portal.
At the energy
center briefly, Porto gave Elgar
instructions on placing the detonator, in
the exact center to cause maximum damage, and gave him a changer laser device in case
anyone gave him any trouble.
502-SIT2
Elgar was later cleaning
Porto's face portal but then sneezed on it and had to start over.
When Porto calculated that the destination of the
wormhole in space was the planet Eltar,
he wondered who would want to go there.
503-SIT3
Discovering that Dimitria was heading through the wormhole toward Earth, Porto let Divatox
look for herself, at which point she ordered him to close the wormhole.
When Porto completed his wormhole-closing device, he
called in Amphibitor, who
entered from the subcraft's elevator after
having waited on Divatox's planet to be summoned.
Porto had modified the subcraft's torpedoes
to enlarge monsters.
Elgar apparently wasn't
familiar with Dimitria, but it seemed that
Porto had been.
504-Shad
Porto completed work on the Chromite, and Elgar
walked it in from the lift as it held his arm and a bouquet of roses,
with a Piranhatron tossing up confetti
and a spotlight following the couple.
Porto and Divatox had microphones, and Divatox held headphones as they introduced the Chromite; Divatox
then cheerfully looked at the camera as though she were addressing an
audience.
Porto said the Chromite had the special power Divatox had asked for.
505-TrIm
Porto entered from the northern elevator, having
intercepted a transmission from Visceron
to Dimitria; he thought it would interest Divatox.
When Visceron
awoke in the sea cave, he was smoking, and the right side of his face
appeared to be smashed up; Elgar and Porto had
been waiting to interrogate him.
Divatox had Porto send
the Piranhatron to guard the detonator, but when they were defeated, she
sent Porto with Visceron to guard it.
Dismayed with the stupidity of the
mind-controlled Visceron, Porto noted he
was glad this wasn't his idea; he then left Visceron there.
506-RlyR
Divatox told Porto to
make a detonator by the next day; when he
explained that the detonators were very
sophisticated devices and were quite complicated to manufacture, she was
impatient with him, and both she and Elgar
rudely told him they didn't want to hear the details of the detonator; after they'd left, Porto
frustratedly said, "That is the last straw. I'm sick of wasting my
superior intellect on this band of buffoons! I'm going AWOL!"
That night, Porto left while Rygog and Elgar were asleep
on the bridge the other two were sleeping; he had a torpedo chained to his back, and he went from
the south end of the bridge to the lift in the north end.
Porto usually slept in the south end of the
bridge with Elgar and Rygog; when Divatox asked
where Porto was, Elgar looked toward the
southeast corner and, not seeing him there, concluded that Porto had
jumped ship.
In Angel Grove,
Porto thought he would get the respect he deserved once he destroyed the
city.
Porto pushed the torpedo over, and it exploded, making him grow.
After the Rangers
had driven up in their Turbo Carts, giant
Porto opened his faceplate and blew a stream of air at them.
The Turbo Weapons
and the Turbo RAM Cannon Mode
were ineffective against giant Porto.
In the subcraft, Elgar locked onto giant Porto's coordinates and
shrank him with red energy, then force-teleported him away with Porto's
own teleport effect.
Divatox asked Rygog the penalty for going AWOL, and he consulted
an old book with metal skull and crossbones on the cover, on a book
stand to hold it open; based on the book's guidelines, Divatox planned to make Porto walk the plank,
even though they were on a submarine.
Divatox, Elgar, and Rygog all
laughed at Porto's impending punishment.
507-BFSp
Porto presented his new super-duper, high-powered
detonator, smaller than previous detonators.
When Elgar suggested
somebody fast to deliver Porto's latest detonator, Porto recommended Demon Racer, a choice which Divatox heartily approved; as soon as Divatox had mentioned the monster's name, he
frantically ran around the subcraft's bridge
at superspeed.
After Demon
Racer was destroyed, Porto revealed that he'd made a spare Demon Racer just in case.
508-BBFB
After describing the plan with Big Burpa and the detonator in place of an odometer on Justin's new bike,
Porto said she/it (either Big
Burpa or the detonator, presumably Big Burpa) was his greatest creation
yet.
While watching Justin's
bike ride, Divatox opened Porto's faceplate and removed a
bag of popcorn.
Watching Justin's party,
Divatox wondered why birthdays were so
important, and Porto replied that if she let them celebrate one, she'd
understand.
509-WLie
Porto secretly went to the car wash the teens were volunteering at and dropped a detonator into a bucket.
Porto shot a blue beam from his stomach porthole,
and Mouthpiece appeared.
After Mouthpiece had blasted Justin with his deception blaster, Porto
teleported Mouthpiece away with
his stomach ray, then teleported away himself.
Porto had added something special to Mouthpiece's deception blaster,
causing a Piranhatron to appear every
time a Ranger uttered a lie.
Porto and Divatox
planned to keep the teens so busy with Piranhatrons that they wouldn't have time to
deal with the detonator Porto had planted
at the teens' car wash.
510-WLie
Elgar didn't know about
Divatox's failed engagement to a creature from
ancient Egypt known as Pharaoh, but Porto did.
512-Al&D
Rygog, not Porto, gave Divatox the completed detonator-of-the-day.
With the detonator
about to go off, Divatox said her moment of
victory was finally upon them, and she had Elgar, Rygog, and Porto go
to the city to prepare the way for the new
queen of the planet.
Elgar and Porto floated
in the air and teleported away soon after arriving; Rygog, after having blasted at the Rangers only briefly, then left as well.
513-MiMe
After the villains
had brought Blue Senturion back to the
subcraft once his crash landing had
interrupted their day at the beach, Porto switched Blue Senturion on by opening a panel in his
back and touching a button inside.
According to Blue
Senturion's estimated future from the year 2000, the universe's greatest evils
would join forces to destroy the Earth and the
entire universe; only one force stood in
their way, a force which only Divatox, Elgar, and Porto saw. (See "Millennium message" for more
information.)
Divatox told Porto to
reprogram Blue Senturion to turn him
evil, but Porto explained, "He's an Intergalactic Police Officer. It
can't be turned evil," so Divatox had him make
Blue Senturion think the Power Rangers were evil and had to be
destroyed for the good of the universe.
Before sending Blue
Senturion on his way, Porto placed a detonator inside the officer's back.
Divatox asked Porto if
they had any spare monsters, and he
replied that in fact they did have one, Terrortooth.
514-ADTW
Divatox was frustrated
over the Piranhatrons' failure in the
attack on Carlos and Ashley, but Porto then presented Electrovolt, who entered from the
lift.
As the villains
excitedly watched the big soccer game on a big-screen TV in the south
end of the subcraft's bridge the next day,
Porto was holding what looked like cotton candy, saying this was so much
fun.
515-Cars
Porto's image appeared in a bubble in an audition
hall to give Elgar instructions on using the detonator he was planting there.
When Elgar asked Porto if
he was expecting anyone when Griller rang the doorbell, Porto said
his friends would never appear unannounced.
516-Shr1
After Divatox had
watched a fly's buzzing greatly bother Blue
Senturion's receptors, she asked Porto if Shrinkasect was ready, at which
point Porto promptly introduced Shrinkasect from the lift.
522-TBTS
Divatox was at a cove
at the beach with her henchmen and Piranhatrons as Porto introduced a device to transport any
object from one place to another.
After Divatox had
disappeared from the beach
after an accident with the teleportation device,
Porto, back on the subcraft, considered
sending out an SOS throughout the galaxy.
In the middle of their search for the missing Divatox, the three henchmen were hungry, and Elgar suggested pizza; Porto lost a game of
paper-rock-scissors and had to go pick up the pizza.
At the counter of Mad Mike's Pizza Parlor in a large
dress and hat, Porto told Mike he'd called ahead for five pizzas cooked
to a crisp with raw fish heads on it (of which the place was out); the
address he'd given was in Angel Grove
Lake.
Seeing the amnesic Divatox waitressing at Mad Mike's, Porto asked Divatox if she recognized him, and she said he
could be any one of the guys with aquariums on their heads that she
knew.
Porto ducked aside when Carlos, Justin, and a
group of other kids came into the pizza parlor.
When Rygog told Porto to
make a monster to distract the Rangers, Porto said he needed a special
purpose for the monster, he needed to know
what kind, he needed specifics and inspiration, but then he touched a
pizza box, and a blue energy bolt from his finger created a monster from the Mad Mike drawing.
When the Rangers
were trapped in a building with the evil space
cars, Divatox told Porto to make her a
colossal cooker, and the cars then knocked the Rangers into a giant pizza cooker; Mad Mike proceeded to make a Ranger pizza of them.
523-PhPh
After Justin had
unwittingly led Rygog to the Phantom's ship in the woods, Divatox had Porto send Rygog a detonator to
make the Phantom return.
525-WTFO
Porto had apparently invented the freeze key, as Divatox questioned him about its powers.
527-OLHo
In the Space Base's holding bay, Metallasaurus's second form was being
assembled, but its second form wouldn't be introduced until 528-FOPh.
Havoc had had
Porto working around the clock to upgrade Metallasaurus's operating systems, and he
said he'd borrowed and improved upon several ideas from the Turbo Megazord.
Porto had printed out information hidden in the
Megazord's database and gave it to Havoc in a black "Top Secret" binder which
contained information on the unintroduced Siren Blaster Rescuezord and Artillatron, but most importantly, the Phantom Ranger and his Power Ruby.
There was Japanese writing in the binder, and the binder
opened backwards.
Porto said that as Havoc knew, they would first have to
eliminate the Phantom Ranger in order to
defeat the Rangers.
After Metallasaurus had been defeated by the Rescuezords, Porto and blue, pink, green, and
gray Chromites (with the Chromites in lab coats) studied the Turbo Megazord in great detail to figure
out how everything worked.
529-ClMz
Porto and the Chromites were back in the Turbo Megazord cockpit, this time modifying
it to work under the villains' control
while its power was booster by the Phantom's Power
Ruby; Porto said it should be completed within the hour.
When the Space Base
was trapped in a beam from the Rangers'
super-magnet on Earth after Porto had lowered the shields to send
down the Turbo Megazord, Divatox told Porto to get her a monster to destroy the magnetic beam, and Porto
introduced Metal Mangler, who
was immediately pulled toward Earth and never
seen again.
Porto then introduced Crosspatch, who had less metal.
530-Robo
Seeing that Bulk and
Skull were filming Cassie and Ashley, Divatox
had Porto bring her Flash Head,
who walked in from the balcony after the subcraft's doors had been closed.
Porto later presented Voltmeister, who was introduced
in the same manner as Flash
Head.
531-BTTW
Immediately after Wicked Wisher had been
destroyed, Porto presented Wild
Weeder from the subcraft's balcony doors
to make the humans search for her missing wishing coin.
533-FIYT
At the villains' monster training area near Angel Grove Forest, Porto didn't think
the villains were motivating the monsters properly.
When Divatox wanted Lightning Cruiser, Porto explained that
stealing equipment from the Rangers
wasn't so difficult, but that Lightning
Cruiser was different.
When he, Elgar, and Rygog appeared near a watchtower in the forest after failing to capture Lightning Cruiser, Porto asked why they
had stopped there; when Elgar was disappointed
about only getting booster fuel
rather than Lightning Cruiser, Porto
planned to make Divatox her own flying car instead.
Divatox was pleased
with the flying car, but it
soon ran out of booster fuel.
When Divatox later
found out that Elgar had personally mixed
Porto's new evil fuel formula, she had Elgar
test the car; he promptly
crashed, apparently ruining the car.
Porto said that next time he'd mix the fuel
himself.
534-TOWW
Porto didn't trust Maniac Mechanic, whom Elgar had chosen from an ad in a yellow pages.
535-SpOW
When Divatox first saw
that T.J., on the first day of a new jogging
routine, was alone one morning, the new monster Lord Litter was already on the
bridge, and Porto already knew about the plan to
use the monster against T.J.
536-Conf
After seeing that Cassie
was holding music auditions, Divatox took her
red alien-looking electric guitar from Porto (which he'd apparently been
holding even before her observation on Cassie)
to write "the most memorable hit" the teens had
ever heard.
536-Conf
In some sort of underground compound, Rygog commanded the Creeps to continue to fight after
they'd retreated from the Rangers one
day; Elgar and Porto were in the compound as
well.
Porto presented the Creeps with a red cannon which Elgar called a Ranger Scrambler, powered by
a red gem that appeared to be part of a necklace.
537-Accd
Porto told Divatox the
Zord project was nearly finished, but there
were just a few minor glitches.
Divatox had ordered
Porto to build her an evil Zord.
Porto said the Zord
needed a test run, so Divatox had Elgar test it.
Elgar flew off in Terrorzord before Porto could make a few
adjustments, such as inserting the cotter pin.
When Porto told Divatox
Elgar had left before he could finish the Terrorzord, Divatox
told him he'd better hope the Zord stayed
together.
After Terrorzord had
caused the Rescue Megazord's artillery cannons to blast Robo Racer, Divatox
was delighted they were winning, but Porto was nervous.
538-CBFr
As Elgar was repairing Terrorzord, Porto presented Mr. Goorific, whom Porto had
already described to Divatox.
Some time later,
Porto was on the bridge to ask Divatox to calm
down about the time the repairs on Terrorzord were taking, but he was then
immediately in the Space Base's holding bay
with Rygog and Elgar as
Terrorzord's disembodied arm was being
moved into position.
Rygog said that thanks to
him, the arm wouldn't fall off this time, but Porto protested that he'd
designed Terrorzord and that the Zord had been his idea.
539-CrvB
When Divatox saw T.J. frustrated by being struck out, she called Porto
in, and he entered from the balcony with Strikeout.
540-C&TC
There were lunar bats flying around the Space Base's balcony; presumably, Porto's
construction of Divatox's evil Zords on the moon (a project which Divatox had ordered in 537-Accd and which was shown completed in 541-LSMn) had introduced the creatures to the Space Base.
Porto was not shown on the Space Base until one final scene after Count Nocturn had been
destroyed.
541-LSMn
Porto, Elgar, and Piranhatrons worked on the near-completed evil Zords on the surface of the moon.
Porto had orange
gloves rather than white while on the moon.
When Divatox was angry
upon being told Elgar was putting the Divazord's control panel back
together, he corrected himself by saying he'd meant his cousin Edgar.
Later, Divatox had
everyone, even Porto, clean up the subcraft
while she was waiting to try out the Divazord; her space taxi then
arrived to drive her to and link up with the Divazord.
542-RivR
Porto was sure Divatox
would have no problem with the Sharkzord, which would be
finished soon.
Divatox assigned Porto
to drive the Sharkzord,
despite his reservations.
Another day, Porto piloted the Sharkzord in an oddly-designed
convertible in the Zord's
head.
As her Turbo
Navigator screen centered on Porto's control car atop the Sharkzord, Cassie announced that the tractor beam was locked,
and Justin fired the Turbo Megazord's chest ray at the car,
ejecting Porto and causing the unpiloted Sharkzord to collapse.
543-P&Pc
On the moon, Porto and Rygog were using parts stolen by Piranhatron from the Super Duper Fast
Deliveries company to complete a remote control for Rygog to control all three evil Zords at once.
As Rygog piloted the
three evil Zords, Divatox wanted him to use full power; Porto
suggested half power instead, but she replied she
never did anything halfway.
544-CIS1
In her flying car, Divatox drove up on the surface of the moon, where Porto, Elgar,
and Piranhatron were, to look at Goldgoyle, who stood in giant form
on the moon.
Despite Elgar and Rygog's bickering over who had discovered the Power Chamber, once the villains were setting up for their assult in
the desert, Porto attributed the
discovery to Elgar, not believing he'd done
something right.
601-FON1
Attending Dark
Specter's assembly of villains on the Cimmerian Planet, Divatox had brought along Elgar, Rygog, Porto, Piranhatrons, and a Putrapod.
642-CTD1
Porto was among Rita and
Zedd's army on a planet in the Vica Galaxy.
643-CTD2
Porto was presumably among the victims of Zordon's energy wave, though he wasn't shown when
the wave hit.
"Porto."
