The Z Putty Patrollers were the more powerful footsoldiers utilised by the Evil Space Aliens and United Alliance of Evil and major recurring antagonists in the second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and very minor antagonists in Power Rangers In Space's two-part finale "Countdown to Destruction."
Although who voiced them is unclear, the Z Putty Patrollers were played in suit by an assortment of different actors including Danny Wayne Stallcup (who was also the suit actor for Goldar, Rito Revolto, Elgar, the Batlings and voiced Jindrax), Ed Neil (who also was the suit actor for Lord Zedd and later Rygog) and Hien Nguyen (who also served as a suit actor for the Z Putty Patrollers), David Wald (who was also a double for Vypra in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue) and Tadahiro Nakamura. Nakamura also played many monsters such as Eye Guy, the Oozemen, the Cogs, the Piranhatrons, Coralizer, Psycho Red, Trakeena's mutated form, the Batlings and the Cyclobots.
Biographies[]
When Lord Zedd arrives and takes over the Moon Palace, he makes changes to the previously failed putties. Using his dark magic, Zedd casts a new league of foot soldiers, later dubbed Z-Putties. These new soldiers not only gain a new costume but also enhanced strength and speed. Zedd's new Putties first ambush Bulk and Skull to draw out Bulk and Skull, initially having the upper-hand when the Rangers arrive until Jason quickly discovers a key weakness within the Patrollers. When hit precisely in the center of their chest where Zedd's "Z" was displayed, the new Putty Patrollers simply burst into small clay bits that blew away in the breeze. Despite their known weakness, Lord Zedd is not discouraged from further use of the clay-brained creatures.
Season 3[]
By mid-1995, Rito Revolto arrives on the Moon with a wedding gift for Rita and Zedd; bird eggs containing the new and more powerful Tenga Warriors.
Zeo[]
Despite having long been discontinued by this point, and the Evil Space Aliens using the Tengas again when they later return, the Putties are mentioned once by Bulk and Skull. After the run-in with Rito and Goldar during Mace Face's attack, Lt. Jerome Stone shows them ink blot drawings to assess their mental health. Still scared, they call even the most indecipherable drawings monsters and mistake the last for being a Putty.
In Space[]
Four years after their last use, an army of Z Putty Patrollers join Rita and Zedd's army which attacks a planet in the M-51 Galaxy and defeats Trey of Triforia. The invasion of the universe is successful but the Putties and the rest of the monster army are turned to dust by Zordon's Energy Wave.
Personalities[]
Like their predecessors Putty Patrollers, all Z Putty Patrollers were loyal to their master and willing to do their said master's bidding, even if it included fighting to the death. While they shared many things in common with typical Putty Patrollers aside the creation process, Lord Zedd gave better improvements on Z Putty Patrollers in form of special emblem on their chest that provided them enhanced capabilities and high resistance against Mighty Morphin Rangers' technology. But the emblem also serves as their main weakness, as striking the emblem kills them instantly.
Trivia[]
- Despite the fact they are supposed to be stronger than the previous Putties, the Rangers nearly always fought them without Morphing.
- In real life, this was to protect the costumes and save them for monster fights.
- The Putties in the 2017 reboot have the same weakness in their chest as the Z Putties, albeit without the corresponding Z emblem due to belonging to Rita.
