| ~ Robo Knight presents himself and his first words |
Robo Knight is the first robotic Power Ranger who appeared in Power Rangers Megaforce and Power Rangers Super Megaforce. He was briefly turned evil due to being reprogrammed by Prince Vrak until his original program restored.
Robo Knight is voiced by Chris Auer and his suit actor is Jiro Okamoto. However, in the Power Rangers Megaforce video game, he is voiced by Richard Epcar.
Overview
Robo Knight is the first Sixth Ranger of the Mega Rangers. He also transforms into the Lion Zord which forms the Lion Mechazord and Gosei Grand Megazord, among other combinations.
History
Robo Knight is one of the earliest creations of Gosei, along with the Megaforce Zords and Tensou. Robo Knight was originally meant to be the protector of Earth, built centuries ago by Gosei with powerful weaponry, sharp reflexes, the fearlessness of a lion and an unwavering commitment to his mission to protect the environment.
While mostly taking the heroic role, at first his memories were dormant and his good effort to protect the environment ended up endangering civilians until he learned how to fight for good properly and teamwork with the other Mega Rangers.
After his self-sacrifice in episode End Game, he was corrupted by Vrak and Emperor Mavro whom found his damaged body. At first, Vrak didn't have the proper resources to revive him. He found out that the only way to revive Robo Knight is to use a Sixth Ranger power as Robo Knight is a Sixth Ranger himself. Vrak waited until Vekar's death to capture Orion. Vrak had Orion's energies drained into Robo Knight, along with dark power. Now as Vrak's servant, Robo Knight devoted himself to him.
Each time Vrak plotted his moves, Robo Knight attacked the Rangers. Each time the Rangers convinced him that he to break free from Vrak's control, he stated that Vrak is the only one who knows the truth. While Drill Horn fought Emma, Gia, Jake and Noah in one battle, Troy fought Robo Knight, unmorphed and alone. Troy managed to free Robo Knight from Vrak's control by unleashing his inner power to punch Robo Knight through his chest. After that, he wanted to make up for the evil deeds he did while under Vrak's control.
To make up for the trouble he has caused while under Vrak's control, Robo Knight went into Vrak's underwater lair to save Orion before his life force was fully drained. As Robo Knight saved Orion, Vrak had the lair self-destruct. As that was happening, Robo Knight manages to transfer his life force into Orion. Though Robo Knight didn't escape while Orion did, he now lives within Orion.
Robo Knight somehow survived from his previous demise and showed up in the middle of the Legendary Battle, temporarily reunited with Troy before continuing to finish several X-Borgs, although it can be implied as being inevitable, since Troy's visions clearly showed that Robo Knight did survive long enough to be part of the battle, and the fight in real time was virtually the same as Troy's visions, acting as a foreshadow.
