Venjix Computer Network

Venjix
Voiced By: Andrew Laing
Venjix is a sentient computer virus created and used by Doctor K to escape the Alphabet Soup think tank. However, she failed to install a firewall and Venjix began to spread around the entire Earth. Venjix eventually succeeded in taking over the entire planet except for the city of Corinth. Venjix has the ability to create robots and sky crafts that he uses to enact his conquest of Corinth. He eventually grows tired of his army failing him and decided to build several bodies for him to pilot himself. To enact his final conquest of Earth, Venjix planned to use a device to activate all the hybrids in Corinth and use them to finally take over the domed city. His plans are thwarted however after Tenaya 15 sends a virus into his mainframe. His ultimate body is destroyed by the Control Tower falling on him and he is presumably deleted. However, Venjix is revealed to have survived and is last seen as a blinking eye in Scott Truman’s Cell Shift Morpher.

General Shifter
Voiced By: Mark Mitchinson
General Shifter is a gold-colored Generation 5 Attack Bot that is used by Venjix to create Attack Bots to attack the city of Corinth. He is banished by Venjix after Tenaya 7 made his Hyper Bot malfunctions and attack Venjix. After being banished, he decides to attack Corinth himself and uses his Hyper Bot to destroy the Ranger Series Operators. After his Hyper Bot is destroyed, he used a piece of it to power-up one of his arms and takes on the Ranger Series Operators himself. His powered up form is however destroyed by the RPM Ultrazord and he himself was destroyed in a one-on-one duel between Ranger Operator Series Red. His body survives however and is used to construct a final body for Venjix.

General Crunch
Voiced By: Charlie McDermott
General Crunch is a ditzy Attack Bot that eagerly served the Venjix Computer Network in any way he could, even if his plans were a little on the weird side. Despite his bumbling and ditziness, General Crunch is a capable fighter in the field of battle, being able to got toe-to-toe with Tenaya 15 before his untimely demise in the destruction of Corinth’s Control Tower.

Tenaya 7/15
Played By: Adelaide Kane
Tenaya 7 is a hybrid that had her mind completely erased into thinking she was a Generation 7 Attack Bot that looked human. She was in fact the blind human sister of Dillion, Ranger Operator Series Black that is first tasked with disguising herself as a potential candidate for Ranger Operator Series Green. She almost accomplishes this task before Ziggy Grover himself bonds with the Rev Morpher. Tenaya is a capable fighter, being able to fight the Ranger Series Operators herself and is equipped with many weapons and abilities, including a hand blaster and being able to detach her hand and control it remotely. Tenaya eventually learns that she is in face human after seeing herself bleed after a battle with Ranger Operator Series Black and questions her role in life. She defects to the side of good for a short time until she is captured by Kilobyte and is brainwashed into mindlessly serving Venjix, given upgrades and rebranding her Tenaya 15. During the final battle against Venjix, Tenaya is given a cure to free herself from Venjix’s control and assists in destroying Venjix for good. After destroying Venjix, she leaves Corinth with Dillon & Summer Landsdown to travel The Wasteland.

Kilobyte
Voiced By: Leighton Cardno
Kilobyte is Venjix’s most feared general who returned to the Venjix Palace after roaming The Wasteland for an undisclosed amount of time. Kilobyte develops a rivalry with Tenaya 7 shortly after and attempts to undermine her plans or straight up stealing her ideas. After Tenaya 7 defects to the side of good after learning she’s a human, Kilobyte recaptures her and give her upgrades and wipe her mind, turning her into Tenaya 15. This ultimately backfires as Venjix begins to favor her over him, with Kilobyte attempting to regain his master’s favor by growing and taking on the Ranger Series Operators himself and activating a device to wake up sleeper hybrids before Venjix is ready. This makes him lose favor with Venjix even more, with Kilobyte attempting to destroy Tenaya 15 once and for all but fails and is destroyed by a blast from the Road Blaster.
