Beetle Grappler

The Beetle Grappler is the Gold GB Ranger's Zord Attack Vehicle. It can be piloted & can transform into a variety of forms each with its own function, chief of which is the Beetle Grappler Robot Mode. Its prototype number was BMP-D-1305c. Its driver interface does not require a Cybuddy, just a pilot utilizing the DriveBlade.

History
Plans on it began some time after the first combination of the GB Megazord, though the blueprints themselves were originally designed by engineer Carlson.The project was so secretive that even the GB Rangers themselves didn't know about it, but Commander Tash did. The GB Rangers only discovered the plan when they foiled an attempt by Enter to steal the blueprints. It was later revealed that Bradley's bitter friend, Trevor, revealed the project to Enter out of dissatisfaction at his job. Bradley confronted him about this as he was downloading the blueprints to give to Enter. While fighting a Viratron, Bradley told Trevor to keep the blueprints safe, as his dreams were in there. Trevor met with Enter anyway, but attempted at the last moment to cancel the deal. Enter took the plans regardless & used them to create the Virazord Delta Unit, a mutated version of the Beetle Grappler possessing offensive power far exceeding a normal Virazord.

However, a second copy of the Beetle Grappler plans had been with Carlson when his lab was transported into hyperspace, & over the course of the next years he constructed a version of the Beetle Grappler to proper specs, which upon its unveiling proved superior to the Delta Unit. He further constructed a support Zord Attack Vehicle for it in the form of the Stag Jet, with which it can combine to form the Sector Megazord.

Abilities
The Beetle Grappler is a flexible machine like the Cheetah Racer when in its Robot Mode, armed with the ability to extend its crane arm to significant lengths & a pair of single-edged swords known as the Beetle Swords, which are stored folded in half on its legs, along with the Beetle Cannons.

It's finisher in tandem with the Stag Jet is the Beetle Catapult Attack, where the Beetle Grappler catches the target with the crane arm, then the Stag Jet lands on the extended limb & uses it as a runway to launch straight into the target.

It also possesses the Beetle Cannon Burst finisher, where it stores its Beetle Swords into the Beetle Cannons & fires a barrage of shots at the enemy Virazord.

It can also ride atop the Lion Cycle.

Beetle Grappler Vehicle Mode
Piloted by the Gold GB Ranger, the Beetle Grappler Vehicle Mode takes the form of a crane. The head of the crane can split into two. Since it does not require a Cybuddy interface, it does not have a hybrid mode per se.

It also has over 3000 meters of steel cable for it's crane arm.

Interestingly, while the GB Rangers refer to the vehicle itself as the Beetle Grappler, Carlson refers to any & all modes of it as the Beetle Grappler Animal Mode.

Beetle Grappler Animal Mode
It can also transform into an Animal Mode - the Beetle Grappler Animal Mode. It has the ability to collect Enetron from its opponents.
