Lion Chaser

The Lion Chaser is a Zord Attack Vehicle piloted by Drew Sheinfeld or Scott Truman. Unlike the other Zord Attack Vehicles that needs a Cybuddy for more functionality, it was specifically designed to integrate both systems, dubbing it as a BuddyZord by its creator. It can transform into a variety of forms each with its own function, chief of which is its Fighter Mode. It's control panel AI, the Leo Cannon, can also function as a cannon-like weapon & has a faster-response Enetron depletion & Viratron detection capability than the ones that Forrest & Maddie use, albeit lacking particular location detection capabilities.

The Lion Chaser is also a tactical support unit for the Cheetah Racer: Fighter Mode, either act as a personal vehicle for the Cheetah Racer, or as a replacement of the Cheetah Racer for any combination requires it.

While the Cybuddies initially feel left out because of him, they realize that it feels lonely after the death of its creator. The team comes to accept the Lion Chaser as a friend & partner.

History
The Lion Chaser made its first appearance when the Ranger Operators were facing two Virazords, PuppetZord & HourglassZord. Things seemed bleak for the Sector Megazord until a mysterious blue robot lion arrived that crippled the Venjix Virazords to free the Gorilla Loader & Rabbit Copter. The Cheetah Racer: Fighter Mode then arrived with the GB Megazord formed as it & the Sector Megazord respectively took out the PuppetZord & the HourglassZord. However, the only loose end was the mysterious lion robot as it suddenly attacked the Megazords before leaving.

After the attack by the mysterious lion robot, Commander Tash reveals that it was the design of the late Dr. Tamboli, the man who conceived the framework for the Zord Attack Vehicles. As the Ranger Operators tracked the lion robot to the surrounding foothills, they found Enter going after a young woman. After driving Enter off, the woman revealed herself to be Miranda Tamboli, the daughter of Dr. Tamboli. She revealed the robot is the BuddyZord Lion Chaser & explained that it wished to fight the Ranger Operators, who she revealed she had a hatred for. Ranger Red 2.0 used the Cheetah Racer: Fighter Mode against the robot, butwas defeated by ioh's Buddy Animal mode, revealing the lion's strength. Still bothered by Mika's words of why she hated the Go-Busters, Ryuji founds Masato as he presents the blueprints for the BuddyZord, a MegaZord with the AI of a Buddy Roid built into it. This inspired Ryuji and Masato to study the blueprints to discover more about it. Later, as Go-Buster Ace got its rematch with Tategami Lioh, Ryuji confronted Mika about her father's reasons for creating the BuddyZord before Enter intervened in the plans. Yellow Buster Powered Custom and Stag Buster held him off while Ryuji and Masato took Mika to another location, revealing that Tategami Lioh was meant to dock with Go-Buster Ace. However, as the docking caused it to assume its true mode, Masato revealed that Tategami Lioh was actually testing Go-Buster Ace for its worth as its partner. As Ryuji and Masato explained that Professor Hazuki's intention was to give the Go-Busters hope, Go-Buster Ace managed to defeat Tategami Lioh and win its loyalty just as Enter appeared in the Type Epsilon MegaZord to attack both MegaZords. After Tategami Lioh gave Go-Buster Ace an edge with its Buddy Vehicle mode, it requested Red Buster to personally pilot it as they destroyed the Type Epsilon MegaZord together. Emerging from Tategami Lioh, Hiromu appeared with the BuddyZord's control system which was created from a digitized copy of Professor's mind who thanked his daughter for looking after Tategami Lioh. With Mika's blessings, the Go-Busters took Tategami Lioh as their new ally.
