Personality[]
In stark contrast to other bull-like androids created by Levictus Cornwall, who are reputed for their brute strength and intimidating forms, Moose, as his voice suggests, is a very civilized and kind-hearted individual. He is shown to be very kind to those who he considered friends, especially Ryan and Megan, even showed hospitality to complete strangers including Arthur and Wild Bill. He also appears to be quite articulate, as shown when he described in great detail his beliefs regarding his opinions on Dimitri. Due to his unwaveringly loyal and protective nature, he tends to rush to defend his comrades, especially when they are endagered or hurt, but strangely enough, tends to keep a positive attitude when he does.
When he encountered Dimitri, the man who Moose thought killed Levictus Cornwall, he confronted him himself, unintentionally causing his team to be poisoned. Despite his initial animosity towards Dimitri until he finds out that Dimitri's traitorous cousin Mikhail was the one who murdered Levictus Cornwall, Moose eventually warms up to him as a teammate and friend, to the point where he takes a finishing move meant for Stinger and is incapacitated - in turn losing both limbs and unable to go on missions. After being repaired they got along well and support each other as needed.

After finding out he was meant to be a mindless weapon, Moose hid himself from the others using this monkier, until Dimitri and Bill convinced him to rejoin the team. While a disguise, most of his teammates already recognized him, except Bill, who completely believed the cover-up story. This identity is mainly Ranger Series Black wearing a mask and wrestling belt while Mooses's jacket covered his Uni-Controller.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Moose is voiced by Charlie McDermott, who previously portrayed Hekatoid in Mystic Force, General Crunch in RPM, and Smash in Beast Morphers.
Notes[]
- Executive Producer SImon Bennett claimed that he based Moose's soft-spoken voice on Polynesian bouncers. Speaking to IGN, he said "We wanted to change the idea of what a hulking bull-like robot {Champ} could be. He's huge and heavy, but with a light soul. We wanted to make him funny and a relatable entry point into this world."
