Bopp-A-Roo is a robotic boxing kangaroo monster with a roulette wheel on his chest that serves as the primary antagonist of the episode "Boxing Bopp-a-Roo".
History
Bopp-A-Roo trains Kapri and Marah and with his witty puns, manages to annoy Lothor.
Bopp-A-Roo intervenes during Shane and Hunter's quarrel, but their teamwork is soon as his downfall when the team unites.
He was forced to retreat, later returned with upgraded boxing gloves, and had a rematch with the Rangers. They had the upper hand until Kapri, Marah, and Zurgane came in to aid Bopp-A-Roo. With the trio's help, he puts up quite a fight, but the Rangers combined their weapons to form the new Thunderstorm Cannon and destroy him.
In their final fight, the Megazords combine to create the Thunderstorm Megazord and use the Lion Blaster to bring upon Bopparoo's final K.O. TV STORY-Boxing Bopp-a-Roo

Notes
- Despite his training wheel having six abilities to use, he only uses three of them.
- He is the first monster to be destroyed by the Thunderstorm Cannon.
- Bopp-A-Roo is the first monster to fight and be destroyed by the Thunderstorm Megazord (Choobo was neither destroyed nor a monster).
- Bopp-A-Roo is similar to Punch-A-Bunch, a robot monster from Power Rangers Zeo:
- Both monsters are boxing-themed.
- Both monsters are robots.
- Both monsters get an upgrade to their fists.
- Both monsters' names have hyphens and the uppercase letter "A" in the middle of their names.
- Bopp-A-Roo apparently has his own exercise program. In episode 26 (which amounts to the 1st part of the two-part episode "Shane's Karma", Bopp-A-Roo can be seen on a television that Kapri and Marah are watching while working out. This is twelve episodes after he had been destroyed in episode 14, "Boxing Bopp-A-Roo".
- Said exercise routine must have been filmed before Bopp-A-Roo was recruited into the services of Lothor, or it was possible that he survived the battle with the Wind and Thunder Rangers.
