Saruder, Kark, Lugan, Kumard & Gammer, collectively known as the Battle Borgs, are a group of robots from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger (or Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers) and are a group of minor antagonists in Knights of the Multiverse Season 1. They're a quintet of Ninja-like battle-type androids created by the evil organization L.O.S.R. based off of Dr. Maya's Tobikage Droid in another bid to terminate the Crystal Knights.
Personalities[]
All five of the Borgs are very confident in their abilities, thinking nobody can beat their speed and strength, least of all their outdated predecessor. When faced with a serious threat in their fight with the Knights though, while some of them simply become a little more panicky, others become a lot more cowardly and resort to desperate, cheap tactics.

Notes[]
The Battle Borgs are the first villains that the Knights face when Atros and the other ex-Renegade Droids officially join the group. The fight is meant to be something along the lines of the team's fight with the Robot Vikings, as this is meant to show how the "newbies" mesh with Usagi's group on the battlefield; though juxtaposed a little and made different from the Viking fight by how they're all not totally in sync yet.
To spice things up a little and to make their fight more interesting, each of the Battle Borgs use the handheld weapons and some attacks used by their other Zord counterparts, the Giant Beast Generals (or Shogunzords as Power Rangers fans know them). Speaking of PR, while the group's name comes from their US "adaptation", their individual names come from their original Sentai counterparts.
The Ninja Robots were actually full-sized Mecha in their home series, but were scaled down to Battle Droids, mostly in part to their more humanoid forms and to give the Knights another human-sized set of robots to fight in the season.
