Fan:Minions in Digimon Mighty Squadron 02

Here's the list of Tactimon's minions in the second season of Digimon Mighty Squadron. To make a Digimon grow, Tactimon conjures a grenade & throws it to Earth where the Digimon catches it & slams it into the ground which then enlarges the Digimon.

MetalPiranimon
When Tactimon takes over Lilithmon's palace, he uses his staff to transform a piranha on Earth into MetalPiranimon. MetalPiranimon is one of the most formidable Digimon the DigiDestined face at that point. His weapon is a chain-linked weight that's used like a mace. During the course of his existance, Tactimon appears to be continually feeding MetalPiranimon energy from his staff. Using the weight, MetalPiranimon is able to freeze Dinotigermon, Triceramon, Mammothmon, & Pteramon. He then is able to take control of Tyrannomon & Coredramon & turn them against the DigiDestined. Nicky is able to create a device to free the Digimon from MetalPiranimon. To buy some time, the DigiDestined form the DigiBlaster & fire at MetalPiranimon, first aiming at Tyrannomon, then MetalPiranimon who initially panicks. Strangely enough, the DigiBlaster blast mostly misses him, aims a little low, but the explosion does burn his feet & cause him to hop around, howling in pain glow with electricity, implying that he is almost defeated. After the Digimon are restored, Tactimon attempts to bury them deep into the Earth, but Kokuwamon is able to save them & digivolve them into the new Thunder Digimon. The Thunder Digimon battle MetalPiranimon (who appears to be drunk during the battle, based on his erratic, staggering motions) after testing out the controls, & fare much better, not even being knocked down once. ThunderOmnimon is able to destroy MetalPiranimon with its Thunder Saber.

Gorillamon
Created by Tactimon from Spencer's white gorilla suit, Gorillamon is a white ape Digimon that has the ability to shape shift into any of the DigiDestined. He attacks Kokuwamon in a failed attempt to infiltrate the Command Center, then battles the DigiDestined, completely overwhelming them with his strength & shape shifting powers. Besides his ability to transform, Gorillamon can also fire white lightning bolts from his cannon-hand, as well as some type of unseen blast from his head. When disguised as Taylor, Gorillamon can fire explosive laser beams from his eyes. Lastly, Gorillamon can teleport & is armed with a lance (that appears to be brittle, as it is broken twice). With Seraphimon's help, the DigiDestined figure out that having Gorillamon see himself in reflective surfaces will revert him to his true form. Grown to giant size by Tactimon, Gorillamon fights ThunderOmnimon & Coredramon, mostly focusing on Coredramon, but is destroyed by what appears to be a surprise attack using the Thunder Saber, because the Digimon, tougher than it appears to be initially (demonstrated when overpowering the DigiDestined after they corner him & later the Coredramon), may not give them the time to power up the Thunder Saber otherwise.

He is later resurrected in "Tactimon's Monster Mash" due to being one of Tactimon's favorite Digimon in the graveyard of Deathmon. He briefly fights with Alex, Nicky, & Maggie, but after being kicked to the ground by Maggie, he does not get back up to fight.

]==Dinorexmon==

Dinorexmon is a hybrid of an iguana & a Tyrannosaurus rex. He can also extend his tongue & use it as a rope. Dinorexmon is created by Tactimon from Miss Kinta's pet iguana. After Dinorexmon terrorizes Brick & Stick, he fights Spencer & Nicky. Because of the iguana half, Dinorexmon is cold-blooded & therefore his powers will be weakened by cooler temperatures. Spencer & Nicky finally extinguish his flame breath with an ice weapon & assault him with the DigiBlaster, weakening him to the point of his near destruction, forcing Tactimon to make him grow. After the ensuing battle, which involves Dinorexmon's tongue being severed after binding ThunderOmnimon with it (& eventually planning to eating it, as inferred by Dinorexmon stating "Ah! Lunch!" right before his tongue is chopped in half), ThunderOmnimon destroys Dinorexmon with its Thunder Saber.

Because Tactimon's magic is lifted, Dinorexmon reverts back to Miss Kinta's iguana, whom Brick & Stick attempts to use to track down the DigiDestined in a failed attempt (although it does clear out everyone but the DigiDestined, Brick & Stick, & Miss Kinta).

BlackSunflowmon
A sunflower Digimon created by Tactimon from some flowers. She has long vine arms that she can use to entangle her victim in her clutches, & she can also spray incendiary pollen at her victims, which causes a severe burning sensation on their skin. She also traps Maggie, who is under Tactimon's spell of jealousy, inside an alternate dimension with her by simply getting her to stare into her eyes. Carly frees her by launching her daggers at a 90-degree trajectory course, shattering the dimension & releasing both Maggie & the Digimon. Maggie, freed of the evil spell, teams up with Carly to pummel the Digimon. Maggie is given a special weapon to combat BlackSunflowmon -— a ribbon weapon similar in appearance to a rhythmic gymnastics ribbon. The other DigiDestined arrive on the scene & obliterate BlackSunflowmon with the DigiBlaster.

Oryxmon
Oryxmon is a goat Digimon brought to life from an illustration in Alex's "Myths & Legends" book by Tactimon. He is sent to battle the DigiDestined & steal their Sword of Power. Though successful (& able to beat Alex & capture Nicky, Spencer, Carly, & Maggie), Oryxmon eventually loses the sword back to Taylor, which forces Tactimon to make him grow. He clobbers ThunderOmnimon pretty severely, but the DigiDestined recover. He is destroyed by ThunderOmnimon.

Oryxmon is later resurrected in "Tactimon's Monster Mash" as one of the Digimon in Deathmon's haunted forest. He attacks an unarmed Alex, along with Pumpkinmon, & they take his digivice to keep him from turning summoning Baihumon. However, when Maggie & Nicky arrive to help, Oryxmon is knocked down by a flipping kick from Maggie & he does not get up again to attack afterwards.

Octomon
An octopus Digimon created by Tactimon to capture the DigiDestined in a magic jar & drain them of their powers. Octomon is very vain & considers himself to be very handsome. He is also rather poncey & vain & does not like to get hit in the face. Other than his undying love for himself, Octomon is also extremely powerful. He is able to trap four of the DigiDestined, but Nicky & Taylor concoct a plan to use a mirror in order to occupy Octomon's attention & free their captured friends. Octomon falls for the trick, & the team is reunited. Tactimon grows angrier & makes Octomon grow, which leads to a brief battle where they first poke each other. ThunderOmnimon then attacks Octomon's head to spite the Digimon, after which he says "watch the head", then when they hit his head with the Thunder Saber he angrily says "I SAID -watch- -THE- -HEAD-!!!" & attacks them in rage before going back to playful taunting. Afterwards the DigiDestined finish him off with the Thunder Saber.

Kuwagamon
Created by Tactimon out of a drawing on a flyer outside the Youth Center for a rival school's broomball team, Kuwagamon is a Digimon that can drain opponents of their energy & use it against them. Kuwagamon can project energy bolts from his claws & pincers & shock his foes with claws. In his fight with the DigiDestined, he manages to completely drain Alex of his powers with Coredramon. As he battles the other DigiDestined, he fires blast after blast at them, & with each blast it uses up the powers of Coredramon. Kokuwamon creates a device called the "Green Energy Transducer" for Alex to use against Kuwagamon. By absorbing some of Kuwagamon's energy into the Transducer, Alex is able to regain some of his lost powers. Afterwards, the DigiDestined assemble the DigiBlaster & fire, causing the Digimon to fall over. Taylor realizes that the Digimon is not yet finished as Tactimon uses a growth grenade to make Kuwagamon grow. During the Digimon battle, Kuwagamon talks incessantly about using his pincers to attack the DigiDestined, repeatedly blasting them with green energy from his pincers & using his claws to electrocute ThunderOmnimon. He knocks the Composition Digimon down, repeatedly kicking it, forcing the DigiDestined to switch to emergency power for the first time with their new Digimon. ThunderOmnimon chops off Kuwagamon's pincers, greatly upsetting the Digimon. Kuwagamon is then defeated with the Thunder Saber.

Hiwanamon
Hiwanamon is a venus flytrap Digimon created by Tactimon who proves to be a challenge for the DigiDestined. MadLeomon kidnaps Carly's young neighbor, Amy, & holds her for ransom on Tactimon's mystical Venus Island. When the DigiDestined come to save her, Tactimon plans to ransom her for Alex. Unfortunately she overwhelms the DigiDestined after her creation. After 4 of the DigiDestined are absorbed by the Digimon, the remaining DigiDestined must race against the clock to get to Venus Island before it vanishes. They are able to track the whereabouts of Venus Island thanks to Nicky's experimentation with wind direction, which pinpoints the correct location. Alex learns that Tactimon will give up the girl if he takes her place, becoming the evil DigiDestined again. Alex agrees but Kokuwamon finds a way for Alex & Carly to save the others. Her weakness is found to be heat, so they apply a lot of heat to her stomach. For the remainder of the battle, is is seen holding her stomach & moaning in pain, pleading for them to stop. Carly & Alex save their friends & are able to defeat Hiwanamon by blowing her up with the DigiBlaster. They rescue Amy in time & return her home. Hiwanamon is next seen in "Tactimon's Monster Mash" as one of the Digimon re-created for the haunted forest in the Dark Dimension to combat the DigiDestined. In this episode, she keeps her female voice. She tries to attack three of the DigiDestined (Alex, Maggie, & Nicky, respectively), but is knocked down by a kick from Maggie & does not get back up again afterwards.

Roachmon
A guitar-playing cockroach Digimon with a hypnotic sound created by Tactimon from a cockroach crawling next to Maggie's guitar. He originally wants a guitar Digimon, but chooses the cockroach. MadLeomon says that Tactimon can not create Digimon from inanimate objects, even though he already has, & will in the future. The guitar Roachmon uses is taken from Maggie & warps for Tactimon's powerful Digimon to use. Roachmon plays rock tunes & hypnotizes its victim's bodies, often using weight changing powers. Roachmon manages to capture Spencer, Carly, Nicky, & Taylor. Maggie is saved in the nick of time by Alex, but Alex takes a great risk by taking on Roachmon with extremely low power. He manages to take the Digimon down, but Roachmon's musical mayhem prevails when he starts releasing his tunes yet again. Alex temporarily retaliates with his DigiDagger, learning that the key to winning is to fight music with music. Once Maggie shows up, she helps Alex & they combine Maggie's DigiBow (now strung like a harp) with Alex's DigiDagger. Maggie blasts the DigiDagger straight into Roachmon, obliterating him.

After the defeat of Roachmon, Maggie's guitar is brought back to its normal state (& because of the fate of all Digimon created by Tactimon, it is presumed the cockroach is returned to normal as well).

Dokunumemon
Created by Tactimon from the large & unusual shell that Mag finds at the lake, Dokunumemon is an insect/mollusk Digimon. Dokunumemon wields a staff with a large spiked shell on one end, projects energy beams from his face, & can project an energy twister from his staff. He also seems to grow giant on his own accord, rather than through Tactimon's growth bomb. Dokunumemon is able to seal itself up in its shell & hurl itself repeatedly, in a circle pattern, at ThunderOmnimon, knocking it over, & cause the DigiDestined to eject from it. Dokunumemon takes a break & goes back to Tactimon, who becomes furious with Dokunumemon for leaving the battle while having the upperhand.

Dokunumemon is then sent to fight Alex, as he is able to absorb the last of his powers. Dokunumemon causes Alex to desperately fight back even without his powers. MadLeomon intervenes & tells Dokunumemon that he will continue torturing Alex while Dokunumemon resumes his destruction of Tokyo. Dokunumemon is hesitant at first & wants to be the one to finish Alex, but MadLeomon threatens him & reminds him of his status as an underling, letting him know that Tactimon has other plans for him. Dokunumemon continues to attack Tokyo after MadLeomon takes over his place.

In the meantime, Dokunumemon's onslaught is broadcast on television & the DigiDestined feel helpless since they can do nothing to put a stop to him at that time. Alex manages to escape from MadLeomon, returning to Tokyo. Alex then deceives Dokunumemon by hiding in a cart of watermelons, which Dokunumemon eats. Alex attacks the Digimon from the inside with intense heat & then Spencer grabs a nearby water hose, rapidly cooling Dokunumemon's exterior, causing him to freeze. With the Digimon severely weakened, & Alex clear, the Thunder Digimon are re-digivolved, & the DigiDestined quickly defeat the Digimon with the Thunder Saber.
