Click here to see quotes from Dynamo.
**Dynamo** is a recurring antagonist of *Power Players*. He is a toy wind-up robot who's a part of Madcap's army.

## Appearance

Dynamo is a medium-sized purple toy wind-up robot with several yellow details. He has one red eye, a gray face, and a large hole at the center of the body.

## Personality

Dynamo is unfriendly, menacing, and ruthless towards his enemies. He is extremely loyal to Madcap and with a determination to please his leader by taking down the Power Players and steal Axel's Power Bandz.

But despite Dynamo's ruthlessness, he can be a bit of a coward or even showing mercy occasionally. When he invaded Axel's room to steal Bearbarian's upgraded Monster Jeep, he gets scared by its defense protocol mode being switched to merciless predator mode and he gets chased by it instead of defending himself from the Monster Jeep. And when Madcap got defeated in "The Best Team", he chooses to run away instead of fighting back the Power Players.

## Abilities

* Dynamo has a hole in the center of his magno-toy body that could produce massively powerful magnetic fields, blasts, and shields. He can also hover himself into the air so he can fly. Dynamo's magnetic power is very strong that he could able to cause a power outage in one room, as seen in "Gathering Dark".

## Weaknesses

Dynamo's only weakness is a button on his back that when pressed would turn him off. The button is also a windup to recharge Dynamo, which he could get tired out in a few minutes after he was windup and someone needs to help wind him up again so he could be active again. But his weakness of being tired out if he wasn't wound up enough have been overcome possibly from Madcap's upgrade since the only episode Dynamo gets tired out easily was his introductory episode "Bowling for Ballers".

## Relationships

### Madcap

In "Bowling for Ballers" Madcap find Dynamo and brought him to life with Minergy so he could recruit him into helping him and Porcupunk steal Axel's Power Bandz at the bowling alley. Dynamo manages to impress Madcap by his magnetic powers after he blasts Porcupunk away when the latter becomes jealous of him.

Since then, Dynamo has a strong sense of loyalty for Madcap and he's determined to follow his leader's many demands whenever Madcap sends him to the Toy Store to attack the Power Players and steal the Power Bandz for him. For instance, in "Gathering Dark", Madcap sends him to Axel's room to steal Bearbarian's newly-upgraded Monster Jeep for him and Dynamo refuses to give up on fulfilling his task even if the Monster Jeep starts chasing after him when he caused a power outage of the room which lead to the Jeep's defense mode being switched to merciless predator mode. Sometimes, Madcap would bring Dynamo along to help him sabotage Axel for fun, such as when Axel participates in a soapbox derby race in "The Best Team". But despite his loyalty, Dynamo seems to be fearful of Madcap whenever he gets frustrated of his henchman disobeying him since Dynamo (along with Orangutank) becomes surprised when the upgraded Porcupunk tells Madcap to "wait a minute" so he could play with the guitar he created with his supersonic spikes.

### Porcupunk

Dynamo first met Porcupunk after the former was brought to life by Madcap in "Bowling for Ballers". Dynamo is aware of Porcupunk's jealousy towards him because of his magnetic powers, but he chooses to rub it in his face when they and Madcap are at the bowling alley to steal Axel's Power Bandz. After Porcupunk purposely didn't wind him up enough for the first time which causes Dynamo to shut down when they're at the arcade room, Dynamo angrily attacks him and calls him a rodent. Later when they were both given a task by Madcap to sabotage Zoe winning the bowling tournament, the two hide behind the standing bowling pins and they deliberately hold onto them to prevent them from falling. But they proceed to mock each other with Dynamo calling Porcupunk "a second fiddle".

Despite their little rivalry, the two toys often get along with each other because of their shared hatred of the Power Players and their love for destruction. In "The Best Team", Dynamo and Porcupunk both team-up to help Madcap sabotage Axel at the soapbox derby race. And when Madcap gets defeated at the end of the episode, he suggests to Porcupunk that they should run away in fear without fighting the Power Players back. And in "Winner Takes All", they both break into the Toy Store to crush the Power Players while the team is in the middle of wrestling on Luchador Day.

### Power Players

Overall, Dynamo is a sworn enemy to the Power Players. He is often tasked by Madcap to invade the Toy Store so he could steal something for him, such as Axel's Power Bandz. For instance, in "The Dynamo Dynamic", he's tasked by Madcap to kidnap Slobot and bring him to his leader so that Madcap could make improvements to his weapons against the Power Players. Dynamo is determined to take down the Power Players once and all without wanting to give up his tasks in hand. When he overheard the team is watching a King Arthur movie and they get inspired by the idea of becoming "king", Dynamo took advantage of their liking of the film and managed to trick the toys into making them fight over who would pull the Power Sword out of the stone by using his magnetic power to deliberately causes it to get stuck on, which almost breaks the team's friendship so he could steal the Power Bandz.

### Zoe

Dynamo is aware that Zoe knows about the existence of living toys and his role in Madcap's army. In "King Axel", Dynamo isn't afraid to steal the Power Bandz from Zoe's hands and he starts attacking her and Axel in the latter's room.

## Trivia

* Despite Dynamo first appeared in "The Dynamo Dynamic", Axel recognizes him even though he never met him for the first time. Because the episodes are released out of chronological order, Dynamo's introductory episode is actually "Bowling for Ballers" which was released after "The Dynamo Dynamic".
* In "Gathering Dark", it's revealed Dynamo has his own cellphone.
* The episode "King Axel" hinted that Dynamo wants to get his hands on the Power Bandz too. After Axel feels depressed and questioned his role as the leader of the Power Players when he's unable to pull his Power Sword out of the stone, Dynamo tells Madcap, "The Power Bandz will soon be ours! I mean, yours". However, it's currently unknown what he wants to do with the Power Bandz if he successfully steals them.
* At times whenever he gets scared, Dynamo would scream out, "Stella!".
