| “ | Go Go Power Rangers! | „ |
| ~ The Power Ranger's catchphrase. |
The Power Rangers are the team of fictional superheroes in the titular franchise. They mainly consist of young warriors rangers in teams of 5 to 6 members armed with morphers and Morphing Grid-empowered arsenals to combat forces of evil. They also have zords, iconic superweapons in form of giant robot/vehicle that can combine into humanoid megazord.
Background[]
Mainstream Series[]
In mainstream series, the first group of Power Rangers, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, was founded by Zordon, a wise galactic sage who fought for the side of good against the forces of evil at the Command Center with a source of untold powers called the Morphin Grid.
Long ago, Zordon defeated an evil space witch named Rita Repulsa and sealed her within space dumpster which then hidden somewhere at the moon, though his nemesis retaliated by banishing the sage into a time warp in which he existed outside normal time — his only means of communication with the outside world would be through an energy tube. Around the time of preparing assets for his future Ranger team, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, he befriended a young robot created by King Lexian named Alpha 5, and became a father figure of sorts to him after having to leave his home planet, Edenoi. He also trained an alien named Gosei, the future mentor and founder of Megaforce Rangers, and placed key weapons across the solar system (ex. Mega Voyager).
When Rita was eventually released in 1993, Zordon, now only appearing as a large blue head in a blue tower of light, had Alpha brought five "teenagers with attitude" (namely Jason Lee Scott, Trini Kwan, Kimberly Hart, Zack Taylor, and Billy Cranston) and assigned them to be the first Power Rangers team called the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Though Zordon eventually perished at the end of Power Rangers in Space, his methods of establishing Ranger teams would inspire many people to do the same in a bid to combat new threats, even ones whose conflict against evil started long before Zordon and Rita's own began (ex. Animarian vs. Orgs). They even assumed mentor role as much as the sage himself — in some cases, the role was shared by two people; one being the philosophical mentor and the other being the technical genius of the Power Rangers team. Up until Dino Fury, how Zordon and Alpha 5's successors attained resources for creating their own Ranger teams, connection with Morphin Grid included, remained ambiguous since very few of them have direct ties with the two; itbwas suggested that they stumbled upon Morphin Grid by chance (ex. Dr. K from alternate Earth who stumbled upon Bio-Field which actually Morphin Grid itself) or other way around in courtesy of relics linked to Morphin Grid such as Energems, Dino Gems, and Ninja Steel.
The following are mentors of Ranger teams who confirmed to have direct ties with Zordon:
- Gosei: Being an apprentice of Zordon, Gosei is greatly familiar with Morphin Grid, and is even responsible for creating arsenals and zords for Megaforce Rangers. A testament of his knowledge best shown by giving his Rangers access to previous Power Rangers' arsenals and suits that come from different timelines and dimensions (such as RPM, SPD, and Time Forces from the future and Mystic Force, Mighty Morphin, Wild Force, and Turbo that founded prior to Megaforce's foundation) to better combat against Warstar aliens.
- Tommy Oliver: Tommy Oliver, the legendary veteran Rangers, appeared to have Zordon taught him necessary knowledge about Morphing Grid including how to create his own group of Rangers if forces of evil appeared after the latter's death. In fact, when working alongside Anton Mercer creating dinosaur-related project includes huge dinosaur-like robots called biozords, Tommy made a failsafe program so should someone abuse them for evil, their connection with Morphing Grid enable users of his newly created Dino Thunder Ranger technology to reprogram rampaging biozords and recofigure their forms into zords.
- Billy Cranston: Like Tommy Oliver, he attained the knowledge pertaining Morphin Grid from Zordon. The events of Dino Fury finally revealed the mastermind behind the existence of Power Rangers whose knowledge pertaining Morphin Grid rivaled those of even Zordon and Alpha 5 as well as their successors, Morphin Masters. Zordon himself was aware of their existence, citing this group to be the same band of sorcerers who threw the chest containing Power Eggs into the sea millions of years ago. As this group's familiarity with Morphin Grid inevitably made it enemies with various forces of evil and that some of its members were killed in a conflict against such forces, Morphin Masters shifted their focus on protecting the Morphin Grid in secret. Only Green Morphin Master who chose to broke the oath by becoming secret benefactor of various Ranger teams, being the one who summoned the army of Legendary Rangers to assist Mega Rangers against Armada and reviving Steel as human version of himself after Grid Battleforce Rangers' victory over Evox (Venjix' Morph-X-induced evolved form) among other deeds despite the risk of being punished by his peers for her troubles.
Film Series[]
For the film series, Power Rangers are clarified to be a faction of warriors armed with Morphin Grid-empowered technology formed around million years ago in a distant planet. They were formed by race of human-like aliens that Zordon and Rita Repulsa appeared to be member of.
These alien warriors' struggle on Earth began around Cenozoic period. At that time, Zordon, the Red Ranger and leader of his Power Rangers squad, were confronting a traitor from their fellow Morphin Grid-empowered warriors, the Green Ranger Rita Repulsa. Rita Repulsa sought to destroy Earth in order to uncovered an artifact known as the Zeo Crystal in there for Lord Zedd. She nearly succeeded in her mission, killing Zordon's team, only for Zordon to order Alpha 5 to redirect a meteor with the coveted Zeo crystal's trajectory onto her and her monsters. This of course also killed Zordon and left the Power Coins necessary to access Morphing Grid-empowered arsenals scattered on the planet. Alpha 5 was able to save his essence and imprint it onto their ship.
In the present day, for the first time Earth Generation of Power Rangers eventually formed after Jason, Trini, Kimberly, Zack, and Billy uncovered the missing Power Coins that enhanced their physical attributes which indirectly led them uncovered Zordon's missing ship. As the empowered teens entered, they attracted the awakened Alpha 5's attention whom immediately awakened Zordon. Discovered that the missing Power Coins returned with Earth candidates of new Rangers, Zordon sought to train them into new Rangers as he believes that Rita will return: Her Power Coin revealed to keep her alive in spite of her body become emaciated like a mummy that upon her awakening in present day, become a rabid killer who killed random civilians who wear gold for restoring her ravaged body until used all gold in a local jewelry store to regain her strength.
Characteristics[]
Though each Ranger team vary between one and another, the group typically consisted of 3 to 6 young warriors wielding both power and technology/magitek arsenal fueled by multiversal energy field known as Morphin Grid. The would-be Ranger candidates range from youths with certain qualities which ensured their capacity as potential protectors (described by Zordon as "teenagers with attitude" as he put it) to experienced adults. Once chosen, these Rangers are then guided by their mentors who provided both advice and arsenal to battle threats.
An aspect in Power Rangers in general which initially established as a random thing mentioned in technobabble to explain deus ex-machinas throughout the series' early installments before ultimately clarified to be the source of their power is the multiversal energy field known as Morphin Grid. In addition of endowing the Rangers their enhanced physiology (particularly while in their suits) and special abilities in some cases, this energy field acts as the power source for equipment in their disposal such as their Morphers and Zords. Morphin Grid also grants the Rangers necessary martial arts skills should they lacked combat training prior to the beginning of their career as protectors, an useful feature that consistently saves the lives of beginner Rangers in their first battle. The construction of Rangers' equipment can be either mystical, technological, or combination of both. However, developing a new Ranger power and arsenal that comes with it has always been a challenging endeavor which requires careful planning and sufficiently great amount of the Morphin Grid's energy regardless of its approach. For example, the development of White Tiger Coin — a Power Coin replacement for Tommy Oliver after his original Dragon Power Coin permanently drained of its energy by Lord Zedd's Green Crystal and Turbanshell monster thus disabling his Green Ranger power in the process — took weeks of planning and designing as well as shutting down the entire Command Center since it involved the use of Light of Goodness. Similarly, Nate Silva successfully developed Grid Battleforce Rangers' powers through painstaking experimentation with past Ranger Morphers in conjunction of Morph-X, the same experimentation which saw him unknowingly revived the dormant Venjix Virus within Scott Truman's old Cell Shift Morpher in the new form of Evox.
Morphin Grid[]
The Morphig Grid is an energy field which gives the power to any Ranger, even converting little kids to adults. It was first mentioned by Zordon. It was assumed and then proven in episode Once A Ranger that it gives the Power and arsenals to every generation of Power Rangers. And each team of Rangers has a specific link to the Morphin Grid. When a Ranger morphs, they use their morphers to create an entryway, and pass through the Morphin Grid to gain their powers. Once a ranger morphs, the powers that came with it are instantaneously entered into their cellular make-up, enhancing their abilities as the Morphin Grid bestowed them their arsenals.
Characteristic[]
The Morphin Grid's physical form was depicted as a large boulder with a large gem on top. This form functions like an absorbing device allowing Rangers to add their Ranger memories to the Morphin Grid. In this form it also functions like a crystal ball, allowing Rangers a small glimpse of future Ranger generations and their battles. Once a Ranger's memories have been added to the grid, it will go to a stand-by mode so only future Rangers can insert their memories. However, certain magical objects can suppress memories, such as the Rock of Time in Rangers Back in Time.
The Grid also has the power to manipulate matter, both organic and non-organic; in The Wedding, Alpha tapped into the Grid to produce some flowers outside the Command Center and clothes for Bulk and Skull when evil Alpha teleported them into the Australian Outback. In Alpha's Magical Christmas, Alpha again taps into the Grid, this time to create some Christmas decorations.
The Morphin Grid possesses some weaknesses and limitations in spite of being the universal power:
- Power Restrictions: While the Morphin Grid can bestow upon any Rangers their powers as well as giving/modifying their arsenals, it can only contain one of each certain power. It means a Ranger cannot share his/her powers with another. The issue was mentioned by Zordon who forbids the use of the second Pterodactyl Power Coin. Trent Fernandez, the White Dino Thunder, discovered that his Ranger powers become unstable as a result of creation of his evil clone that shared his Ranger powers and had to destroy the latter to fix it. This setback also mentioned by Gosei who warned the Megaforce Rangers that in spite of them now allowed to access the previous Rangers' powers, they cannot use one of those powers for too long.
- In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always, Billy and Alpha 9 managed to create Proxy Power Coins capable of duplicating currently active powers as contingency. After Jason and Kimberly got captured by Robo-Minotaur and Robo-Snizzard, Rocky and Kat are given proxy versions of Tyrannosaurus Power Coin and Pterodactyl Power Coin respectively to help combating Robo-Rita Repulsa's threat as Rangers once more. Despite Zack's worries as Proxy Power Coins and their original counterparts technically share the same active link to the Morphin Grid and that two people using the same active powers and link to the grid can kill both users involved even with precautions made in the former's construction, said Coins serve Rocky and Kat very well without much issues.
- Zords: For the Might Morphin Power Rangers group, if their current Zords are destroyed, it would render their powers unusable. When Lord Zedd first attempted to destroy the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' Dinozords in "The Mutiny", Alpha 5 managed to prevent the Rangers's current powers from being disabled due to him successfully salvaged the vital parts of their said Zords and used it to create the better Thunderzords. Sadly, their current powers ultimately disabled once the said zords destroyed. However, this weakness eventually terminated with unknown means as newer generations of Rangers still retained their Ranger powers in spite of the destruction of their Zords.
Equipment[]
Being trained warriors whose mission is to vanquish evil forces, it's not surprising that Power Rangers are armed with various arsenals which either provided or empowered by the Morphin Grid (the latter is for the case were those arsenals are man-made).
Morphers and Battlesuits[]
A morpher, one of the most famous and vital gadgets for Power Rangers.
A Ranger's traditional gadget in form of transformation trinket which allows them to assume their empowered state. True to its namesake, a Morpher's function is not merely to materialize spandex suit-esque, full-body battle suit about the user complete with helmet and access to various weapons (Zords included); it established a link between the wearer and Morphin Grid to enhance their physiology and combat capabilities while in that state thus allowing him/her to combat equally formidable adversaries. The morphing process even alters the appearance of child or non-human Rangers into the size and shape of an adult human, which makes sense considering Rangers' battlesuits typically designed with the shape of adult humans in mind. Morphers also devised to regulate energy boost from Morphin Grid its wearer use while morphed regardless of how they are created; exposure to raw Morphin Grid energy in large concentration can dangerously tear the user from inside out.
A Yellow Ranger's battlesuit.
Design-wise, Morphers typically appear as wrist-mounted devices, though some take the appearance of belt bucklers, phones, weapons, bracelets, glasses, and others. In addition of transforming, Morphers incorporate other functions such as communication or as weapon in combat relative to its design. Construction of a Morpher, which includes linking it to Morphing Grid, can be done either technological, magical, or both.
The materialized battlesuit, on the other hand, though somewhat consisted of a full-body spandex suit, boots, gloves, full-face helmet, and at times extra features such as protective vest or cape. It is deceptively resilient, as it allows the wearer to endure direct blasts and strikes that can kill or severely injure a human being. Curiously, the battle suit produces sparks upon receiving such assaults even on parts that lack metal plating, indicating it reinforced by energies of Morphin Grid that absorb much of the damage. Such quirk is not without its limits however, as too much damage would result in the suit to materialize and expose the wearer to danger.
Morphin Grid-linked talismans such as coins, crystals, swords, and staves can also be used to assume one's Ranger form, but are seen in conjunction with Morpher at hand.
A custom among Rangers when it comes about morphing into their powered forms is a morphing call, a short phrase or sequence of words spoken just before or simultaneously with the morph. The reason behind this and short phrase/sequence of words themselves vary, but at times relative to their Morphers' mechanism. Some Morphers require their short phrase/sequence of words as voice activation while others don't need such but its owners recite them anyways as a kind of vocal affirmation or battle cry. The phrase Power Up! or Ranger Up! also included by a leading Ranger while calling on their teammates before they morph at times. A Ranger's transformation can be undone either at will via. command Power Down! or involuntarily by inflicting sufficiently overwhelming damage on his/her suit.
Weapons and Sidearms[]
One of known Rangers' firearms.
After morphed, a Ranger gains the access for technological/magitek weapons his/her Morphin Grid-empowered form comes with in addition aforementioned combat suit for protection and identity concealment. The manner said weapons quickly deployed into their Rangers' hands vary; some are stored within their combat suit while others summoned straight from their base of operations.
There are two types of weapons Rangers carry to combat evil; individual weapons and sidearms. The former are unique to their respective Ranger and designed after either medium to heavy firearms or melee weapons, but nonetheless equal to another and in some cases can be combined into a bigger weapon to finish off a monster. The latter on the other hand, uniform among core members of a Ranger Team, taking the appearance of either pistol or dagger/shortswords.
Zords[]
A Group of Zords in their separated form.
Zords are mechas that mainly used as super vehicles and superweapons to fight huge enemies that ranges from commanding monsters that enlarged into kaiju proportion or enemy battleships/Zords like Serpentera. Design-wise, they are modeled after animals/mythological creatures or futuristic war vehicles.
A Megazord, Zords' combined form.
While Zords also armed with weapons for battle, they are rarely utilizing those considering their Ranger pilots' preference to combine these war machines into bigger, more effective humanoid gestalt form called Megazord. A Megazord typically composed of 3 to 5 Zords (more than either results in mightier, fortress-like combination called Ultrazord reserved for most powerful of enemies). Megazord's armaments are superior than in their split forms, often appearing as proportionally huge hand-held guns/cannon/melee weapons. As a megazord, zords’ heights are usually equals with the enlarged forms of commanding monsters, giving them advantages.
Brachiozord, one of well-known Carrierzords
In addition of regular Zords, Rangers also possess Carrierzords, bigger Zords which not only superior than the former in many respects, but also devised to transport up to 3 of them when needed. Animal-themed Carrierzords are designed with full automation whereas humanoid robot/vehicle-themed ones usually piloted.
On an interesting note, not all Rangers' Zords are actual war machines:
- Jungle Fury Rangers' Zords are actually animal spirits manifested by Rangers who mastered mystical Kung Fu arts of Order of the Claw. Upon gaining the access for the Morphing Grid, RJ, who harnessed the power to construct weaponry for his Jungle Fury Rangers, discovered the way to give his disciples' animal spirits physical form as robotic Zords by channeling Morphing Grid's energy into them, which giving them an edge against Dai Shi's forces.
- Wild Force Rangers' Zords are originally titanic beasts and allies of Animaria that infused by the power of Morphing Grid at some point in the first war against the Org, explaining their biomechanical appearance and ability to combine into Megazord.
- Mystic Force Rangers' Zords are actually Rangers themselves who harnessed the combined energy of their magic and that of Morphing Grid with a spell to assume Titan Form, transforming into giant, mechanical beings themed after mythological creatures. When their Titan Forms combine into a Megazord Form, the Rangers' consciousness are transported into chessboard-styled, cockpit-like astral plane from which they control their combined form like traditional Zords.
Teamwork and Quantities of Members[]
Arsenals alone are not enough for the Rangers to win the battle against their foes, as the teamwork and friendship are required to accomplish such feat. This was supported by the fact that their arsenals are mainly designed for doing so, increases their chance to win against their enemies. Even in some cases, should one ranger not present in the fight and their foe has enlarged into Kaiju-sized, they would likely incapable in harnessing their zords' powers in full-force.
Operational History[]
Mainstream Series (Main Universe)[]
Mighty Morphin/Alien Rangers[]
The first Power Ranger team became actives soon after Rita Repulsa and her followers released from their prison at the moon, promp Zordon to orders his robotic assistant Alpha 5 to select five "teenagers with attitude"(or rather qualities that made them fit to be Power Rangers) to defend the Earth from Rita's attacks. The five teens chosen are Jason Lee Scott (Red), Kimberly Ann Hart (Pink), Zack Taylor (Black), Trini Kwan (Yellow) and Billy Cranston (Blue). Armed with Power Rangers technology, they are ready to fight monsters that sent by Rita Repulsa.
Numerous deaths and failure of her monster warriors soon lead a frustrated Rita to adopt a new method for conquering Earth and destroying the Power Rangers: by attacking them with one of their own. Using her magic, Rita kidnaps and brainwashes a local teen whose fighting skills prove to equal that of Jason's in a martial-arts contest held in Angel Grove. The new teen, Tommy Oliver, passes Rita's tests, becoming the Green Power Ranger. Entrusted with Rita's Sword of Darkness, the source for the continuance of the evil spell he has fallen victim to, Tommy comes dangerously close to defeating the Power Rangers, especially when Rita causes a solar eclipse that temporarily drains the Megazord's power. However, the Green Ranger is ultimately defeated, and the Sword of Darkness is destroyed by Jason. Now free from Rita's spell, Tommy chooses to use his Green Ranger powers to assist the other Rangers in defeating the evil that gave them to him in the first place. His Zord, the Dragonzord, is reconfigured to enable it to help form more powerful Zord combinations alongside the other Dinozords.
In spite of the resulting loss due to Tommy Oliver's redemption, Rita knew how to counteract the problem; using a special wax that was touched by Tommy when he was evil, Rita uses a magic Green Candle to slowly remove his powers, returning them to her. In the end, Tommy loses his powers, but he prevents Rita from reclaiming them by transferring them to Jason who, feeling guilt for failing to protect Tommy's powers, accepts them. However, Tommy later returns to the team when the other Rangers' Power Coins are handed over to Rita in exchange for their kidnapped parents. With Zordon's help, Tommy regains his powers and successfully retrieves the other Rangers' Power Coins. However, Tommy's regained powers are only temporary and must be frequently re-charged by Zordon, who warns that the Green Ranger's powers will ultimately fail. Despite this, Tommy remains determined to continue assisting the other Rangers as long as possible.
Power Rangers suffer major setback once Zordon's longtime archenemy & Rita's boss Lord Zedd shows up, where his forces turned out to be more dangerous than Rita's. They even send the crippling blow on the Rangers by destroying Dinozords, resulting Zordon and Alpha to reconstruct them into more powerful Thunderzords. Worse, Zedd also managed to removes Tommy's Green Ranger powers for good, causing him lost his access to his Green Ranger arsenal and Dragonzord. Despite this, Zordon and Alpha counteract this loss by giving him the better, White Ranger powers.
During the Team Ninja Trials in Angel Grove, the Rangers become friends with three teenagers from Stone Canyon: Rocky DeSantos, Adam Park and Aisha Campbell. During an ensuing battle with Zedd and a magical serpent, Rocky, Adam and Aisha discover the Rangers' identities and, having been entrusted with their secret by Zordon himself, the three newcomers become allies of the Rangers.
Later on, Jason, Zack and Trini are selected to represent Angel Grove at the World Peace Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, and the Rangers are faced with the task of finding replacements. In order to transfer the powers of the Red, Black and Yellow Rangers, they must find the Sword of Light, which is located on the Deserted Planet. Zedd pursues them across the galaxy in Serpentera, his massive personal Zord, and destroys most of the Deserted Planet. Serpentera runs out of power before being able to finish the Rangers, and they return to Earth safely with the Sword of Light. Zordon then chooses Rocky, Adam and Aisha to replace Jason, Zack and Trini as the Red, Black and Yellow Rangers, respectively.
Sometime before the power transfer, Rita had returned to Earth when Tommy made his debut as the White Ranger, and fell into the hands of Bulk and Skull, but the Rangers sent her back into space. She later returns to the Moon while the Rangers are in Australia, and with the help of Finster, she gets a special "makeover" to gain a younger and "prettier" face. She then uses a love potion on Zedd, who is in a deep sleep during his centennial re-evilizer, and he falls in love with her when he wakes up. They get married and thus join forces to make an even more terrible threat for the Rangers, but not even this can prepare them for what is to come.
Rito Revolto, Rita's skeletal brother, comes to Earth and, with the help of a group of monsters, destroys the Rangers' Thunderzords and the Tigerzord. As a result, the Dinozords are also destroyed and the Power Coins are damaged beyond repair. Undaunted, the Power Rangers seek the aid of Ninjor, alleged creator of the Power Coins, who gives them new Ninja Coins, providing them with the even more powerful Ninjazords and the Falconzord.
An Australian girl named Katherine Hillard moves to Angel Grove. She befriends Kimberly,and displays an intense affection for Tommy. Later it is found that Rita had captured Kat and put her under a powerful spell, giving her the ability to transform into a normal cat as well as a cat-like monster. Under this spell, she steals Kimberly's Ninja Coin, vastly weakening the Pink Ranger, whose life force, like that of the other Ninja Rangers, is connected to her Ninja Coin. It is during this time that the Rangers acquire their most powerful Zords ever: the Shogunzords. Eventually, Kat overcomes Rita's evil spell and returns Kimberly's Ninja Coin to her. A short time thereafter, Kimberly gets a chance to pursue her personal athletic dreams. With Zordon's blessing, she leaves to train for the Pan Global Games, choosing Kat to replace her as the Pink Ranger. Though her initial fear and hesitation keeps her from contributing fully to the fight against evil, Kat eventually becomes both comfortable and capable of fulfilling her duty as a Ranger.
Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers[]
When Rita's father Master Vile comes to Earth, he turns back time, turning the Power Rangers, and many of their friends, into children. Zordon calls upon his proteges the Alien Rangers of Aquitar (Aurico (Red), Cestro (Blue), Tideus (Yellow), Corcus (Black) and Delphine (White)) to protect the Earth from Master Vile's monsters and to help work on a machine that would return the child rangers to their normal ages. Unfortunately, Only Billy returns to normal as the machine which required the power coins as a power source is stolen by Rito & Zedd's top general Goldar allowing Rita & Zedd to destroy the coins. The child rangers then travel throughout time to gather the fragments of the Zeo Crystal to bring time back to normal. During her journey, Aisha meets Tanya Sloan and realizes that she can do more help to stop the sickness plaguing the wildlife and sends Tanya back with her Zeo Crystal.
Zeo Rangers[]
The original Command Center was destroyed by a detonator Rito and Goldar planted. The Zeo Crystal survived and the Center was rebuilt. The Evil Space Aliens retreated to M51, because of the powerful robot conqueror King Mondo and his powerful Empire have decided to invade Earth. Using the Zeo Crystal, Zordon creates the Zeo Rangers (Tommy (Red), Adam (Green), Rocky (Blue), Tanya (Yellow) and Kath (Pink) with Billy as technical help) and new Zords to battle the Machine Empire. They fight the Machine Empire destroying it with the help of Trey of Triforia the Gold Ranger who temporarily gives his powers to Jason.
Turbo Rangers[]
When the evil space pirate Divatox plans to use the wizard Lerigot to free the Demon Maligore, Zordon forms the Turbo Rangers (Tommy (Red), Adam (Green), Tanya (Yellow) and Kat (Pink)). When Rocky gets injured in a training accident he sends a friend of the rangers a boy named Justin Stewart as the new blue ranger. The rangers defeat Maligore and rescue Lergot from Divatox, who later seeks revenge against the rangers and starts attacking them. Things change when Zordon and Alpha 5 leave earth for Eltar leaving the Rangers in the hands of Zordon's ally Dimitria and Alpha 6 and Tommy, Adam, Tanya and Kat retire as rangers picking 4 new teens to replace them named T.J. Johnson, Carlos Vallerte, Ashley Hammond and Cassie Chan. They are aided by the future officer Blue Senturion and the Phantom Ranger. Despite their best efforts the rangers learn Zordon has been captured by the most powerful of all his enemies and the chamber is destroyed by Divatox losing their powers in the process. T.J. Carlos, Ashley, Cassie and Alpha 6 head to space to rescue Zordon with Justin remaining on earth to be with his dad.
In Space Rangers[]
T.J., Carlos, Ashley, Cassie and Alpha 6 encounter an alien named Andros, a Red ranger from the Planet KO-35 who gives them new morphers to become the Space Rangers to fight against the United Alliance of Evil led by the all-powerful demon Dark Specter and the princess of evil Astronema who is revealed to be Andros long lost sister Karone. with the help of the silver ranger Zhane and various of allies, the Rangers defeat the Alliance with the cost of Zordon who sacrifices himself to destroy the Alliance and return Karone to normal.
Lost Galaxy Rangers[]
Sometime following the defeat of the united alliance of evil, a new team known as The Lost Galaxy Rangers composed of Leo Corbett (Red (after the loss of his brother Mike)), Kai Chen (Blue), Damon Henderson (Green), Maya (Yellow), and Kendrix Morgan (Pink (eventually replaced by Karone)), are formed when 5 special swords called the quasar sabers chose them to be their new wielders, and swore themselves to protect the human space colony Terra Venture and the planet of Mirinoi from evil aliens lead by the vile Scorpius and his daughter Trakeena, soon being joined by the Magna Defender.
Lightspeed Rangers[]
The Lightspeed Rangers are a Ranger team founded by Captain William Mitchell to fend off a demonic invasion led by Diabolico and their queen Bansheera. The incident behind it was a tragic one; years back, Mitchell and his children Dana and Ryan encountered Diabolico's astral form after ending up on the side of a cliff due to a car accident during which he was forced to made a pact between him and the latter to save their life. The cost of the pact was great; they survive the tragedy yet Ryan had to become Diabolico's adoptive son from that day forward and subsequently teleported into a pocket dimension within the demon general and his kin's tomb prison, though he reassured the distraught Mitchell that he and Ryan would meet again once the latter reached 20.
Having foreseen Diabolico and his forces' eventual escape from their tomb prison originally devised by Sorcerer in the Sand to lock them up, more so with him discovering Mariner Bay — his hometown — being the very place where Diabolico and his kin's very kingdom once stood at during their reign of terror on Earth back in ancient times, Mitchell and Angela Fairweather collaborate in developing Lightspeed Rangers' tech from their morphers to their very base of operations Lightspeed Aquabase.
Lightspeed Rangers gained distinction of being the first Ranger team whose powers and assets being truly man-made and therefore constructed with real-life materials. Even so, Angela Fairweather likely contacted the Space Rangers and Alpha 6 on Mirinoi for help or creative input as both still required the link with Morphing Grid to properly work and thus the team composed of Carter Grayson (Red), Chad Lee (Blue), Joel Rawlings (Green), Kelsey Winslow (Yellow), and even Mitchell's own kids, were formed to ward off the demons.
Time Force Rangers[]
Time Force Rangers were formed by police forces around the year of 3000 in response of problems that mutants caused. At first, only Alex Drake who known to be the member of Time Force officers who become the ranger (being Red), but after being nearly killed by the criminal Ransik and the past was slighty changed due to his fellow Time Force officers Jen Scotts (Pink), Lucas Kendall (Blue), Trip (Green), and Katie Walker's (Yellow) actions to went back in time to stop escaping Ransik, there are 6 rangers that active.
After Ransik and his army time-travel back to 2001, the Time Force officers set to guard him, Jen Scotts, Lucas Kendall, Trip, and Katie Walker stole the Chrono Morphers and hijacked a timeship, following hime to the 21st Century. There, they discovered the Chrono Morphers were DNA locked, requiring them to seek out one of the previous Red Ranger's ancestors to release the lock on the other four morphers. They found one, and Wesley Collins became the new Time Force Red Ranger, providing them with local accommodation and clothing in an old clock-tower; coincidentally, the clock-tower had previously been the base for an odd-jobs agency known as 'Nick of Time', giving the Rangers a cover story for their presence while also allowing them to earn a living. They remained in 2001 for (presumably) several months, defeating mutants sent out by Ransik or Frax. Eventually the Quantum Box was discovered, and Eric became the Quantum Ranger. After several battles, Ransik surrendered, and the Time Force agents returned to their time period.
A year later, the Wild Force Rangers and Silver Guardians discovered the Mut-Orgs, beings that were half-mutant and half-org that had been unleashed by Ransik. The Time Force Rangers and a redeemed Ransik and Nadira returned to aid the Wild Force Rangers in defeating the Mut-Orgs, and subsequently bonded. Their current whereabouts are unknown, though they may returned to the future.
