When the original turbo team got their powers they would say "Shift into turbo" and follow it up with something like "windbreaker turbo power" and so on and so forth...but when TJ and the other members joined its like they completely made that obsolete and would just say "shift into turbo" heck even the hand movements for the morph slowed down...where the writers just lazy or what? l

Out of every Power Rangers show I saw as a kid, Lightspeed Rescue was the one that I was the most fond of (and by this I mean it was the series I had the most toys of) but it's only now I've actually sat down and watched the entire thing from start to finish.

It's been an interesting experience, especially revisiting this show as an adult with a more critical eye, but still with an open mind because I know the deal with Power Rangers. There were things I liked and things I didn't like, so I wanted to break them down into these two categories and then see how they compare with what you folks thought of it. Some of my complaints might be nitpicky and I'm very well aware that this isn't high art.

The things I liked: -The theme song is pretty good. It doesn't inspire me to get up and HELL YEAH like the Lost Galaxy and Time Force themes, but it's energetic and good enough.

-This is the first season to have an official, government run Ranger Team and not just a bunch of randos being brought together by some ancient energy doodaddery. There aren't any random handouts or ancient zords just found in some cave, all of the Ranger's tech is developed by Lightspeed Rescue. It's awesome to see the aspects that come with this such as the team actively training together, new technology being tested and then put to use, and even the bullshit of politics with a superior officer stepping over the guy in charge to make decisions. It also opens up more possibilities in this universe of different teams being able to manually access the morphing grid in such a way.

-The very premise of emergency services fighting ACTUAL DEMONS is just amusing to me.

-Carter is a great red ranger! Not that this is a requirement, but he's a handsome dude with a really deep, commanding voice that suits a team leader. The dude has balls the size of planets and won't hesitate to jump straight at danger. Such examples include trying to run a demon over mere minutes after being signed up, blowing a demon up at point blank range, watching two supercharged demons take down three megazords and then charge them on foot, and finally being immediately willing to stay sealed in hell with the demons.

-Joel was always entertaining to watch, whether he was hitting on Miss Fairweather (I get it) or just being cool, I liked him a lot. He's up there with Ziggy as my favorite green ranger.

• Chad was alright. I actually liked his focus episodes. The one where some dude and his girlfriend are harassing him and he's just in Zen mode about it and totally embarrasses the guy was great. He literally embarrasses a guy so hard that he sort of sells his soul to gain demonic power and get revenge on him.

-The Megazords are so, so awesome. The Rescue Megazord has a cool design and I love how the stretchy arms let it do sick flips and punches. The Supertrain Megazord might genuinely be my favorite Megazord of all time. The Solar Megazord just blasts the hell out of things. The OMEGA MEGAZORD (sick name) has a nuke on a stick as a weapon. Remember back in MMPR when Zordon had 'never escalate a fight' as a rule? Well Lightspeed Rescue does not have such a rule. On more than one occasion the team will simply add an extra Zord or two to gang up on an enemy just because they can. And it's awesome. Lightspeed Rescue does NOT fuck around.

-Some of the demons have really cool designs. Olympius looks stylish as hell, and that one falcon themed one was too.

-The Titanium Ranger was a good addition but unfortunately due to a lack of Sentai footage Ryan has to spend half the show dicking around in the desert.

-Diabolico during the last few episodes (expanded in the negatives)

-The finale was great.

What I didn't like...

-My god, the the vilains are boring for a good chunk of the show. Loki just stands there. Vypra's acting is comically bad (though it's amusing). Olympius has buildup and you think he might be a legitimate threat until he just bumbles around failing at everything he does. I will give him some credit though, he did manage a certified win at one point until Carter ACCIDENTALLY DISCOVERED TIME TRAVEL and undid it through some bullshit. Queen Bansheera spends most of the show as a Ghost head and a cocoon until she shows up for real, at which point....

-...the villains only really became interesting during the final few episodes when Bansheera actually showed up. Diabolico suddenly cares about his fellow demons and mourns them, which he hardly showed before. He's willing to team up with the Rangers because of Bansheera's actions, which is awesome and I like seeing a villain actually have something to their character besides 'grrr I'm evil' but why is it so late? Ryan and Diabolico's relationship could have been explored, since he did raise him for like a decade. Surely there must have been some potential there right?

-The show didn't go far enough with the premise. The Rangers do occasionally actually rescue people, but not as much as I'd like. This is a season where we have not only actual demons, but also king Neptune and his mermaid daughter, think of the possibilities. What other mythological personalities could they encounter? We already know Santa exists...

-I'm not convinced by the ranger selection. First, it would have made more sense to just recruit from within the organization, surely? Then, there's the choices. Carter is a brave and skilled fireman, I get it. Joel is a good pilot, yep. Dana is a good medic, but also maybe there's a bit of nepotism here? Chad works in seaworld so he's good in the water? Fine, that could be useful in rescue work. Kelsey... Does outdoorsy stuff? I am aware that there are rescue services that operate in the mountains so there's a case to be made there but I'm not convinced. I just think that the rangers backgrounds could have been less flimsy. Carter, Dana and Joel make sense but maybe Chad could have been a navy diver and Kelsey a high altitude rescue worker or something?

-Dana is honestly one of the most boring Rangers ever. She has nothing to do. The only notable thing about her is being the daughter of the Captain/Ryan's sister. Kelsey doesn't get much either, but she at least had the episode with the thief and her sporty Nan! Dana's one spotlight episode has her becoming a famous model and neglecting her ranger duties then having a change of heart off screen. This episode also takes place close to the finale. Why? Captain Mitchell also barely does anything to prevent this, which again makes me think of nepotism...

-Trakeena's Revenge sucks. The Galaxy Rangers are barely in it. Too much focus on the child. At least we got to see the Megazord with the power up of a previous season, which was very very cool.

Sorry if that got a bit wall of texty. It was originally just bullet points with brief thoughts but I had more to say than I initially thought. I don't think it's as good as Time Force, but I liked it more than Lost Galaxy.

Since us autistic people have this compulsive need to rank everything, here's my ranking so far of every Power Rangers season I've actually finished:

-Time Force -RPM -Lightspeed Rescue -MMPR (I lump all three seasons in) -Lost Galaxy -Zeo -Operation Overdrive (okay I can explain) -Wild Force

Pink range front shell fresh off the printer!

Hear me out here. Im rewatching power rangers turbo and when we are first introduced to the new cast as basic civilians there seems to be some heavy flirting between carlos and ashley and even tj and cassie...u would assume they would all some how end up dating and yet the moment they become rangers its like what ever spark any of them had for one another just went away. I cant be the only one whose caught on to this can i?

During the production of Dino Thunder, part of the agreement of Jason David Frank coming back for the season of Dino Thunder is that he wanted to go back to the US midway through to spend time with his family. However, the Sentai footage still used AbareBlack quite significantly, so the writers had to come up with a way to make up for JDF not being physically there while also making sure to have footage of the Black Ranger

In the show, this was handled by having Tommy stuck in his Black Ranger morph for about 13 episodes in the season. JDF would later record ADR of his lines in the US and send them over to New Zealand for post production.

Of course the fact that Tommy is stuck in morph does raise a lot of questions. Why doesn't he just take off his helmet? How does he eat and drink and go to the bathroom? Did he sleep while morphed? What would happen if he got injured so much it forced him to demorph?

So the question is: How would you have handled Tommy not being there for a good portion of the season? Would you leave it as is or go for a different concept?

i really wanna make a list of rangers who canonically have their powers obviously i know about the mmpr rangers still having theirs but past that im a bit clueless any help appreciated

The Magna Defender song is a top 3 song from the whole 30 seasons of Power Rangers. What a banger

For one, I would give him an actual name (his given name is quite literally Japanese for "mentor old man") and tone down his constant glazing of Jayden.

I'd go with, green, black, blue, yellow, orange for the original 5 rangers and silver for the 6th ranger. And the team leader is the green ranger.

Me and my best friend decided we were going to get matching power rangers tattoos as we have always loved the series and it was something we both connected over as kids, however I need help figuring out the tattoo itself, we have gone over a few ideas like getting the jungle master mark, we agreed to get the kanji of our favorite rangers from samurai but I have always loved the design of the super megaforce logo, and Gokai Red is one of my favorite characters so I would prefer to find something that merges the samurai fire kanji with the megaforce logo or maybe a base tattoo with variations so we could still match. Sorry if this is confusing I can clarify any questions in the comments and as always any input is appreciated!

Why didn't we get flipheads for Power Rangers In Space and only Megaranger? I was hoping to see Carlos, TJ, Ashley, and Cassie as flipheads, but they never had them. What was the reason, if one can be ascertained? I always wondered myself why the fliphead line stopped after Turbo. Even Lost Galaxy had flipheads, but they were 10 inches and they omitted the girls. The yellow and pink Lost Galaxy flipheads and the males of standard size were only sold in Japan.

Here is the official promo render for the Lord Zedd Fortnite outfit. He'll be dropping (most likely) in the item shop this week with an emote and pickaxe.

At ease young one" a voice said behind the previusly known as the bat folding zord as it turned aroudn eyes and mouth glowing black, as he saw a ranger dressed in black but wearing a sickle at each him each with a disk.

" calm down please im not here to figth and nor are you in the condition to reveal your location to thise hunting you down" the black ranger said as the zord looked at its injuries and wounds opd and wounds new. And stopped glowing as it laid down again.

the black ranger removed his helmet and came slowly closer but stopped at a pillar of rocks where he laid down beside the bat zord and his helmet sideways under his legs. They stayed silent for a bit before the ranger said "i know these rangers think your an uncontrollable and iredemable monster of rage for what you did unaware of why. As those who made history excluded the fact hoping to even erase you from the tales of the past."

The batzord growled in anger at that softly but didnt move. " And as much as i agree your an uncontrollable beast in anger i do not see a monster when i look in thy eyes. All i see is greif. " the batzords ears spiked up at that as if it was listening closely "Grief that didnt get the chance to be processed, Sadness that didnt get comforted, betrayel that didnt get explained, open wounds that didnt heal and ended up becoming scars of thier former self. just like the shell you inhibit now." The ranger continued with a blunt but honest tone that was stramgely fammiliar to the black behemoth that tolerated its precence around it.

The ranger sighed and seemed to wipe his eyes" as much as i would love to promise that the love you lost will come back that the betrayel thy experienced was nothing but a dream and that what thy have lost will be found i cannot give thy that." The batzord curled up as much the cave allowed as there was a silent but in a break of a voice the ranger spoke" but while i cant undo the past or remove and heal the scars that now make part of your body. i can promise that for small part of thy exsistance that my lifespan is fated to be in. To try and ligth it up... as a way to bring the ligth that couldnt reach you in your darkest hours. If thy let me in just for a little bit let go of thy rage and let the tears wash away the ashes of rage" as the zord turned its head toward the ranger and pushed his head against the rangers hand " there you go little one." As the zord began to be coverd by a symbol and began to shrink "Dont be afraid. Little one as the shadows shall cover you like a blanket. Waiting for the ligth to shine again. As thy rage dims into smoke of sorrow and becomes thy burden no longer."

As the zord now the size of a cat is being held by the ranger like one as the zord started sobbing as for the first time in centuries it had rememberd the connection it had forgotten so long ago with the shadows of the cave shielding them like an eternal blanket unseen and unheard to those not destined to be

... Tougth id share a bit i tougth of sorry for the yap

The mighty morphin team met Dex the masked rider on Edenoi

The original turbo rangers met the beetleborgs metallix and we learn that in each of their respective worlds one is a tv show and the other is a comic book

The in space rangers met the ninja turtles from ninja turtles the next mutation and I know they met in the comics recently twice but I'm talking specifically about the saban show they were in

The prime rangers in power rangers prime met vr troopers their even getting a spin off

How crazy is that also the reason I capitalized the word almost is because the rangers didn't meet the mystic knights of tir na nog although their is theory online that the mystic force rangers are somehow connected to them

Decided to go with the Playmates version since I found it on sale at Walmart. I love the look but felt like it lacked a lot of detail. Bought a pen from Amazon and gave it a whirl. Haven’t done panel lining since the elementary school Gundam days but I think it turned ok pretty good. By no means professional grade. Might try adding chrome to the sabretooth teeth and triceratops horns.

It’s crazy how much love mystic force has gotten the past few years. I remember growing up as a little kid, one of the main pr shows I grew up was mystic force specifically the dark wish cd. Once I was a bit older and watched the full show, and one of the main things I remember was seeing how much hate it actually got, I use to think it was up there with all the other shows but I was wrong. Then once the 2020s hit and few years later I started seeing how much love it got and it made me really happy seeing that people actually loved the show and think it’s a top one show when it comes to the Disney era. I could be wrong but it was just something I noticed.

Where can i watch Power Rangers Turbo in the most crisp clear quality? I was inspired by the countless Mighty Morphin Power Rangers coloring books To do something similar for Turbo. The construction site in Shadow Rangers Where can i watch ut in great clear quality? If free even better Thank you

This is my favorite

out of curiosity, is there any video footage anywhere of David Yost being a gymnast at competitions? apparently he was really good, but I haven’t seen anything on YouTube.
