Re: Ranger Powers
Quote:
Mystic Force powers are unclear. The Master sucked all the rangers native power out of them, but they got refilled by the population. It's unknown whether that power continued feeding them after The Master died or not. Of course at great need I'm sure Toby or Phineas would wish them their powers back... The former rangers in Once A Ranger had their powers restored by Sentinal Knight (except for Bridge and possibly some others) and it's not clear how long they last. Jason's powers in Forever Red remain a mystery to everyone. Justin's and TJ's make a little more sense as they only lost there power supply rather than being destroyed completely. The one that makes everything really confusing is Adam in Always A Chance. There he used a coin openly known not to work and it morphed him, albeit by leeching him in place of the Morphing Grid. This means that all powers may still work in theory, just with a real risk of killing the host (I'm aware that the only one to die in a remotely similar manner was the not technically ranger Niella but the point stands). As for the zord thing, most seasons are hard to say but I'll try my best. MMPR has been covered. Zeo I don't know. Most (if not all) were made after the powers but that doesn't conclusively mean they weren't linked up. Turbo Zords were lost without losing powers. In Space Zords seemed independant of the powers (there's one episode where Alpha transforms and pilots the Astro Megazord in battle - if it were truely linked to the rangers he shouldn't have been able to, also the Battilizer worked after the Delta Megazord was blown up). Galactazords are linked to the Transdaggers so it's possible the loss of the Galaxy Ranger's powers would affect them, but I would have thought it would just revert them to Galactabeasts. Most of them died stopping kamikaze stingwingers (to this day I wonder how Saban got away with that one) and it didn't strip the rangers' powers. Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force and Wild Force I honestly didn't watch enough of to judge. Ninja Storm had the powers last a little longer than the zords. I doubt it would have worked in reverse however. Dino Thunder Zords (whatever there collective name is) were grown from the same basic source as the Dino Gems and thus had a very clear resemblance if I remember rightly, but were not truly the same. A large chuck of the zords were forced to self destruct (which when you remember they're alive becomes quite a lot nastier, at least the stingwingers sort of had a choice) but due to bad porting of Sentai footage, arguments will forever wage over which ones. The only zord I thought was explicitly linked to a given power was the Mezodon Rover (the only non living one, linked to the Shield of Triumph) but each ranger had a strong natural bond with their corresponding zord. SPD zords seemed to work independantly of powers. Mystic Rangers kept their powers when Koragg stripped their Megazord Mode but they could still take their individual Titan Modes. A loss of ranger powers would result in a loss of zords for obvious reasons, except perhaps in the case of the Solar Streak Megazord, which would probably work if they could summon it. The key question surrounding Mystic Force Zords is why Daggeron's is so differant to everyone elses. Operation Overdrive's Drivemax Ultrazord and Flash Point Megazord were piloted by the former rangers in Once A Ranger. I think that says it all. In Jungle Fury Casey could take the form of the red ranger after having his Tiger Spirit ripped out, but he lacked much of the power he would normally have. RPM I'm not sure about and Samurai is still subject to change. |
