** To be themed after automobiles. The next (and, to date, last) season to do this would be ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]''.
  +
** To include actor playing a villain in the opening credits (not counting the Japanese dub of ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', which credited [[Machiko Soga]] in its opening). In this case, both [[Carol Hoyt]] and [[Hilary Shepard Turner]] appear in the intro as [[Divatox]] during their respective stints on the show.
−
*This is the first season where an actor playing the villain is included in the opening credits.
  
  ⚫
** To feature a Ranger who only lasts a single season; in this case, [[Justin Stewart]].
−
*Like some recent Power Rangers seasons, ''Turbo'' roughly had most episodes whose titles were humorous and comedic puns to popular culture (examples: the two-parter "[[Honey, I Shrunk The Rangers]]" as a reference to the 1989 Disney film ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids ''and "[[Clash Of The Megazords]]" as a reference to MGM's 1981 fantasy adventure film ''Clash of the Titans''.
  
  +
** Not to feature [[Billy Cranston]], as he had left for [[Aquitar]] during the events of ''[[Power Rangers Zeo]]''. As such, it is also the first season not to feature him in the opening credits.
−
*This is the first season to use a cold open, it was followed by ''[[In Space]]'', ''[[Lost Galaxy]]'', ''[[Lightspeed Rescue]]'', ''[[Time Force]]'', ''[[Samurai]]''/''[[Power Rangers Super Samurai|Super Samurai]]'', ''[[Power Rangers Megaforce|Megaforce]]''/''[[Power Rangers Super Megaforce|Super Megaforce]]'', ''[[Power Rangers Dino Charge|Dino Charge]]''/''[[Power Rangers Dino Super Charge|Dino Super Charge]]'' and ''[[Power Rangers Ninja Steel]]''.

** Not to feature any of the original five Rangers from ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'' (not counting [[Jason Lee Scott|Jason]] and [[Kimberly Ann Hart|Kimberly's]] appearances in ''[[Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie]]'').
−
*''Power Rangers Turbo'' is the second season where the Rangers are defeated at the end of the show though this leads to the events of the [[In Space|Space]] season (the Rangers were defeated at the end of MMPR season 3, but ending of ''Alien Rangers'' was indecisive). Previous seasons didn't end with clear victory. After Turbo, every Ranger Team will end victorious, following Super Sentai pattern, with the exception of Megaforce which lead into Super Megaforce.
  
  +
** Not to feature its Sixth Ranger in its final episode, as the [[Phantom Ranger]] had made his final appearance in the episode "[[Clash of the Megazords]]".
⚫
*''Turbo'' is the only Power Rangers series to date that (starting with the episode [[Stitch Witchery]]) uses [[Eyecatch|eyecatches]] from its Super Sentai counterpart to lead into and out of commercial breaks. The eyecatches would be edited out of the Netflix version.
  
  +
** Not to feature an [[Ultrazord]] Zord combination.
⚫
*This is the first Power Rangers season to feature a Ranger who only lasts a single season, as opposed to being a Ranger in multiple seasons, in this case, [[Justin Stewart]].
  
  ⚫
* ''Turbo'' is the only season to date to feature a child who can morph into a Ranger, the child in this case being [[Justin Stewart]]. Thus far, the concept of a child being a Ranger has occurred three times in the Super Sentai franchise: [[Kou of the Howling New Star|Kou]] the Kiba Ranger (Tommy's White Ranger counterpart) from ''[[Gosei Sentai Dairanger]]'', [[Riki (Ohranger)|Riki]] the King Ranger (Trey/Jason's Gold Ranger counterpart) from ''[[Choriki Sentai Ohranger]]'', and Kotaro in ''[[Uchu Sentai Kyuranger]]''.
−
*This is the first Power Rangers season where none of the original five ''Mighty Morphin'' Rangers chosen by Zordon in "[[Day of the Dumpster]]" serve on the team.
  
−
**It would also be the last [[Zordon Era]] season to feature any Rangers who previously served on the ''Mighty Morphin'' team and ''Zeo'' team, in this case, [[Tommy Oliver]], [[Adam Park]], [[Tanya Sloan]] and [[Katherine Hillard]].
 +
* ''Turbo'' is the second season where the Rangers are defeated at season's end, the first being [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Season 3)|''Mighty Morphin'' season 3]]. This would not happen again until ''[[Power Rangers Megaforce]]''.
  ⚫
* ''Turbo'' is the only Power Rangers series to date that (starting with the episode "[[Stitch Witchery]]") uses [[Eyecatch|eyecatches]] from its Super Sentai counterpart to lead into and out of commercial breaks. The eyecatches are edited out of the Netflix version.
⚫
**Beginning with "[[Passing the Torch]]" and the inclusion of TJ, Carlos, Ashley and Cassie, this would be the first season to feature a completely new team of Rangers not featured in previous seasons.
  
  +
* ''Turbo'' is the final [[Zordon Era]] season to feature Rangers who had previously served on the ''Mighty Morphin'' and ''Zeo'' teams; in this case, [[Tommy Oliver]], [[Adam Park]], [[Tanya Sloan]] and [[Katherine Hillard]]. Of those four, only Tommy has thus far served on another Ranger team, in ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]''.
−
*This is also the last season until ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]'' to have [[Tommy Oliver]] as part of the main team.
  
  ⚫
* With the introduction of TJ, Carlos, Ashley and Cassie, and the episode "[[Passing the Torch]]", the second iteration of the Turbo team is the first to be comprised of Rangers not featured in previous seasons.
−
*This is the first season not to include [[Billy Cranston]] in the opening credits, as he had left the franchise near the end of [[Power Rangers Zeo]].
  
  +
''Turbo'' is one of the few Power Rangers seasons to keep the Sentai term for a part of the Rangers' arsenal. In this case, the term "Auto Blaster" was transferred over from ''Carranger''.
−
*This is also the first season in the series not to feature the sixth Ranger in the finale, as the Phantom Ranger had made his last appearance in the season in "[[Clash of the Megazords]]," and it would happen for the second time in Lost Galaxy's "[[Journey's End]]" (the Magna Defender had lost his powers), and for the third time in Ninja Storm's "[[Storm Before the Calm |Storm Before the Calm]]" (Cam's Morpher was stolen by Lothor).

Revision as of 19:50, 6 March 2020

PR2020 logo This article is about a/an series entry (the 3rd) in the Power Rangers franchise.


This article refers to the series. For the movie, refer to Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.

Power Rangers Turbo (often abbreviated as PRT) is a television show based on the Japanese Super Sentai television series Gekisou Sentai Carranger (translated as Racing Squadron Carranger) featuring the fifth generation of the Power Rangers.

The series is the followup to Power Rangers Zeo and the continuation of the storyline begun in the film, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, in which the former Zeo Rangers Tommy (Zeo Ranger V - Red), Adam (Zeo Ranger IV - Green), Tanya (Zeo Ranger II - Yellow), and Kat (Zeo Ranger I - Pink) are joined by Justin, the twelve-year-old new Blue Ranger (who replaces an injured and retired Rocky (Zeo Ranger III - Blue) at the start of the series), in the quest to stop Divatox, a barbaric but beautiful space pirate, from unleashing the evil of her demonic fiancé, Maligore, upon the universe. The power of the Zeo Crystal and the Zeo Zords are not strong enough to withstand this new evil, so Zordon and Alpha 5 assist the Rangers in creating the new Turbo Powers, which also give the Rangers new Turbo Zords. The show takes place after the movie.

Synopsis

After the defeat of Maligore, the Turbo Rangers Tommy, Kat, Adam, Tanya, and Justin resume their normal lives but are attacked once again by a vengeful Divatox, who has an endless supply of detonators and monsters to threaten the citizens of Angel Grove. When Zordon and Alpha 5 leave the Power Chamber to return to Zordon's home planet of Eltar, the mentorship of the Rangers falls to the spectral Dimitria of Inquiris and the street-talking and conceited Alpha 6. The Rangers are then joined by Blue Senturion, an intergalactic police robot who brings with him the "Millennium Message", which foretells events that are yet to come. 

When Divatox's mother Mama D suggests that Tommy be destroyed in order to defeat all the Rangers at once, they are rescued by four new friends: T.J., Carlos, Ashley, and Cassie. They are chosen to become the new Power Rangers as the veterans retire, while Justin remains at their side as the Blue Turbo Ranger. The plot thickens with the arrivals of the mysterious Phantom Ranger and Divatox's ruthless brother General Havoc. When Havoc steals the Turbo Megazord, the Phantom Ranger gives the Turbo Rangers new Rescuezords to help them recover their stolen property, giving them even greater power.

However, tragedy and devastation ultimately befalls the Rangers. The Rescue Megazord and Turbo Megazord are destroyed in battle with the invincible monster Goldgoyle, Dimitria and Blue Senturion leave for the planet Eltar, which is under attack from evil forces, and the Power Chamber is invaded and destroyed by Divatox's armies. Divatox's victory is cut short when she is contacted by a messenger of Dark Specter, who orders her to leave for the Cimmerian Planet.

As the Rangers overhear, they realize that they need to follow Divatox. Arriving at NASADA, the Rangers commandeer a space shuttle and launch it in pursuit, though Justin does not go with them as he wishes to remain on Earth with his father. The story continues... with Power Rangers in Space!!
