"We don't think we beat you, we know it."
―Troika to the Red Ranger[src]

Troika was a three-headed chimera-themed super monster that is the combination of Demonite, Falkar, and Thunderon's crystal-like forms. This monster appeared in the episode "The Cobra Strikes" and is the last monster of the four-part Cobra's Curse Saga.

History[]

After the initial defeat of Demonite, Falkar, and Thunderon, Diabolico collected their crystal-like forms and merged their likenesses together, creating a powerful monster called Troika (pronounced as Troy-kuh). Troika attacked Mariner Bay and fought the Power Rangers. Troika was a powerful opponent, taking out the Lightspeed Rescue Rangers in record time. Due to his immense abilities thanks to the combination, the Rangers were forced to retreat.

While Miss Fairweather was working on a project that can help the Rangers, Troika himself went out on a rampage through Mariner Bay. The Rangers returned during his assault and battled this fusion creature, but he was still able to initially beat them into submission. The Rangers were then equipped with the new Battle Boosters, which enhanced their abilities. With this new power, the Red Ranger then charged at Troika, and successfully punched off Demonite's sword on Troika's right arm. Troika was surprised, and distracted long enough for the Red Ranger to give him a right jab, which countered Troika's own jab and punctured his chest. As much as he tried, Troika was no match. The Rangers then activated their Booster Beams, which blasted Troika, destroying him. Tvicon TV STORY-The Cobra Strikes

Personality[]

Troika was an arrogant monster that boasted about his power and thinking that he will beat the Rangers. But he was also faithful to Diabolico. He sometimes see himself as three individuals since he used the pronouns "us" and "we".

Powers and Abilities[]

Being composed of Diabolico's three most powerful monsters, Troika is one of the strongest demons the Power Rangers had faced so far, powerful enough to overpower all five of the Lightspeed Rangers at once.

Powers[]

  • Teleportation: Troika can teleport to any location at will.
  • Tornado Spin: Troika can spin at full speed like a tornado and rush at the enemy. This attack was devastating and can hit multiple times at the enemies in rapid speeds.

Abilities[]

  • Super Strength: Being composed of three monsters, Troika is one of the strongest monsters in terms of strength, being able to rush at the Red Ranger all the while slamming though multiple barriers with out slowing down.
  • Expert Hand-To-Hand Combat: In addition to Troika's Herculean-like raw strength, he is also an expert fighter in hand-to-hand combat, being able to battle all five Lightspeed Rescue Power Rangers and avoid all of their attacks, all the while being able to counter them at the same time.
  • Durability: Troika has thick skin that is incredibly durable enough to withstand many attacks. Even the Lightspeed Rescue Power Rangers' V-Lancer Spectra Blast couldn't make a scratch on him.
  • Extraordinary Leaper: Troika can leap at an incredible distance.

Weaknesses[]

to be added

Arsenal[]

  • Demonite's Sword: Troika has Demonite's sword for his right arm to aid him in combat.
    • Energy Blast: From Demonite's sword, Troika can fire a red energy blast.
    • Mega Energy Slash: Also from Demonite's sword, Troika can charge up red energy and release a devastating energy slash of the same color. This attack was one of Troika's strongest abilities, being able to hit all five of the Lightspeed Rescue Power Rangers and de-morph them with one blast.
    • Energy Waves: Also from Demonite's sword, Troika can fire red-colored energy waves in rapid succession. He can also enlarge them to increase their strength.
    • Energy Balls: Also from Demonite's sword, he can fire red energy balls in rapid succession. Next to his Mega Energy Slash, this attack is also one of Troika's strongest abilities, as they are powerful enough to take down buildings.
  • Thunderon's Spiked Fist: Troika has Thunderon's spiked fist for his left arm, which he can also use for combat.

Behind the Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

Design[]

Troika was an amalgamation of all three monsters' appearances, with each of their faces on one side of the monster's head (Demonite's face is in the front, Thunderon's face is on the left side and Falkar's face is on the right side). It had Demonite's sword and lower right arm, Thunderon's spiked fist and lower left arm, Falkar's feet and lower legs, a green colored chest-like area in the front with Thunderon's crystal on the left, Demonite's crystal on the right and Falkar's crystal in top middle, and feathery details on its hide, abdomen, upper legs, most of its upper body, shoulders, upper arms, and neck (a reference to the trio's exploding feather scheme used in the episode "Ryan's Destiny").

Etymology[]

  • Being a demon comprised of three lesser demons, the fusion takes its name from Russian тройка (troika), loaned into English with the meaning "group/set of three".

Notes[]

  • Troika is the first monster to be fought by the Battle Boosters.
  • Troika is the second fusion Chimera-type monster to appear in the series (the first being the Cog-Impursonator).
  • Despite being destroyed by the Rangers, Troika was not shown exploding after his defeat.
  • Of the three voices to be heard by Demonite, Falkar and Thunderon, Falkar can be heard the most.
  • Troika was one of the few monsters in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue to not grow.
  • In Power Rangers Ninja Storm, the Wolfblade Conglomerate somewhat perfectly parallels with Troika, since they are both three-headed monsters that are a fusion of trio of monsters, they both can leap at a great distance, and are also the only monsters to be a Fusion/Chimera-themed monster. Additionally, they both are able to defeat the Power Rangers with ease, requiring a new weapon to defeat them.
  • Troika is the first and only Monster in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue to be a fusion/chimera-themed monster.
  • In the episode credits, his name is spelled Trika. Either this is an error, or was changed later on.
