Uniquely Trip is the eleventh episode of Power Rangers Time Force. The episode focuses on Trip and his belief that he contributes nothing of importance to his team on the account of a lack of physical prowess.

Synopsis[]

Trip's lack of physical prowess make him question his abilities as a Ranger. Ransik unleashes Electropede, who can drain the energy from the Rangers' weapons. Trip proves his worth by creating the Electro Booster, which Wes uses to defeat the literally power hungry mutant. After rescuing endangered kids with the Time Jet, Trip finds that he has become their favorite Ranger when before they wouldn't play games as him.

Plot[]

Trip is explaining his latest weapon idea, the Electro Booster, to Wes however his explanation is quite boring and Wes has trouble staying away through it. Ransik's latest mutant, Redeye, terrorizes the citizens of Silver Hills before the Rangers arrive to arrest her. A couple of great moves by the team make Trip feel inferior and his self doubt makes him trip up. The Rangers defeat and capture Redeye with their V-Weapons. As the crowd cheers everyone on, Trip is overlooked and feels very dejected. He feels worse when we sees a group of kids dressing up as Rangers but none dress up as him.

He decides to pump up, so he hits the gym for some training. Another mutant is brought out, the literally power hungry Electropede who almost drains the Cryo Prison. Trip tries to emulate Lucas by changing his style and hitting on ladies, which ends up in catastrophe. Electropede heads over to the power plant for lunch. Trip takes the chance to try some moves, but goofs up. The rest of the Rangers blast Electropede, but he sucks the energy, and fries the blasters. The team regroups at the Clock Tower, where Jen asks Trip what he was trying to prove. After the team leaves to find Electropede, Trip makes himself useful by working on the Electro Booster.

The Rangers find Electropede, and he sucks up the energy from their V-Weapons. The kids Trip saw earlier start playing around the plant and get themselves stuck behind some live wires and gasoline. With the weapons depleted, Electropede begins draining the Rangers themselves. Trip arrives just in time, and fires a blast from the Time Jet, separating the mutant from his friends. He equips Wes with the Electro Booster, which combines with his Chrono Saber. A blast from the Electro Booster nails Electropede, sucking the power right out of him. With a little help from Frax, Electropede grows into a giant.

The Rangers form the Shadow Force Megazord and defeat Electropede. As the team congratulate Trip on saving them with the Electro Booster, Trip gets a mental flash from the kids in danger at the plant. He zips by on the Time Jet, and whisks the kids away to safety just in time.

Later, as Trip puts the weights away he is called to the park. Arriving, Katie approaches him telling him that Circuit told the others about his plan to be more like them. However, she tells him that since he did such a great job that day now the other Rangers want to be more like him, and they surprise him by all donning green wigs. As they encompass him in a group hug, Trip is finally assured that he brings his own talents and abilities to the team and feels even better when he sees the kids are now all dressed up as the Green Ranger.

Errors[]

Wes called for the Shadow Force Megazord Mode Red, however it was the Shadow Force Megazord Blue Mode which was formed.
After Electropede is defeated, there's a quick shot of the Time Force Megazord cockpit, instead of the Shadow Force Megazord. Also, Wes is holding the Time Force Megazord Saber.
At the beginning of the episode when Jen shows the mutant her Time Force badge, she’s holding it the wrong way up (it needs to be turned 90 degrees to our right).
