Rescue Turbo Megazord
When Divatox's brother, General Havoc, captured the Rangers' Turbo Zords, the mysterious Phantom Ranger presented these powerful new Zords to the team in order to save Angel Grove. Superior to any Zord they had controlled in the past, the Rescue Zords are unique as they are the first squadron of triple-changing Zords. These Zords can transform from a car to a robot and then into a component of the Rescue MegaZord. This versatility makes them a crucial asset in the Rangers' arsenal, capable of adapting to various combat scenarios and making any evil villain think twice before attacking Earth.
Pilots and Their Zords
Each Rescue Zord is piloted by a specific Ranger:
- Wind Rescue is piloted by Cassie, the Pink Turbo Ranger.
- Star Racer is piloted by Ashley, the Yellow Turbo Ranger.
- Thunder Loader is piloted by Carlos, the Green Turbo Ranger.
- Siren Blaster is piloted by Justin, the Blue Turbo Ranger.
- Lightning Fire Tamer is piloted by T.J., the Red Turbo Ranger and team leader.
These Rescue Zords are designed after futuristic versions of rescue and construction vehicles, each bearing the number of its respective Ranger. They combine to form the Rescue MegaZord, a powerful robotic configuration allowing the Rangers to coordinate their powers and attacks more effectively. The Rescue MegaZord can further augment its power by summoning two gigantic arm cannons from the Turbo Artillatron, enhancing its offensive capabilities.
Formation and Capabilities
The introduction of the Rescue Zords marked a significant advancement in the Rangers' combat technology. When Phantom Ranger revealed these new Zords, he emphasized their superior power compared to any previous Zords. Each Rescue Zord has the ability to transform into a robot warrior, known as "high stance mode," with the press of a button. This transformation allows the Zords to engage in direct combat more effectively, adapting quickly between their vehicle and robot forms.
The Rescue Zords are stored within the Artillatron's compartments, ready to be deployed when needed. When summoned, Artillatron drives out from a holding bay and deploys the Rescue Zords, with the Rangers dropping into their cockpits to take control. The Rescue Zords' cockpits resemble those of the Turbo Zords but are more advanced, featuring a design that supports their triple-changing capability.
Combat and Strategy
In combat, the Rescue Zords have proven their worth on numerous occasions. They can transform into the Rescue MegaZord, combining their individual strengths into a single powerful entity. The Rescue MegaZord is equipped with the Turbo Artillatron's arm cannons, allowing it to perform devastating attacks. Despite their power, the Rescue Zords faced significant challenges, such as when they were unable to defeat Divatox's monster Goldgoyle. During this battle, T.J. decided to initiate the Rescue MegaZord's self-destruct sequence in a desperate attempt to destroy Goldgoyle, but this plan did not succeed. However, it bought the Rangers enough time to use the Turbo R.A.M. successfully to defeat the monster.
