Friday Five: Top Five ‘Power Rangers’ Series

February 10th, 2017 Tamara Brooks Friday Five, Lists & Things, Loot Crate Magazine

There have been A LOT of Rangers series through the years (24 and counting!). But which are the best? Loot Crate employees voted — and here’s their favorites!:

 

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers 
The series that started it all was our unanimous #1 pick. “[A]fter seeing them first at the young age of 5, [they were] everything I wanted to be: a martial artist, a destroyer of evil, and a pilot of a giant mech,” says resident Super Fan Keith Hudson. “They instilled a vivid memory of what justice was and I ate it up as a kid. And I can’t forget the sheer awesomeness of that theme song playing before every episode.”

 

Power Rangers Turbo

Kicked off by the 2nd/last film in the TV-verse, it featured young Justin Stewart, a pre-teen who discovered the Rangers’ secret identities and became a member of team—every kid’s fantasy. Also, Zordon and Alpha 5 left and it introduced 4 new characters who…

 

Power Rangers In Space

…went into space! They took the fight to stars as alien Andros joined the team and caused a bit of a shuffle in colors (T.J. went from Red Ranger to Blue, Carlos from Green to Black). The season also featured a crossover with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

 

Power Rangers Dino Thunder

Power Rangers Dino Thunder
2004 saw the return of Dinozords and Tommy Oliver, the first Green Ranger. This time he enlists 3 teens in the fight against Mesogog. This is also one of the few series where the Rangers had active powers out of uniform.

 

Power Rangers SPD

Power Rangers S.P.D.
In 2025, 3 recently promoted Rangers and 2 street-kids-turned-recruits learn to work as a team and defeat the Troobian Empire. Their Commander is Anubis Cruger, a humanoid dog, and their tech expert is Dr. Kat Manx, a cat-person.

 

Okay, the Loot Crate staff were indecisive… here’s one more for a top six!:

Power Rangers Operation Overdrive (pictured above)
A rich adventurer puts together a team of Rangers, including his son, to collect powerful jewels before the bad guys do. You can find the 2-part “Once A Ranger” story with 5 returning Rangers (including Johnny Yong Bosch’s Adam Park) here.
