Sorry for the delay guys, it's been overwhelming for me the past 3 weeks.
Pictures come from MegaForce Cast.
Summary:
With Creepox gone, Admiral Malkor wants some new allies. He discovers two living creatures known as "Toxic Beasts" and asks Vrak to go to earth and convince them to join him. Meanwhile, the Rangers are on a field trip in the forest and have "study buddies". Emma and Noah discover the old power plant and Noah gets a sample of the waste to take it back to the lab. Mr. Burley then screams and everyone rushes in to see. They notice a big footprint and everyone suspects "Bigfoot", Jake laughing it off. After they leave, one of the Toxic Beasts named "Bigs" was watching them with Vrak watching over him. Later, he meets Bigs and the other beast "Bluefur" and recruits them. Later they introduce themselves telling them that Vrak recruited them. They also mention that they have a hate for humans because they were made of toxic waste and the humans had a chance to stop it from spilling, but they didn't. (?????????) They also release a monster and the Rangers are beaten down completely until a robotic warrior shows up and is named "Robo Knight". He shows them what he can do and defeat the monster. It grows of course and Robo Knight forms into a headder which can combine with a dump truck to create the Lion Mechazord. It defeats the monster. The Rangers try to introduce themselves, but Robo Knight ignores them and walks off. The Rangers go to the Command Cave and ask Gosei why he didn't tell them about him. He created Robo Knight thousands of years ago, however over the turn of the centuries, he has lost most of his memories and doesn't remember that Gosei created him. He needs to re-learn everything independently and the Rangers need to assist him.
Thoughts:
Well after a handful of fillers, the story continues and introduces our 6th Ranger. It's quite good showing off this new warrior and seeing what he can do. Plus he has a good back-story and a very strong voice. It was REALLY nice to see Gosei and Tensou again interacting with the Rangers and the "Toxic Beasts" were interesting. There are 2 things that I don't like in this one. First is the whole "environmental" tagline was OVERUSED.....A LOT. It felt like a big PSA ad. Secondly, I didn't like the Toxic Beasts hating humans because they are made of toxic waste and humans didn't do anything about it. WHAT SENSE DOES THAT MAKE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Still a good debut for Robo Knight and deserves a
3.5/5
