Morphin Grid Spotlight this Episode
Divatox
A crimson comet of piracy and poison, Divatox arrives with a crown of fire and a trail of shattered worlds. Her laughter is gunpowder and salt, promising vengeance carved from stolen treasure and broken promises. When she pilots her flagship into the void, hope is reduced to sparks against an ocean of conquest.
Rygog
Iron-clad and silent until the moment of impact, Rygog moves like a siege engine given life and purpose. His loyalty is a hammer that crushes anything between him and Divatox’s orders, leaving echoes of shattered resistance. Facing him is like facing a mountain that decided to wear armor and take your name.
Elgar
A squid-faced opportunist who grins through the chaos he creates, Elgar slips between calamity and comedy like a shadow with a crooked smile. He plots with the desperate charm of a street magician, then watches his schemes unravel into gloriously loud disasters. Behind every misfire, his ambition flares—hungry for the one big score that will finally make him feared.
Porto
Porto is a genius craftsman whose monsters and inventions whisper of inevitability and doom. He builds nightmares with the calm precision of a surgeon, each gear a verdict and each circuit a trap. He's often disgraced by the rest of the crew.
Piranhatrons
The Piranhatrons are Divatox’s relentless foot soldiers, swarming the battlefield with their fishlike ferocity and crude weaponry. Trained in hammers, spears, and energy-blasting gauntlets, they overwhelm the Turbo Rangers with sheer numbers and chaotic aggression. Whether emerging from the depths or teleporting in with a watery shimmer, these aquatic marauders embody the unpredictable menace of Divatox’s pirate crew.
Turbozords
The Turbozords roar onto the battlefield—sleek, vehicular giants that transform from high-octane race machines into towering defenders. Piloted by the Turbo Rangers, each zord brings a devastation to Divatox' crew and combines to form the unstoppable Turbo Megazord. Bright chrome, blazing colors, and turbocharged weapons turn every street into a high-speed arena.
Turbo Megazord
Turbo Megazord bursts into battle as a towering fusion of five high-octane Turbozords, a chrome-and-color colossus built for speed and impact. Its Turbo Megazord Saber and turbocharged finishing Spinout turn streets into a cyclone of blades and energy, delivering decisive, high-velocity justice.
Trivia for this Episode
This is the 10th Power Rangers episode to have no Sentai footage adapted in.
Unlike the 1995 movie, the 1997 Turbo movie directly links to this premiere.
Editor's Notes
As a bonus, here's the "Weird Week" promos that aired in February 1997 on Fox Kids, and was our first look at this Divatox actress.
