Wiz: Since the beginning of time, evil has waged war against good.
The witch Rita Repulsa dreamed of conquering the galaxy with her army of giant monsters.
However time and time again she was thwarted by the champion of light: Zordon.
Boomstick: Their war lasted for 2,000 years bringin' down entire planets and innocent alien races, until finally Rita proposed a truce.
However just when old Zordon thought he was goin' to get a break.
Rita zapped him into a time warp but before he lost his physical form forever he managed to lock Rita up in a galactic... dumpster.
Wiz: Yeah apparently that ancient looking urn is a "space dumpster".
But unfortunately Zordon knew it was only matter of time before Rita escaped and continue her quest for galactic domination.
And when her trash can prison was opened on Earth's moon it was pretty clear what planet she would be attacking next.
Boomstick: Good thing Zordon had thousand of years to prepare a fool-proof plan.
He can summon the five greatest, deadliest, most decorated warriors across the galaxy to battle Rita.
Or...
Zordon: Teleport to us five overbearing and over emotional humans.
Alpha 5: No! Not that! Not teenagers!
Wiz: Somehow, someway this ended up a being the best plan ever.
Zordon gave these teens the ability to draw power from an alternate dimension called: the Morphin Grid.
This molecular transmutation turns them into superhumans and grants them access to mighty mechanical beasts called: Zords.
Together they would be the universe's last line of defense against Rita and her monsters.
The superhero teenagers with atitude: The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Zack: Mastodon!
Kimberly: Pterodactyl!
Billy: Triceratops!
Trini: Sabre-Toothed Tiger!
Jason: Tyrannosaurus!
All together after morphing: Power Rangers!
Boomstick: ♪ Go go Power Rangers! ♫
(Several random notes sung)
Jason Lee Scott the Red Ranger: He's a fierceless leader and expert martial artist.
So obviously he gets one of the coolest Zords of the bunch: the Tyrannosaurus Rex that evaporates baddies with its laser eyes.
Wiz: Billy Cranston the Blue Ranger: isn't as socially adept as his cohorts but he more than makes up for it with his intellect.
He loves to work with machines though not are quite as his: Triceratops Zord.
With its grappling hook horns this one hundred forty ton behemoth can stop a foe in it's tracks.
Boomstick: Billy's techno-babblin' usually goes over everybody's heads.
Except for Trini Kwan the Yellow Ranger: Equal parts brain and martial arts specialist she's a threat both outside and inside her speedy Sabre-Toothed Tiger Zord.
Wiz: And Zack Taylor the Black Ranger: Is a master of his own martial art called Hip-hop Kido.
Which blends self defense with his love of...
well...
dance.
Boomstick: Yep! this kid fights aliens by bustin' the groove.
But also with his Mastodon Zord well it might be slow Zack uses its freeze blast to cover its enemies in ice.
Or saran wrap if you're short on a budget.
Wiz: Last but not least there's Kimberly Ann Hart the Pink Ranger: A smack talking valley girl who has the skies covered in her Pterodactyl Zord.
In additon to its lightning-esque laser cannons this machine can fly at two and half times the speed of sound.
Boomstick: But when five giant mechanical monsters aren't enough to stop the bad guys.
The Zords can do... Ugh just the coolest thing you've ever seen in your life!
Red Ranger: Megazord Power on!
Boomstick: Man I could watch that over and over.
In fact: I'm gonna.
Wiz: Wait no Boomstick don't push that button!
(tape rewinding)
Boomstick: And done!
Wiz: And now it's gonna loop for 10 hours at least,
Come back next week as we examine the Rangers' opponents: The Voltron Lion Force.
