Power
Rangers S.P.D. is the 12th incarnation of the Power
Rangers franchise, the 3rd
of the Disney-era, and the 13th
season overall. It utilized footage from Toei
Company, Ltd.’s 27th Super
Sentai series, Tokusou
Sentai Dekaranger. Where “S.P.D.” stood for “Special Police Dekaranger”
in the Sentai, here it became “Space Patrol Delta”.
In the year 2025, Earth had become
part of a larger community when it welcomed alien beings to live peacefully
with humans. However, there are always those out there looking to spoil the
party. In this case, the planet-conquering Troobian
Empire led by the evil Emperor Gruumm (René Naufahu). The only thing
standing between them and Earth was the S.P.D.: an interplanetary
law-enforcement agency that oversaw extraterrestrial immigrants on different
planets and used advanced technology to maintain peace and order. And the elite
members of Earth’s S.P.D. division were Power Rangers.
The best of the best were
positioned on the A-Squad.
These five Rangers possessed the ability to morph instantly without the use of
a Morpher, had heavy armor that gave them greater endurance, and large
armaments known as S.P.D.
Enforcers. Their Zords were known as the Delta Runners: Red (Gina Varela) piloted the Delta Runner 1,
a 6-wheeled police car; Blue (Taran Howell, voiced by Nick Kemplen) Delta Runner 2,
a gyrocopter with laser barrels in its engines and a rescue cable; Green (Thomas Kiwi, voiced by Kemplen)
Delta Runner 3,
an 18-wheel mobile command center that contained the Megazord’s weapons; Yellow (Allan Smith, voiced by Greg Cooper) Delta Runner 4,
an armored truck with blinding lights on the roof; and Pink (Motoko Nagino, voiced by Claire Dougan) Delta Runner 5,
a small buggy whose sign was used to direct traffic and make judgements. The
five Runners could combine to form the Delta Squad
Megazord. The Megazord had the Delta Blaster and Delta Sword, and came
equipped with a giant Delta Morpher-activated Judgement Scanner
to determine the guilt or innocence of a subject. Detained prisoners were
incarcerated inside a Containment Card.
Unfortunately, the A-Squad seemed
to have disappeared while on a mission, necessitating the activation of the B-Squad. The
squad consisted of cadets with unique abilities of their own apart from their
future Ranger powers. The initial members were Schuler “Sky” Tate (Chris
Violette), who shared his parents’ abilities to generate energy shields that
could be used defensively or offensively; Bridge Carson (Matt Austin), who
possessed mental powers that allowed him to sense auras, limited telepathy, and
some precognitive ability; and Sydney Drew (Alycia Purrott), who was able to
take on the molecular structure of anything she touched. They would be joined
by two thieves they were sent out to capture that also possessed abilities:
Jack Landors (Brandon Jay McLaren), who could phase through solid objects, and
Elizabeth “Z” Delgado (Monica May), who could create holographic duplicates of
herself that could become solid if desired. An issue of contention on Sky’s
part was that when they were given their Delta Morphers, he was Blue while Jack
was Red. Sky not only felt he deserved Red because he was already an S.P.D.
officer and Jack was a criminal, but because his father was
once the Red Ranger. Additionally, Bridge was given Green, Syd became Pink, and
Z was Yellow. Together they protected Newtech City and,
ultimately, the world.
Among their standard equipment were
the Deltamax
Strikers, highly versatile weapons for long and short range attacks; the Delta Cruiser, a
standard patrol jeep; the Delta Patrol
Cycles used by Red, Blue and Green that were both very fast and armed with
lasers; the Delta ATV,
used by Cruger and equipped with powerful blasters; and the S.W.A.T. Truck,
a powerful armored vehicle. There was also the Robotic Interactive Canine, or R.I.C.: a robot dog that
could become a powerful cannon that could take down or imprison criminals
instantly, and was later upgraded to interact with Jack’s Battlizer mode.
They would also gain a second set of Zords called the S.W.A.T. Flyers. Classified by a number designation, 1 was Jack’s
and the fastest of the group; 2 was Sky’s,
which had hovering capabilities, high stability, and wingtip-mounted blasters; 3 was
Bridge’s, best suited for conveying dangerous goods; 4 was Z’s,
which had stealth capabilities, flares and tear-gas; and 5 was Syd’s,
equipped with a massive speaker system for warning transmission and had fire
suppression abilities. They could combine into either the S.W.A.T. Megazord,
or the S.W.A.T.
Flyer Cannon that could target enemy aliens within their own Zords or who
have been made gigantic. In times of extreme emergency, there was yet another
Megazord: the Delta
Command Megazord, whereby Delta Base could be
transformed after its occupants were removed or safely in lockdown. It could be
piloted by a single Ranger or an entire team, and fired lasers from its
fingers, Super Crime Scene Tape, and photon beams from its knees. It could also
use the S.W.A.T. Megazord as a weapon. Delta Base also had another mode, the Delta
Command Crawler, where it became a globe-traversing transport with two
powerful photon beams and the ability to carry all of the Zords.
Their commanding officer was Anubis
“Doggie” Cruger (John Tui), a dog-like humanoid member of the Sirian race;
which were wiped out by Gruumm. He was tough but fair, completely dedicated to
his job and expecting no less from his recruits. His best friend at Delta Base
was Dr. Katherine “Kat” Manx (Michelle Langstone), a humanoid feline that was the
head of R&D, the Rangers’ technical support, and the designer of most of
their weapons. Both of their homeworlds were attacked by the Troobian Empire,
and circumstances led to Kat developing Morphers for them to become extra
Rangers: turning Cruger into the Shadow Ranger and her into the Kat Ranger. She
also designed the special S.W.A.T. Mode for
the B-Squad Morphers that granted them armor and weaponry similar to A-Squad’s—assuming
they could learn to work together.
Other characters included Boom
(Kelson Anderson), a former cadet who flunked out of the Academy after only a
few days, worked as Kat’s assistant and Chief Gadget Tester, and dreamt of
being a Ranger himself (orange was his color of choice); Piggy (Barnie Duncan),
an alien that served as an informant for both the S.P.D. and Gruumm; Isinia Cruger (Tandi Wright), Anubis’ wife who
was believed dead like the rest of their species; Supreme
Commander Fowler Birdie (Paul
Norell), Anubis’ superior who looked down on the B-Sqaud and often gave
them orders that unintentionally served as a detriment to their effectiveness
and safety; Sergeant Silverback (Tui), a S.P.D. drill sergeant tasked with
turning the B-Squad into an actual team; Series One Processor Hyper
Intelligence Encryptor, or S.O.P.H.I.E. (Natacha Hutchison), a cyborg
computer programmer who became a programmer for the Theta Quadrant after the
Rangers initially got her expelled from the Academy after learning her secret
origins (cyborgs were prejudiced against); and Ally Samuels (Beth Allen), owner of a
clothing store that helped the less fortunate who became romantically involved with
Jack.
The Rangers would gain a more
frequent 6th member from the most unlikely place: the future. The
Rangers actually met him in the present first, as a young boy named Sam (Aaron James Murphy). Like them,
he had the special ability to teleport objects and was ostracized for it. This
let him be easily manipulated into helping Gruumm’s schemes until Z turned him
around. In the dystopian year 2040, Sam became the Omega Ranger (Brett Stewart)
and came back in time to help prevent the B-Squad’s inevitable loss against the
Troobians. The trip, however, had its cost: not only couldn’t Sam return back
to his own time, it also denied him of his human form; leaving him either
permanently a Ranger or an orb of energy. However, he did come with his own
futuristic gear including the Uniforce Cycle
and a motorcycle-like Zord called the Omegamax Cycle,
which could transform into its own Megazord,
combine with the Delta Squad Megazord to become the Delta Max
Megazord, or be ridden by the Delta Squad Megazord. Sam’s Omega Morpher
also allowed him access a variety of abilities, such as electricity projection,
a powerful charged-up energy blast, strength enhancement, time manipulation,
increase all of his physical stats, and had a Judgement Scanner.
Gruumm led his Troobian army on a
conquest of the universe, launching full-scale assaults against planets to take
their resources. Alone he was formidable enough, having the ability to
shape-shift, mental powers, lightning blasts, and a genius mind. His Axe Staff
was capable of firing energy of its own and allowing him to teleport through
explosions. The Troobian army was largely comprised of three types of robotic
drones known as Krybots:
the Whites, which were the primary ground forces; the Blue-Heads, which were
stronger and smarter than the Whites and served as Gruumm’s personal guards;
and the Orange-Heads, which were the most powerful and led on the battlefield. His
general was Mora (Olivia James-Baird), a powerful warrior found and brainwashed
into servitude, and later turned into the adult Morgana (Josephine Davison) as
punishment for a failure (which she hated and wanted to win back her youth).
Along with the ability to teleport and a powerful battlesuit, she was able to
bring to life monsters she drew. She often served as the snarky voice of reason
to Gruumm, providing him with excellent battle strategies that often failed due
to his own blundering. The primary weapons dealer for the Troobians was
Broodwing (Jim McLarty); a three-eyed vampire bat-like alien whose suit
provided an artificial environment for him to survive in. Along with flight and
energy blasts, he could control a rare race of bats whose bite could turn
someone into a giant. When Broodwing’s weaponry proved repeatedly unable to
defeat the Rangers, Gruumm refused to keep paying him; prompting Broodwing to
set sights on conquering Earth himself and defeating both the Rangers and
Gruumm.
While it initially appeared as if
Gruumm was talking to himself in his base, in actuality he was talking to his
boss: Omni
(Geoff Dolan). Omni was essentially a giant brain with a single eye on a
tentacle. He was heartless and hateful, though also calm and emotionless, and
possessed psychic abilities; primarily, the ability to brainwash others by
spraying a purple powder on them. Gruumm eventually used the countless
resources he stole to create a colossal biomechanical body for Omni that turned
him into The
Magnificence and gave him incredibly destructive powers.
But wait, there’s more! Remember
the A-Squad our heroes were replacing? It turned out that they hadn’t
disappeared, but in fact turned traitor and joined Gruumm’s forces to be on
“the winning side”. They used this hidden fact to their advantage in order to
infiltrate and disable S.P.D. from the inside upon their return. They also used
the Delta Squad Megazord to destroy the Omegamax Megazord. Broodwing would
eventually supply them with a Megazord
of his own design as part of his schemes.
Power Rangers S.P.D. debuted
on Feburary 5, 2005 on ABC Family (now Freeform)
where it ran for the first 25 episodes and the 35th, with the
remainder airing on Toon
Disney’s Jetix
programming block and reruns starting shortly after on ABC as part of the ABC Kids
programming block. In 2011, a Japanese dub would air on Toei’s digital
television channel with the Dekaranger cast providing the dubs. As primary
producers and writers Doug Sloan
and Ann Austen had left the
franchise, Greg Aronowitz
and Bruce Kalish took the reins
seemingly for the better. Fans praised the series for easily being one of the
most ambitious versions of Power Rangers yet. The cast was notably
particularly strong and portrayed their characters well, earning them praise as
one of the best in the franchise’s history. This was aided by the fact that
every Ranger had an entire episode dedicated to fleshing them out and expanding
on their character development early on. Communication with the fans was
expanded with the production crew actively engaging them on websites like Rangerboard. The series was
written by Kalish and Aronowitz, along with Jackie Marchand, John Tellegen, Mark Hoffmeier, David Garber, Matt Hawkins, Jesse Horsting and Stan Berkowitz, with costumes
designed by Gavin McLean and
music composed by Bruce Lynch.
Ron Wasserman provided the theme song.
Because in Dekaranger all of the weaponry featured shot actual bullets,
laser beams were digitally added to any Sentai footage with weapon use,
and shots of the Rangers pointing to the screen with bullet holes appearing
were replaced with ones at a different angle and the bullets removed.
S.P.D. marked a number of
firsts for the franchise: the first time the Pink Ranger had no skirt on her
uniform; the first time that a female Yellow Ranger had no skirt and a female Sentai counterpart; the first to have an episode
take place in Super Sentai’s home country of Japan; the first to not
only have a teammate use another active one’s powers (Jack loaned Sky his), but
to have members promoted to new colors (Jack retired leading to Sky becoming
Red and Bridge moving up to Blue); the first to have an exclusive team of
American Rangers (the A-Squad), as well as the first female Red Ranger (which
the producers had to fight Disney to have); the first where the final battles
didn’t just include monsters that grew, but also monsters that retreated to
their own giant Zord-like robots; and the first whose episode titles consisted
of only one word (an in-joke to one of Kalish’s previous series, Black
Hole High).
There were two crossover episodes
with the cast of Dino
Thunder. The first, “History”, had Broodwing
bring the Red
(James Napier), Blue (Kevin Duhaney) and Yellow (Emma Lahana) Dino Rangers to
the future to help destroy the world. However, they escaped and joined with the
S.P.D. Rangers to defeat Gruumm. Originally, the plan was for Broodwing to use
the Dino
Gems to create clones of the Dino Rangers, but Aronowitz said during RangerStop
2015 that Disney pushed for the time travel angle so that audiences
wouldn’t be confused about if they were the actual Dino Rangers. “Wormhole” saw the
reverse as Gruumm would retreat into the past to conquer Earth in a less
advanced time. Jack, Bridge and Z followed and teamed up with the full Dino
Rangers team—including the White (Jeffrey Parazzo) and Black (voiced by
Parazzo) Dino Rangers—to fight against him and the cyborg Zeltrax (Gaylyn). Ultimately,
Gruumm decided to return to his own time to avoid the hassle of having to
reconquer all the worlds he already had. Cruger would wipe both Rangers teams’
memories of the event to prevent any damage to the timestream. “Wormhole” would
be the last team-up episode to feature two complete teams of core and 6th
Rangers until Power Rangers Beast Morphers. Future team-up episodes
would feature only a single veteran Ranger or a makeshift team comprised of
veteran Rangers from multiple shows (with the exception of Super Megaforce,
which featured all of the veteran Rangers up to that point).
Unfortunately, any praise garnered for
S.P.D. was quickly dashed as it progressed. There were a number of
obvious filler episodes designed towards pushing the series towards its
conclusion that were directly adapted from Dekaranger. Kalish would
defend the use of Sentai material in an interview saying they were “paid
to translate, not tell original stories.” Interactions with the cast and crew
would also minimize as time went on as the amount of vitriol, derogatory
criticism and crass jokes began to rise. Additional criticism was levied over
the production’s refusal to pay Jason
David Frank to reprise his role of the Black Dino Ranger in “Wormhole”. And
the ambitiousness of the series became too much for Disney’s liking, as the
CGI-heavy finale ended up costing a significant amount of the budget. Disney
would make up for this by significantly slashing the budget of the next
installments and mandating they use as much Sentai footage as possible.
While the S.P.D. Rangers would
appear in future installments, only Austin would reprise his role in Operation
Overdrive as the newly-promoted S.P.D. Red Ranger from the year 2027.
McLaren was initially asked to reprise his role despite his character’s
retirement, but as he and Lahana had once dated and subsequently broken up, and
as she was participating in the crossover as well, he declined. Violette was also
unavailable, resulting in Bridge’s promotion to Red Ranger.
Jetix
Magazine in the UK ran a new strip based on S.P.D., the first to be
written by long-time Transformers
writer Simon Furman.
He was joined on art by fellow Transformers veteran Andrew Wildman, who had already been doing Rangers
strips when the magazine was known as Fox
Kids Wickid. The strip had its own running subplot about a Krybot that
became self-aware and actively worked against Gruumm and aided the S.P.D.
Rangers with a device that would take out the Krybot fleet. The strip also
ended with its own finale to the S.P.D. series, the first time one had done one
of its own that differed from the actual series. The strip saw A-Squad
brainwashed instead of corrupted, and the B-Squad had to deal with them, Gruumm
and Omni before being promoted to A-Squad status. In 2017, the S.P.D. Rangers
returned to comics in BOOM! Studios’
graphic novel Soul
of the Dragon, which was written by Kyle Higgins along with
Frank. It established that Tommy Oliver’s son J.J. was
the new S.P.D. Green Ranger, Sky’s promotion to Commander of the Earth S.P.D.
base and becoming the Deka Ranger, and Cruger’s promotion to Supreme Commander
following Birdie’s retirement. They also appeared during the “Shattered
Grid” crossover event, with a story centered on them in Mighty
Morphin Power Rangers 2018 Annual. The B-Squad Green Ranger would also appear in 2022's Power Rangers Universe #3.
As with
other entries in the franchise, Bandai
produced a line of
merchandise for the series ranging from action figures to role-play items.
A toy-exclusive was the Blast Runner Zord:
a small all-terrain vehicle with cannons that could become a blast shield for
the Delta Squad Megazord. While it never appeared in S.P.D., it was
featured in Dekaranger from whose toyline it was pulled from. When Hasbro took up the license in 2019, they
released A-Squad, Shadow, Omega and most of B-Squad as part of their Lightning
Collection, with B-Squad Yellow releasing as a GameStop exclusive.
A video
game for the Game Boy
Advance was developed by Natsume and
published by THQ (for the final time
in the franchise) in 2006. It was a side-scrolling beat ‘em up where the player
could use each Ranger in turn. While each Ranger played similarly, they had
some different capabilities; such as Blue and Green being able to double-jump
while Red had to wall-kick to reach higher areas. They each had a unique
special ability based on their respective powers (although breaking with canon
by using them in Ranger form): Red could phase through enemies and obstacles;
Blue could create force fields; Green could track energy signatures to find
missing objects; Yellow could create three duplicates of herself; Pink could
turn her hand into iron to increase her attack power or punch through
obstacles; and Shadow could create an energy blade that would hit several foes
at once. The action was broken up with a level featuring a Missile Command-like
game with the Green Delta Runner, racing levels with the Red, Yellow and Pink
Delta Runners and the R.I.C., and Megazord battle levels. In 2007, Disney
Interactive Studio released side-scrolling beat ‘em up Power Rangers:
Super Legends for PlayStation
2, PC and Nintendo DS.
The console version featured the return of Lord Zedd (Steve Blum) who recruited foes from
different eras to battle the Rangers. The future Omega Ranger (Yuri Lowenthal) recruited his
own through the Hall
of Legends, the repository for Ranger history, which included S.P.D.
members Omega, Shadow (Darryl
Kurylo), Red and Orange. The DS version featured Gruumm leading the
collection of foes, and had Omega, Red and Orange joined by the Blue Ranger. nWay Games’ trilogy of Power Rangers games
involved members of S.P.D. 2017’s Power Rangers Legacy Wars
mobile game had Red, Blue, Omega, Shadow and Kat, the Delta Squad Megazord, and
Gruumm’s spaceship as a league base, while 2019’s Power Rangers: Battle for
the Grid featured Kat (Melissa
Flores) and Anubis (Kyle Hebert)
as playable characters, as well as the Delta Squad Megazord. Power Rangers Morphin
Legends, a mobile game soft-launched in 2022 before ultimately being
cancelled in 2023, had Bridge and Charlie as playable characters.
Buena
Vista Home Entertainment released the first 25 episodes and episode 35
across five
DVD volumes, as well as three VHS
collections containing five episodes each. They also released the
complete series internationally in 2008. In 2013, the complete series was
released by Shout! Factory as part of
the season
13-17 box set, the 20-season Power
Rangers Legacy Mighty Morphin Red
Ranger helmet set, and then individually
in 2017. For a time, the series was available to stream on Netflix and was purchasable on Prime
Video. The entire series has been made available to stream on Power
Rangers’ official
YouTube channel.
