The thirteenth instalment of the Power Rangers Redverse written by Mad Red X 12, using suit designs from Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman. When teenagers Toby Merville, Ken Moore and Allison Watkins break into a seemingly abandoned mansion to recover a baseball, they find an elevator which they descend down, discovering that the mansion was in fact built to hide the buried Magma Base. In the Magma Base, they come across the owners and residents of the base - Otto Sparks, a ten year old genius with a allergy to sunlight, and Digit, a Ridiculously Human Robot created by his late parents to care for him. Soon after, the alien New Lunar Organization, an evil empire that enslaves planets and has set its sights on Earth, which they intend to claim as their 1000th planet conquered. Fortunately, Otto and Digit have been tracking the New Lunar Organization for a while now, and have been developing morphers, weapons and Zords that wield The Power of the Sun to fight them - with Otto and Digit already having the Red and Yellow Solar Ranger powers respectively, Toby, Ken and Allison are selected, by virtue of being the first people to enter the mansion, to be the Blue, Black and Pink Solar Rangers. After some difficulty adapting to this new responsibility, the three are able to master their new powers and battle the evil New Lunar Organization. With the aid of some surprising allies gathered along the way, the Solar Rangers battle to protect their home from the alien invaders.
The Solar Rangers:
- Otto Sparks/Red Solar Ranger: The Hero, The Smart Guy and The Engineer, all rolled into one. A ten year old Child Prodigy with a severe allergy to sunlight who has spent his whole life underground, continuing his late parents' scientific studies and building various devices. Due to his Inferiority Superiority Complex, he tends to play the part of the resident Insufferable Genius, but has a Sugar-and-Ice Personality.
- Toby Merville/Blue Solar Ranger: The Big Guy and resident Leeroy Jenkins.
- Ken Moore/Black Solar Ranger: The Lancer.
- Digit/Yellow Solar Ranger: Team Mom. A Ridiculously Human Robot built by Otto's late parents to take care of him in their absence.
- Allison Watkins/Pink Solar Ranger: The Heart, a judo student and fencer.
Their Allies are:
- Arthur G6: The team's Robot Buddy, built to maintain the Magma Base when Digit and Otto are out.
And they're up against:

Tropes specific to Solar Strike:
- Adaptational Villainy: Meadow - in Fiveman, Meadow was Dead All Along and Vulgyre was using her as his figurehead, whereas here Meadow is the legitimate Big Bad.
- Body Horror: Otto's allergy to sunlight - according to him, just going out in sunlight for even a second without his Ranger suit on will make his skin harden, bones melt and organs burst into flame. No wonder he's so scared of leaving the Magma Base! His blotchy grey skin is at least explainable, since he's never been in sunlight and is often so focused on his work that he Forgets to Eat.
- Irony: Otto built the majority of the Rangers' tech on Power of the Sun, yet he himself can't go in sunlight without suffering a Cruel and Unusual Death.
- Mundane Made Awesome: Toby's almost bliztball-esque way of playing dodgeball.Ken: They don't call him the King of Dodging for nothing.
- Running Gag:
- Otto's tendancy for flowery insults.
Otto: "YOU GREAT BIG STUPID, MINDLESS, MORONIC, MENTALLY DEFECTIVE, IMBECILLIC, GNORMLESS, COMPLETE AND UTTER IDIOT!"- Ken's inability to find the Magma Base's bathroom. In the finale, he finally does.
