History WMG / PowerRangersRPM

[[WMG: The series takes place in the same universe as ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Reimagined}}''.]]

Fitting in with the vaguely ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|Reimagined}}'' nature of Lost Galaxy some time after Terra Venture forms the new colony on Mirinoi they grow corrupt and lose control of one of their technological creations. The resulting RobotWar results in the death of the colony world.

Earth survives, albeit barely, and time marches on. Technology hits new heights and high-tech cities like Corinth are built, but the Power Rangers are remembered as little more than myths and legends from long ago. However, Alphabet Soup is formed to make the legends into reality should Earth be invaded again, and they intend to do it by any means necessary. From here, K gets "recruited", rediscovers the Morphing Grid, and realizes just how morally corrupt her benefactors are, and so she prepares to use Venjix as her means of escape and to shut the Soup down. However, she had created Venjix from data that was salvaged from the remains of fallen Machine Empire soldiers (those that weren't completely turned to dust) which Alphabet Soup had captured and studied, and she failed to realize in time just how deeply-rooted in galactic conquest such Machines were. Venjix breaks out and easily conquers the high-tech planet with the intent to create a Neo-Machine Empire, and K creates her new Power Rangers as the planet's last defense.

[[WMG: RPM takes place in the {{Whoniverse}}]]

Near the very end of the original MMPR, Master Vile turns back time and the original Power Rangers (now children) must reassemble the Zeo Crystal to undo the effects, after which it becomes their new power source and allows them to fight the Machine Empire. But had he not used the Orb of Doom, the Rangers would have no reason to retrieve the Zeo Crystal. Once the Machine Empire comes, the Rangers are destroyed as their original powers are not enough to withstand them. Faced with no other option and with Earth nearly defeated, Zordon commits suicide and the Machines are wiped out in his energy wave ala Space's finale, seemingly cutting off all of Earth's access to the Morphing Grid.

So basically, Master Vile would ironically SAVE Earth by turning back time. RPM is what would've eventually happened had he not done what he did.

So basically, Master Vile would SAVE Earth by turning back time.

People assumed R.P.M couldn't be set in the year it was released because Dr K mentions that the Venjix virus appeared three years ago, which would clash with previous ranger seasons. Or would it? Three years back from 2009 is 2006, the year [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Mystic Force]] was released. Given the mystical based nature of the show, it would make sense that they wouldn't be hugely concerned by a computer virus, particularly at its early stages. Much like how many people didn't care much about the Y2K bug.

... [[SamuraiSentaiShinkenger and becoming Samurai.]]

Dr. K will revamp their zords into new Origami Zords from [[SamuraiSentaiShinkenger Shingenger stock footage.]] The rangers would get their respective colors, except for Gemma: the Turtle will become the "silver" zord, in the same vein that the Lion Thunderzord was "black." Not sure what would happen to Dillon if Gem gets gold. This is probably not going to happen, though. Still, imagine the zord-calls:

[[WMG: [[KamenRiderDecade Decade]] did this all.]]

******* They got super powers by touching space rocks, seems magical to me...but your right the true source is ambigious, still between technology, biology, GreenSpaceRocks, and all that Dr. K Would have a time to replicate it with pure tech.

[[WMG: The reason of Venjix desire to conquer the world was to give it to K]]
Think about it. In the finale, when talked with K, even after the events of the series and K's words to him, he was pretty polite and civilised (well, as much as can be a Machine) with her. Even more, he didn't put a finger on her when it could be ''infinitely'' easier to just kill her and stop the only person who can help the rangers to stop him. Also, why was she and Ziggy in a place ''completely'' different than the other prisoners and tenaya watching them? just like he didn't wanted her in the ''same bag'' as the rest of the people of Corinth...maybe he wanted to convert K into an Hybrid and make her the empress of the world!
* so Venjix is a WellDoneSonGuy?

[[WMG: Gobusters will be used as a sequle series to this]]
The gimic is similar and Gobusters uses only colors RPM used

[[WMG: Alternativly Gobusters will be used for a prequle series]]

* Dragonzord vs PaleoMax. Discuss.

* Time Force was the last season of PowerRangers ''before'' {{Disney}} took over. Of course Judd Lynn will dare remake it! (Give or take a few nails and butterflies...)

Most important, at least [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzNKEgi1tAM two]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXYxDHHpbN4 former]] Turbo cast members have hinted at involvement with a new PowerRangers related project.

* Or this is all supposed to happen, and [[PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force]] is keeping their mitts off this one.

** And that will mean that the RPM PowerRangers will be the last of their kind.

[[WMG: As of ''PowerRangersRPM'', the Wildzords are dead]]

[[WMG: Tenaya and Dillon are descended from [[PowerRangersTimeForce Jen and Wes]].]]

* Given the time-loopy nature and presumed IdenticalGrandson nature of PowerRangersTimeForce, this means that one of them is likely the ancestor of Alex.

This is similar to the "RPM takes place on Mars" WMG, but...different. Let's assume that RPM is in an alternate universe, and that it takes place in, say, 1998, a year after PowerRangersTurbo. In the RPM universe, the Phantom Ranger never came to help the Turbo Rangers. Without the Rescue Zords, the Turbo Rangers were killed. Without the rangers, the military stepped in and defeated Divatox and General Havoc. Fearing that there would be more aliens * coughDarkSpectercough* , the government had their top subject in Alphabet Soup create a defense program known as Venjix. Fast forward one year: The RPM Rangers lose against Venjix. Scott, Flynn, Summer, Ziggy, any other rangers, and possibly Dr. K are dead. Dillon is relying on Venjix hardware to survive. Wearing a ranger suit that can keep Venjix from hijacking him, he uses a time machine that Dr. K built based on Flynn's time manipulation powers to take seven zords (Rescue Zords, Artillatron, and the Delta Megaship) back to the past as the Phantom Ranger. Pretending to be an alien friend of Zordon, he gives the rangers their Rescue Zords, allowing them to turned the tides of battle. The military doesn't need to defeat Divatox and General Havoc, and therefore they do not have Dr. K make the virus. Alternatively, Venjix was destroyed by Zordon's sacrifice, and without the Delta Megaship and the now-deceased former Turbo Rangers' help, Andros would have died and not been able to get to Zordon.

[[WMG: Corinth uses [[PowerRangersInSpace synthetron]] [[FoodPills technology]] to supply most of the city's food]]

* King Mondo [[PowerRangersZeo invades Earth]], but is given the boot.
* [[PowerRangersInSpace Mondo is destroyed]] by Zordon's HeroicSacrifice, but Cavil/Venjix survives.
* General Venjix [[PowerRangersWildForce tries to recover Serpentera]], but both are destroyed by the assembled Red Rangers. As a former Cylon, he does what comes natural, and tries to download. It is only partially successful, and only bits of his data survive.

[[WMG: Venjix's headquarters are located in a [[MightyMorphinPowerRangers vortex]].]]

[[WMG: Venjix is [[MightyMorphinPowerRangers Lord Zedd]]]]

** So,as far as [[TheChick Chicks]] go, she's par for the course. I suppose that it would make a good twist, but it may feel to much like [[PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Operation Overdrive]]. And I guess we don't really know what technology Dr. K had back then, but I'd assume they would have regular checkups.

Some time after PowerRangersSPD the people of Earth realized that [=SPD=] was a totalitarian organization (and also that they could have defeated Grumm without [=SPD=]'s aid) and decided to secede. [=SPD=] realized it wouldn't stand a chance against Earth in open warfare, but also that allowing Earth to secede might encourage other worlds to secede. Thus, they consented to Earth's secession, but had Alphabet Soup covertly work against Earth. Once Doctor K had created the Anti-Venjix firewall copies of it were made and put on the computers of [=SPD=] controlled worlds. Afterwards, Alphabet Soup had planned to somehow counter Cornith City's defenses and release the Venjix Virus. Which would have made it look like humanity had been wiped out by the Machine Empire (thereby making it look like the only reason Earth hadn't been destroyed before hand was because it was being aided by [=SPD=], thus reducing the likelyhood of other worlds trying to secede). However, Doctor K's escape attempt caused the Venjix Virus to be released before a method to defeat Cornith's defenses could be devised.

*** Jossed hard. See ''PowerRangersSamurai''.

[[WMG: ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' takes place on the Earth of ''PowerRangersRPM''.]]

****** So would I. But if they let it go for problems like Venjix, they open the door for more unscrupulous individuals to claim desperate measures when they aren't needed for their own gain, and take over a planet. As [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Sam Vimes]] said, no excuses. No excuses at all. Once you had a good excuse, you opened the door to bad excuses. In this case, they have to let a planet like ours die quickly, to keep themselves from falling prey to bad excuses and killing a multitude of other planets slowly via economic and political domination, the creation of a dual-class society, destruction of native ecosystems, and treatment of native populations the way White Man treated and treats native Americans. It may be preferable to Venjix, but it isn't preferable to WWII, horrible as it was. Open the door for Venjix, and you unleash the potential for, essentially Space-Europe on a thousand Space-Americas. Not wanting that, they make the painful decision- the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, and, as many as we are, we are few compared to the number of beings being preserved by such a policy in an inhabitable-planet-filled cosmos like PowerRangers'.

[[WMG: The residents of [[PowerRangersMysticForce Briarwood]] are still alive]]
When they heard the robots coming, they all fled into the Mystic Realm, and shut the tree behind them. Presumably, when everything has blown over, they'll come out. Since there's so many nonhumans in the Briarwood population now, and the fact that after they return they'll be a sizable chunk of the planet's population, its the genes from those Mystics from Briarwood that, in combination with the radiation, are causing all the bizarre mutations that instigated the events of PowerRangersTimeForce nine centuries later- they aren't really mutations at all, but atavism.

[[WMG: [[PowerRangersTimeForce Ransik]] was trying to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong prevent the RPM apocalypse]]]]

* If we assume that the Venjix from RPM is the same as the one from [[PowerRangersWildForce Forever Red]], things make even more sense- he went specifically to one year before Venjix came to earth, in the hopes that he could use that one year to get entrenched, and when Venjix came, destroy him utterly so that there was no bit left to make into a computer virus. In either case, it means Time Force was effectively trying to save one city in 2000 at the cost of the entire planet in 20XX. NiceJobBreakingItHero.

One of the biggest headaches fans have had is rectifying how there are apparently TWO malevolent artificial life forms that lead empires of machines, that have interchangable personalities, and that both just happen to have the same made-up name. One was created in the future by Dr. K - the other is the highest-ranking general of the Machine Empire, an ancient and alien force that was eventually defeated around the turn of the 20th century. But consider the following: at the end of the series, Venjix survives, having hidden himself away in the Series Red Morpher. Which has a direct link to the Morphing Grid. Which we know exists outside of linear time, and can even be used to manipulate time and space (Flynn and Ziggy's powers, respectively). Suppose that Venjix found a way to escape the Grid (along with his armies of Grinders that Dr. K conventiently also teleported into the Grid), in the very distant past, in some remote corner of the universe, where he immediately resumed conquering everything in sight and rebuilding his Machine Empire. Now, let us presume that somehow Dr. K knew about Venjix's escape to the past, and he in turn knew that she knew. Given how obsessive she is, it's logical that she would dedicate her life to perfecting time-travel technology using the Grid, and establishing an organization to carry on her work after she dies: to police the time stream and, if discovered, eliminate Venjix. A sort of... [[PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force]], if you will. But Venjix, knowing his creator so well, would take precautions against being detected, such as creating a lineage of royal robots as puppet rulers of the Machine Empire, taking all the glory while he remained in the shadows, a humble general so obscure he wouldn't even appear in any historical records. Then, when said royal house is wiped out, he is forced to take over the remnants of his empire overtly, and is then soon destroyed by ten Red Rangers, including two agents of Time Force... decades later, Machine Empire technology left on the moon is salvaged by Alphabet Soup, and a young girl known only as K starts writing a new computer virus based on the coding...

[[WMG: PowerRangersRPM is a ShowWithinAShow]]
Specifically, a television show within the main PowerRangers universe. This is why the "behind the scenes" episode was so ''odd'', the villains are being played in-universe by ''actual robots'', albeit robots with much better 3 laws routines than in the show.

[[WMG: The mother Scott and Ziggy rescued was actually the [[PowerRangersSPD the Pink A-Squad Ranger]]]]

[[WMG: The Venjix in [[PowerRangersWildForce Forever Red]] is a human under the control of the Venjix Virus]]
In the last episode it's implied that [[spoiler: Venjix posessed Scott's Morpher]] Someone finds it and uses it, my guess? Someone working on the [[PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force Rangers]] trying to reverse engineer the morphers, uses it on himself and is possessed by Venjix who then uses the scientists body to get him clearence to a time machine. Travels back in time and then gets the [[PowerRangersZeo Machine Empire]] to help remodel the Ranger Red suit into a more menacing form.

People assumed R.P.M couldn't be set in the year it was released because Dr K mentions that the Venjix virus appeared three years ago, which would clash with previous ranger seasons. Or would it? Three years back from 2009 is 2006, the year [[PowerRangersMysticForce Mystic Force]] was released. Given the mystical based nature of the show, it would make sense that they wouldn't be hugely concerned by a computer virus, particularly at its early stages. Much like how many people didn't care much about the Y2K bug.

Flash forward to 2007 with [[PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Operation Overdrive]]. A much more technological team, so surely their powers would be more vulnerable to Venjix, right? Well consider the R.P.M episode ''Ancient History'', where Tenaya finds the Red Overdrive Ranger helemt in the ruins of Alphabet Soup. Let's say that when Mr Hartford released Flurious and Moltor, he had trouble creting ranger powers, so he tried to get help. For a while, he worked along side Alphabet Soup, which gave him all the information he needed to create his team, but left when he realised how corrupt the agency was. Since Dr K had a firewall that could resist Venjix, it's likely that Hartford was able to use the same kind to protect his ranger tech from Venjix. And while Venjix may be starting to become a threat by this point, the Overdrive Rangers are preoccupied with finding the Corona Aurora and so figure it's best to leave Venjix to past ranger teams.

As for [[PowerRangersJungleFury Jungle Fury]], again it's a more spirit based team dealing with a more present threat, so their reaction would likely be that Venjix was not their area of expertise.

However, despite their failure, the combined rangers do at least manage to decimate a ''huge'' number of Venjix's forces. This explains why the R.P.M rangers are able to easily beat the Grinders who supposedly ended the world. They had far less numbers to deal with. the Red, Blue and Yellow R.P.M Rangers are recruited and keep the city safe until 2010 which is when the majority of the season takes place. Once Venjix is defeated, the surviors have a full fifteen years to rebuild in time for [[PowerRangersSPD S.P.D]]. As for why the S.P.D Rangers claimed that the [[PowerRangersDinoThunder Dino Thunder Rangers]] all go on to be successful in their futures (e.g Kira's famous singing career), either the Dino Thunder Rangers survived because they didn't enter the fight, since their powers were non functioning at this point (except for Kira's but maybe hers were just damaged, forcing her to leave the battle) or the S.P.D Rangers were just lying to give them hope.

The brain drain device that was used to brainwash Tommy in PowerRangersZeo had the, likely unforseen, sideffect of making him vulnerable to the Venjix Virus. This is why Venjix had such an easy time razing the planet. However, Tommy died prior to the start of this series which is why he never appeared.

Alphabet Soup intended to utilize Venjix as a weapon but needed to pit him against the only thing that no villain had ever defeated, the PowerRangers. They built a complex computer simulation and placed Venjix, Dr. K, Gem and Gemma, and a group of people intended to use the Ranger gear K created into a simulation were Venjix was unleashed and let them continue on like that.

[[WMG: RPM is not set on Earth but on [[PowerRangersLostGalaxy Mirinoi]].]]

[[WMG: RPM takes place in the [[PowerRangersNinjaStorm Wipeout dimension]]]]
Think about it. The Rangers are evil in that universe, and Alphabet Soup was pretty much an evil government agency. Not to mention the fact that we saw the military being {{jerkass}}es at times, [[PowerRangersSPD A-Squad Pink]] is now good, and [[PowerRangersJungleFury Jungle Karma Pizza]] works with the mob.

[[WMG: The series takes place in the same universe as ''BattlestarGalactica''.]]

Fitting in with the vaugely BattlestarGalactica nature of Lost Galaxy some time after Terra Venture forms the new colony on Mirinoi they grow corrupt and lose control of one of their technological creations. The resulting RobotWar results in the death of the colony world.
