Plot[edit]
After witnessing the destruction of the Command Center, the powerless Rangers discover the
Zeo Crystal intact in the rubble—apparently dropped by Goldar and Rito Revolto. The Crystal
guides them to a portal, which takes them deep underground to the Power Chamber where they
find Zordon and Alpha 5 waiting for them. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers become the Zeo
Rangers, a new team of Rangers powered by the Zeo Crystal. The four remaining Mighty
Morphin Rangers, Tommy Oliver, Adam Park, Rocky DeSantos and Kat Hillard become Zeo
Ranger V — Red, Zeo Ranger IV — Green, Zeo Ranger III — Blue and Zeo Ranger I — Pink
respectively and Tanya Sloan joins the team as Zeo Ranger II — Yellow, while Billy
Cranston chooses to become their technical advisor rather than continuing as a Ranger.[6]
The Machine Empire, led by King Mondo and Queen Machina, enters Earth's solar system,
seeking to conquer Earth, with the Zeo Rangers serving as the only opposition. Many, even Rita
Repulsa and Lord Zedd, are forced to flee to the M51 Galaxy under the threat of destruction.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Rito and Goldar – now amnesiac – are left behind on Earth. They are
taken in by Bulk and Skull, who have them serve as butlers. Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull continue
to be members of the Junior Police Force until Lieutenant Jerome B. Stone is dismissed, when
Bulk tries winning the heart of the chief's daughter. Quitting as a show of respect for Stone, they
join him at his new detective agency.[7]
Over time, the Machine Empire wears down the five Zeo Rangers, but they are rescued by the
mysterious Gold Ranger. Though his identity is unknown, it quickly becomes clear he is there to
help the Rangers. After he is injured in battle, it is revealed that Gold Ranger is an alien, Trey of
Triforia. Split into three separate selves, Trey is forced to temporarily pass his powers to a worthy
warrior while healing. They attempt to transfer Trey's powers to Billy, but as Billy acquired excess
negative energy during the Command Center's destruction, he is unable to do so. The ultimate
successor is Jason Lee Scott, the original Red Power Ranger and team leader. This event also
sees the introduction of the more powerful Super Zeo Zords, which were used against a tougher
generation of machines. The Super Zeo Megazord is powerful enough to later destroy King
Mondo, creating a power vacuum in the Machine Empire.
Secretly returning from the M51 Galaxy, Lord Zedd and Rita seek to become top villains again.
Operating out of an RV with Finster, they restore Goldar and Rito's memories, retrieving the pair
in the process. After King Mondo's death, they launch their first plan, to use Louie Kaboom to
take over the Machine Empire. Though he succeeds, he breaks free of Zedd and Rita's control.
He embarks on his own plans to conquer Earth and destroy the Zeo Rangers. Louie is eventually
killed by King Mondo's first-born son Prince Gasket and his wife Princess Archerina, who rule
until King Mondo's reconstruction is complete and causes them to flee.
When Billy begins rapidly aging as a side-effect of restoring his proper age before undoing
Master Vile's spell in the last series, the Zeo and Aquitian Rangers race to help him and fend off
monsters from King Mondo as well as Zedd and Rita. Billy leaves Earth for treatment on Aquitar
and chooses to stay to be with Cestria. Soon afterwards, it is discovered the Gold Ranger
powers are leaving Jason and draining his life force in the process as the alien powers were not
meant for a human. Trey is still in recovery, but a risky gamble with the Zeo Crystal heals him,
restoring his powers. Rita and Lord Zedd finally get revenge on the Machine Empire by crippling
their leaders with a bomb.

from her hands and had the ability to absorb the energy from any attack thrown at her. She
could then use this energy to fire enhanced lightning blasts. Impursonator's only weakness
was her distraction, evident when she ignored a direct order from Rita to remain in one of the
Zeo Megazords and got called back for punishment. After fusing with Cog Changer, their
composite monster form was destroyed by the Super Zeo Megazord and the Warrior Wheel.

Identity of the Gold Ranger[edit]
During the middle of the series, the identity of the Gold Ranger was a constant teaser and a
central plot theme. After many episodes of speculation, with other characters like Billy Cranston,
David Trueheart, and even Eugene Skullovitch suspected, it was revealed the Gold Ranger was
in fact Trey of Triforia, a new character. Former Red Ranger, Jason Lee Scott, obtained the
powers of the Gold Ranger after Trey lost the ability to transform. Actor Brad Hawkins, who
played Ryan Steele on VR Troopers, voiced the Gold Ranger early on. Saban had supposedly
planned to use him after the end of VR Troopers as Ryan and put that series into the continuity
of Power Rangers. However, for unknown reasons (believed to be scheduling conflicts), he was
not used as the identity of the Gold Ranger, and instead Ted, Tim and Tom DiFilippo portrayed
the three parts of Trey.

In 2012, Shout Factory announced that it had reached an exclusive distribution deal with Saban
for shows such as Power Rangers and Big Bad Beetleborgs. Power Rangers Zeo was released
on DVD in August 2012, as part of a Time-Life exclusive boxed set containing seasons 1-7. The
show later became available independently of the boxed set in two volumes, each containing 25
episodes.

Comics[edit]
 Image Comics began publication of a Power Rangers Zeo comic in August 1996. It featured
scripts by Tom and Mary Bierbaum, and art by Todd Nauck and Norm Rapmund. Four issues
were drawn but only one was released before Image Comics lost the license.[10]
During the events of "Shattered Grid," the Zeo Rangers existed in their own bubble of reality and
are seen fighting the Machine Empire. Upon further revelation, it is revealed that Lord Drakkon
has taken Tommy's place and is holding him hostage. He steals Adam's Zeo Morpher to use the
Green Zeo Powers to create more soldiers for his army, and slits Tommy's throat before leaving
the Zeo Rangers' world. Later, Kat, Tanya, Rocky, and Jason are summoned from their universe
to fight the forces of Drakkon, with Adam being left behind in their world due to the corruption of
his Green Zeo morpher.
It has been revealed that Tanya will join a team of rangers formed across the various universes
in the follow up to "Shattered Grid" in "Beyond the Grid," alongside the Ranger Slayer, The
Magna Defender, Andros, Cameron, and the as of yet unrevealed Dark Ranger.
