MMPR was a programme I watched as a child. My brother liked it more than I did growing up as it was a programme geared more toward boys at the time. As an adult I rewatch it many times and I really enjoy it. My favourite characters would have to be Tommy, Kimberly and Alpha 5. I will take this time before talking about the vehicles in the series to remember Thuy Trang R.I.P who played the yellow MMPR who died on September the 3rd 2001 at the age of 27 in a car accident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuy_Trang#Death Now back to the cars in MMPR
- The RadBug: Radbug stands for Remote Activated Drivingzord for Basic Ultra Geomorphology wow that is a mouth-full. It was a volkswagon Beetle with large canisters and exhaust on it and it was built by Billy Cranston who was the Blue MMPR. It was used because the green ranger who was Tommy was at that stage evil and destroyed the rangers teleportation systems along with other controls in the command centre. The command centre was a place where the rangers could come together to come up with plans on how to defeat evil and also a place where they could regroup. Zordon was their mentor and he was basically a giant floating head in a tube and Alpha 5 was his sidekick who was a robot. The Radbug could go from 0 to 3000mph in less than 3 seconds and could fly. This vehicle was used in a few episodes
- The Shark Cycles: The shark cycles were created out of the fossilised fin of great prehistoric shark. The spirit of the great shark resided in the shark cycles. The shark cycles also had battle features. The shark cycles are very similar to motorcycles. They had a shark inspired design. At the back of the cycles there was a large tail fin. The tail of the Red and White cycles were twice as tall as the fins on the other's cycles. The front of the cycles were similar to a sharks head with pointed teeth and noses that was painted on. There appears to be a blade of spikes on the front of the cycles. The back of the cycles had red break lights.
- The Battle bikes: They were only seen in the background while of the rangers fought a monster. "They were based off the Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops and Mastodon Zords for the Red, Blue and Black Rangers respectively. The Blue and Black Battle Bikes had side cars for the Pink and Yellow Rangers." https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Arsenal_(Mighty_Morphin_1)
Fun fact: The battle bikes only had 1 appearance on screen, they were never shown in use on screen again.
Thank you so much for reading my blog post. The Shark cycles would have to be my favourite looking vehicles. I got information about these vehicles from these 2 websites here and here
