US adaptation
This show’s suited action and giant-robo footage was re-edited into Power Rangers Turbo (US franchise season 4 (1997)) overseas. The footage does not map 1:1 to US episodes, so below we annotate only the debut episodes of mecha whose US names are sourced.
See the seam in detail →Act 1 — Five employees of the carmaker Pegasus are swept up in the invasion of the space gang Bowzock. Granted Carmagic power by Dapp, they become the Carrangers and begin fighting under the banner of traffic safety.
