'''''Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue''''' (often abbreviated as '''PRLR''' and often simply called '''Lightspeed Rescue''') was the 2000 incarnation of the ''[[Power Rangers]]'' TV franchise, based on the ''[[Super Sentai]]'' series ''[[Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo-V]]''.
 
'''''Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue''''' is a television series and the eighth season of the ''[[Power Rangers]]'' franchise, based on the 23rd ''[[Super Sentai]]'' series ''[[Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive]]'' (1999).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/05/06-1/shout-factory-releases-power-rangers-lightspeed-rescue-on-dvd|title=Crunchyroll|date=6 May 2015 |access-date=30 November 2015}}</ref>
It was the first incarnation of ''Power Rangers'' to have the Rangers' identities to be known to the public from the onset, as opposed to previous incarnations where a Ranger's identity was to be kept secret, revealed only in extreme circumstances. The series is unique: it was the first where the Rangers powers, Zords and weapons were man-made and had no mystical or extraterrestrial origin whatsoever.
 
''Lightspeed Rescue'' also had, for the first time, a Power Ranger with no ''Super Sentai'' counterpart in the Titanium Lightspeed Ranger, as there was no regular 6thTitanium Ranger in ''GoGo VGoGoFive''. , Alsowhich thismakes isit the lastfirst knownseason Powerto Rangerhave seriesan untilAmerican-exclusive ''[[Power Rangers: Mystic Force]]'' where the main villain of this series was also the main villain in its Super Sentai counterpartRanger.
 
== Synopsis ==
In Mariner Bay, [[California]], a group of demons led by Diabolico and Queen Bansheera are accidentally released from their tomb and plot to destroy the city. A government organization called Lightspeed, headed by Captain William Mitchell, recruits five citizens -- firefighter Carter Grayson, [[lifeguard]] and marine animal trainer Chad Lee, stunt pilot Joel Rawlings, [[extreme sports]] athlete Kelsey Winslow, and Mitchell's paramedic daughter Dana -- to defend the city as Power Rangers after Lightspeed successfully channels the source of their powers, the Morphin' Grid. Amidst their battles against the demons, the Rangers are joined by Mitchell's long lost son Ryan Mitchell, who was initially forced to fight for the demons until he sees the error of his ways.

==Cast and characters==
''Lightspeed Rescue'' takes place in the fictitious city of Mariner Bay, [[California]], which was built on an ancient demon burial ground. When the demons threaten to rise again, a government organization called Lightspeed, headed by Captain William Mitchell recruits four civilians and his own daughter to defend the city. Each of the four civilians chosen had a special area of expertise: Carter Grayson, the Red Lightspeed Ranger, was a [[fire fighter]] in the local fire department; Chad Lee, the Blue Lightspeed Ranger, worked as a [[lifeguard]] and marine animal trainer at a local marine [[amusement park]]; Joel Rawlings, the Green Lightspeed Ranger, was a stunt pilot; Kelsey Winslow, the Yellow Lightspeed Ranger, was an [[extreme sports]] athlete; and Dana Mitchell, the Pink Lightspeed Ranger, was a [[nurse]] and practiced medical arts. The five Power Rangers were aided by a team of scientists and engineers led by Miss Angela Fairweather, and operated out of the ''Lightspeed Aquabase'', an underwater military compound that also deters the hydrophobic demons from directly attacking the base.

'''Supporting characters'''
The five Rangers would be joined by Captain Mitchell's (long thought to be dead) son, [[Ryan Mitchell]], who would become the Titanium Ranger. Together, the six Rangers would prevail against the demon forces time after time, culminating in a final showdown where, in the Power Rangers tradition, much of the weapons and other equipment that was used by the Power Rangers over the series was destroyed.

''Lightspeed Rescue'' introduced many ''Power Rangers'' firsts. All of the members are over the age of 18 and had previous professions before becoming Power Rangers. This is the first season to have siblings, in this case Dana and Ryan Mitchell, fighting as Rangers on the same team. For the first time, all villains and menaces originated from Earth, and the Power Rangers suits and Zords were of man-made origin. The Titanium Ranger is also the first original Power Ranger, as ''GoGo-V'' did not have a sixth ranger. His design is based off of the ''[[Kousoku Sentai Turboranger|Turboranger]]'' suit designs.

==Video game==
This series also broke ties from all other seasons, starting completely from scratch, and had no references to any of the previous series, though it, like all of its successors, is still canonical with the rest of the ''Power Rangers'' universe, and features a team-up with the previous Ranger team. Although previous series began to move away from the original Angel Grove setting, they still featured characters like Bulk, Skull, and the Alpha bot; this season did not feature any previous characters. For the first time, the Power Rangers' identities were known to the public, and the first to portray the Rangers wearing the same set of civilian clothes in their unmorphed forms in each episode.
{{main|Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue (video game)}}
 
Several video games based on Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue were also developed and available for [[Nintendo 64]], [[Game Boy Color]], [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]], and [[Personal computer|PC]]. The PlayStation and N64 versions were 3D beat-em up games, the Game Boy version was a 2D side-scrolling platformer, and the PC version was actually an activity center.
''Lightspeed Rescue'' contains many references from ''GoGo-V'', the Sentai it was based off of. It is the second and last known series to use Super Sentai team-up footage for the Power Rangers team-up; the footage ''Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo-V VS Gingaman'' was used as the base for ''Trakeena's Revenge Part 1 and 2''. ''Power Rangers'' often change the terms; in this series, the term "V-Lancer" was kept intact from its ''GoGo-V'' name. Finally, in the second episode, when the Lightspeed Megazord is about to be formed, the view briefly changes to a computer screen where the audience can see a computer checking each of the Rescue Zords. The names written are Red Ladder, Blue Thrower, Green Hover, Yellow Armor and Pink Aider. These are the original Japanese names for the Zords' GoGo-V equivalents, the Kyuu Kyuu (9-9) Machines.

(voiced by [[Diane Salinger]])
 
* '''Prince Olympius''': The son of Queen Bansheera. At the beginning of the series, he was an infant called '''Impus'''. But he gained Diabolico's star power and used it to mature into his current form. This sparked a rivalry between them after Diabolico returned. Later in order to escape the Shadow World, was forced to absorb fallen monsters to gain another mutated form, was reverted back to adult form when defeated by Rangers.

His fate was unknown as he was last seen piloting the Omega Megazord in placing the six stones for Bansheera's ceremony. The Omega Megazord was destroyed, but it is unknown if Jinxer survived or not. (voiced by [[Kim Strauss]])
 
* '''Triskull''': Exclusive to the Lost Galaxy/Lightspeed Rescue team-up, he attempted to drain life energy from humans for Trakeena and tricked Bansheera's demons into assisting him. Was defeated, but it is unknown if he was destroyed since he did not explode. (voiced by [[Michael Sorich]])

* [[List of demons in Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue]]
 
* [[Enemy Foot Soldier]]s:
** Batlings
** Ghouls
 
==Arsenal==
[[Image:Prlr-batons.jpg|thumb|The Lightspeed Rescue Power Rangers wielding the Rescue Blasters]]
* '''Rescue Morphers''': Earthern technology at its finest, developed by the Lightspeed organization and given to five hand-picked individuals who would become the Lightspeed Rangers. After crying out "Lightspeed Rescue!", the Rangers open their morphers and utilize a four-digit keypad to morph.
* '''Titanium Morpher''': A specially designed morpher brandishing a solar-panel pattern that proved too much for Carter to handle once he tested it. It is currently in the possession of Ryan Mitchell, who initially used his Ranger powers to aid Diabolico before seeing the error of his ways and joining the other Rangers. Ryan calls out "Titanium Power!" and opens the panel on his morpher to morph.
* '''Battle Booster''': These gadgets materialize from the Rescue Morphers and are activated by a numeric keypad which serves to power up weapons and Zords, and summon the Mega Battle Armor.
* '''Rescue Blaster''': Each of these standard Ranger sidearms features a Baton Mode and a Blaster Mode. In addition, the handle can be detached and combined with either a V-Lancer or a Rescuebird component.
* '''Thermo Blaster''': Intense heat blasters color-coded for each Ranger. Their firepower can be boosted once a Battle Booster is attached.
* '''Rescuebird''': This weapon, which can be rebuilt to become the Unilaser, is launched from the Rail Rescue Bay whenever the Rangers call for it. When in Unilaser Mode, it fires the team's combined power at opponents. The Rescuebird can be split into a Drill, a Cutter, a Laser, an Injector and a Claw, each used for either combat or rescue purposes as the situation dictates. When separate, each component must be attached to each of the Rescue Blasters.
* '''V-Lancer''': The V-Lancers are staff-like weapons that materialize from a red V when summoned. Each V-Lancer acts as a blaster in addition to its default staff mode, by attaching a Rescue Blaster handle, and can launch the Spectra Blast to destroy enemies.
* '''Titanium Laser''': Titanium Ranger's personal weapon is an interchangeable blaster and battle axe.
* '''Mega Battle Armor''': Designed by Miss Fairweather and her brother Clark, and activated by entering "861" into the Battle Booster, the Mega Battle Armor equips the Green Ranger with a buzzsaw and the Blue Ranger with an ice cannon.
* '''Rescue Rover''': This jeep serves as standard Ranger transport to carry them to the scene of an emergency.
* '''Lightspeed Cycles''': Motorcycles used for high speed transportation. The Red Lightspeed Cycle has a detachable Rescue Speeder, which can be launched for high powered attacks.
* '''Trans Armor Cycle''': A motorcycle that can transform into body armor for the Red Ranger.
* '''Mobile Armor Vehicle''': A one-man aircraft controlled by the Red Ranger. On its first day out, the MAV malfunctioned, causing Carter's day to repeat in a time loop. The MAV was ultimately sacrificed to destroy the rogue Omega Megazord.
 
== Zords ==
{{main|Zords in Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue}}
The first Zords in Lightspeed Rescue were all based off of rescue vehicles. The Rail Rescues carried these Zords out of the holding bay, and could also form their own Megazord. The Max Solarzord was a space shuttle-zord that was piloted by the Titanium Ranger. The Omegazords were space vehicles that were also created by Lightspeed Rescue. The Lifeforce Megazord was similar to the Lightspeed Solarzord, but required the energy of the Lightspeed Rangers as power.
