Power Rangers RPM/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* From "The Road to Corinth":

** The introduction. Soldiers battle it out with Grinders and Venjix attack drones as Colonel Mason Truman stands there observing the battle with explosions being reflected by his sunglasses. Corporal Hicks comes up to him in a panic, and he tells the soldier to calm down. His entrance alone defines him as a [[Colonel Badass]], and a [[Memetic Badass]] at that, as fans have rightly called him [[Fan Nickname|Mason Effin' Truman]] from then on.

'''Cpl. Hicks''': Sir, yes, sir. }}

** This gets augmented with Flynn's, Scott's, and Summer's introductions, which get expanded in their [[Day in The Limelight]] episodes.

* From "Rain":

** Dr. K's explanation of how the Ranger Series technology came into being, along with the discovery of a "universal bio-electric field" which may well be the Morphing Grid alluded to in several ''[[Power Rangers]]'' seasons. Of course, this also contains a moment of serious [[Lampshade Hanging]] which has become subject to [[Memetic Mutation]].

'''Dr. K''': THAT IS NOT SPANDEX! }}

** Dillon's first moments as Ranger Black? He tells the rest of the Rangers to take care of the giant sized MOTW while he fights the Grinders. Flynn then says "there must be hundreds of them." Dillon's response? "I know. Venjix should have sent more." Dillon spends the rest of the episode defeating the army of "hundreds of grinders." By the end of the episode, he made a pile of scrap metal leftovers from the Grinders.

* From "Ranger Green":

** Ziggy takes the black market medicine and gives it to the orphanage filled with sick children. This moment is followed by Ziggy standing up to Fresno Bob and the cartels. This is the moment the viewer realises that Ziggy, the [[Plucky Comic Relief]], is the perfect person to be a Power Ranger.

'''Ziggy''': All you need to know, Bob, is that I would do it again. }}

** Dr. K also gets one by coming to Ziggy's rescue, armed with her oversized sound cannon that had been untested at that point.

** Also from "Ranger Yellow", Summer got two in her flashbacks. First, when her butler Andrews was fatally shot by grinders, Summer (who throughout her flashbacks was shown as a spoiled rich kid who depended on money) stepped up to the plate and kicked metal butt to [[Berserk Button|avenge her butler's sacrifice]] while wearing a red dress. And I'll point out again a normal person was killed onscreen on Power Rangers, and a Disney Power Rangers at that. The ending of that scene is a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] with Summer and Andrews' goodbye. Moving forward, the second flashback [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] is when Summer hopped on a motorcycle, gave up her pampered lifestyle for good, and went out of the safety of Corinth to rescue Scott, who she didn't even know at the time.

** Dr. K gets one as well. Tenaya 7 confronts her while the Rangers fight the camera attack bot. She then proceeds to pick up a violin that had been plugged into an amp. In an [[Oh Crap]] moment, Tenaya 7 realizes that she's standing right in front of a large array of speakers. Dr. K plays a loud chord, knocking her from the platform.

'''Tenaya''' (noticing she's standing in front of floor-to-ceiling speakers): "You ''are'' smart." }}

* From "Ranger Blue":

** The opening has the Q&A session with Dr. K involving Zords with "big, googly anime eyes," unnecessary morphing explosions (one in particular which becomes an actual plot point), and the necessity of shouting morph calls. It's serious [[Lampshade Hanging]] on things typically taken for granted in the Rangerverse.

** Of course, there's this little exchange:

'''Flynn:''' [[Bonnie Scotland|Ah'm Scottish!]] }}

** In the final flashback, Flynn takes a bus to rescue a little girl and anyone he could and fighting a few grinders barehanded, and slapping the bus door on one, cutting it in half.

*** The Rangers form the Zenith Megazord for the first time. After so much tragedy, it provided a triumphant moment for the Rangers and for Dr. K.

*** Then, Dr. K fends off Tenaya 7 with her violin revving up the lab's ventilation systems. The music she plays provides the soundtrack to the Zenith Megazord's finishing attack instead of the standard rock music typically used in a battle sequence. This falls under [[Crowning Music of Awesome]].

'''Tenaya 7''' [covering ears]: [[Oh, No, Not Again|Not the violin again!]] }}

* From "Blitz": After Dillon gets thrown from a building, without a moment's hesitation, Ziggy jumps off the building after him, morphs in mid-air, and uses his teleportation ability to first catch up to Dillon & then get them to the ground without dying.

* From "Ancient History":

** Colonel Truman has found out that Dr. K created Venjix. Out for blood, he sends out his entire military force after her. She tricks the soldiers into following multiple holograms of herself while she finds a hiding place in Corinth HQ.

** After the Colonel does find her, they share a [[Tear Jerker]] moment which leads to him granting her a full pardon at the end of the episode.

* From "Beyond A Doubt": The reveal of the RPM Ultrazord. Turns out {{spoiler|for all the hacking Shifter did on the Paleozord,}} it ultimately made it compatible with the other zords and allowed them to combine all 12 of them. And it lived [[Humongous Mecha|up to the name.]]
