The Power Transfer is the episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers where Jason, Zack and Trini leave for a peace conference in Switzerland and transfer their powers to Rocky, Adam, and Aisha.

Synopsis

Jason, Zack, and Trini are chosen for the World Peace Conference in Switzerland. This means the Power Rangers are going to need a trio of replacements. But first, in order to transfer the powers to anyone else, our six heroes must travel across the galaxy, to a place called the Deserted Planet.

There, they attempt to locate the fabled Sword of Light. The Rangers aren't alone on the Deserted Planet, as Lord Zedd & Goldar have followed in their very own, massive evil Zord, called Serpentera. So big, it not only can crush the Red Dragon Thunderzord & Tor the Shuttlezord in one of its clawed feet, but it does just that!

Back on Earth, to prevent Zordon from choosing any replacements, Baboo & Squatt activate the Sleep Machine, which knocks out most of Angel Grove. Rocky, Adam, and Aisha (having recently transferred to Angel Grove High School from Stone Canyon for reasons never disclosed) are spared, and try to destroy the machine, only to end up captured by Putties.

Elsewhere, just when the Power Rangers locate the Sword of Light, Zedd fires Serpentera's laser-breath, thus obliterating most of the Deserted Planet.

Rocky, Adam, and Aisha face the same slumbering fate as the rest of the city, until Adam's soccer skills helps to take out the Sleep Machine. Meanwhile, across the galaxy, the Power Rangers barely manage to snag the Sword of Light and teleport away before the entire Deserted Planet is melted into slag by Lord Zedd's Zord, Serpentera.

Now able to complete the Power Transfer, the replacement Rangers, Rocky, Adam, & Aisha, are infused with the Red, Black, Yellow and Rangers energies, respectively. Their first mission comes instantly, as Zedd sends his latest monster, Silver Horns, down to attack the city.

As if the Thunderzords didn't have enough trouble, Serpentera returns, but thanks to its blowing up of the Deserted Planet and round trips across the universe, it quickly runs out of energy and retreats. Jason, Zack, and Trini depart to the airport, with their former teammates and former best friends watching from VERY afar on the Viewing Globe.

Notes

• Footage of Jason (Austin St. John), Trini (Thuy Trang), and Zack (Walter Emmanuel Jones) for this episode is recycled from both parts of "Green No More", "Welcome to Venus Island", and "Bloom of Doom".
• This episode features the most Rangers from a single team morphed at one time, weighing in at nine (Tommy, Kim, Billy, Jason, Trini, Zack, Aisha, Rocky, and Adam).
• Tommy wears absolutely no white in this episode or next due to the footage recycling.
• After the three Ranger teens are announced as the Angel Grove representatives to the Peace Summit, the TV repeats dialogue that had preceded the announcement.
• Zack's hair is back to a Hi-top fade haircut instead of the dreadlocks that Walter Jones had at the time due to footage recycling.
• Tommy, Kimberly and Billy meet up with Jason, Zack and Trini during sunset to conceal the fact that their actors had already left the show.
• The Silverhorns suit would later be repainted green and have a long tongue inserted for the Repellator monster in "A Friend in Need"
• Zack & Trini would be mentioned in Lights, Camera, Action & one last time in The Great Bookala Escape as they wrote a letter discussing the Peace Conference. Jason would be mentioned both times as well, but he would return in Power Rangers Zeo.
• This episode is the only time Zack and Trini's surnames are given.
• Sending Squat and Baboo to Earth to put its people to sleep is the first time Lord Zedd gives them anything to do since taking over in "The Mutiny".
• This episode was produced right after Rangers Back in Time.

Errors

• The news announcer gives Jason's name as "Jason Lee", rather than his full surname Lee Scott.
• Zordon introduced Tor to the Rangers, despite the fact that the Rangers already used him against giant Four Head, in "A Monster of Global Proportions".
• Zordon states that the Deserted Planet is "light years away", and Goldar reports that the Rangers are teleporting there "at lightspeed". Since a light year is the distance which can be covered in one year at lightspeed, it would take the Rangers several years to arrive.

Quotes

Goldar: I am sure this will be of interest to you, my lord. My sources have confirmed that the Power Rangers have left Earth. They're teleporting to the Farthest Galaxy at lightspeed.

Lord Zedd: The Farthest Galaxy?! What could they be possibly going there for?!

Squat: Maybe a vacation?

Lord Zedd: When I want your opinion, I'll give it to you!

(after the Thunderzord Assault Team flies past Serpentera)

Lord Zedd: What was that, a mosquito?

Lord Zedd: Where are they?!

Goldar: Uh...they were over there!

Lord Zedd: "Were"? You'd lose your brains if you weren't sitting on them!

Lord Zedd: You told me the Rangers didn't make it out in time!

Goldar: They must have escaped!

Lord Zedd: Brilliant deduction, my pea-brained friend!

(to Goldar, inside the depowered Serpentera)

Lord Zedd: Do we have power yet, Thomas Edison?!
