706-LOrn
When Maya and Kendrix were attacked in the Forest Dome while investigating energy
readings (having left from the Megaship
after detecting three lifeforms, according to a cut scene from the
preview after 705-Hmsk), the three guys drove
up on new Astro Cycles.
The Astro Cycles were three motorcycles shaped to
resemble their owners' respective Galactabeast animals: the red Lion, green Condor, and
blue Gorilla.
Driving up, the three cycles shot Stingwingers with Ranger-colored lasers from dual
cannons located beneath the front animal heads after the eyes had
glowed.
When Kendrix asked
about the bikes, Leo introduced them as their new
Astro Cycles.
It's unknown why
cycles only existed for the three male Rangers.
711-SiSl
After Chillyfish had frozen all of Terra Venture and the Megaship, the Astro Cycles had no power;
everything would return to normal following the monster's destruction.
The Astro Cycles were stored in a room
independent from the Jet Jammer bay.
720-LGb2
As the teens tried to
think of a way to combat Deviot's evil Zords without their own Zords, Damon
finished a sheet of calculations, saying the best they could do was to
combine the lasers of their Astro Cycles, the phases of which added up
to a pretty mean blast.
Leo thought to set an Astro
Cycle on overload and launch it into the evil Zords, visualizing himself driving his
Astro Cycle off a ramp and impacting with a kamikaze explosion.
726-MWhM
During a race, Motor Mantis knocked Kai off his cycle with an electrical beam trap,
caused Damon to crash into some boulders, and
eventually blasted the rear of Leo's cycle,
slowing Red Ranger and causing
him to lose the race.
In a Megaship
bay, Damon worked on the Astro Cycles, taking
out parts to work on.
Damon said the green and
blue cycles wouldn't be back on pavement in quite a while; the red
cycle's fuel jet systems were burnt out, perhaps somewhat working in the
morning if he worked on it all night.
Outside that night, Leo
spoke with the Lion, which had called out to
him.
Listening with his heart, Leo sensed the Lion was
leading him to more power; when asked where, the Lion replied, and Leo
understood that the answer was his Astro Cycle.
At sunrise, Leo returned to
find Kai and Damon asleep,
having fixed his cycle, and he sneaked out with it.
During the race, struggling to catch up after the
monster's attacks, Leo remembered the girls'
capture, then Maya's advice on listening to his
heart, and he agreed, calling out the name of the Red Capsular Cycle.
The red Astro Cycle morphed into the Red Capsular Cycle, allowing Leo to speed ahead across the finish line.
728-RRom
When Leo called for the red
Astro Cycle, an orange cloud of energy formed into the Astro Cycle,
which burst into existence driving up to Leo with
a bluish-white gleam, and he then formed the Red Capsular Cycle while the bike was
stationary.
729-Cham
After morphing a second time to battle Chameliac, the Rangers were suddenly able to use the
animal attacks and weapons of a different Ranger; immediately afterward, Leo summoned the red Astro Cycle (calling it 100
percent Red) and, after it had
driven up to him, got on and transformed it into the Red Capsular Cycle.
736-BMut
On Captain
Mutiny's planet after Terra Venture had been trapped in the Lost Galaxy, Leo
summoned the Red Capsular Cycle, and
it appeared without first being the red Astro Cycle.
745-End3
When green Trakeena redirected the Rangers' own Galaxy Quasar Launcher blast back at
them, the girls were hurled back, but the guys drove up on the Astro
Cycles, Leo blasting; how the cycles had survived
the detonation of the Astro Megaship is
unknown.
Trakeena blasted Damon off his cycle, teleport-dodged Kai's lasers, and blasted him off as well.
Leo tried using the Red Capsular Cycle against Trakeena; this was the last the cycles would be
shown before the city dome slammed into Mirinoi with devastating force.
Other Sources
The toys of the Astro Cycles allowed the armor
covering the cycles to be put onto the Rangers themselves, presumably leaving the
cycles as plain, Ranger-colored
motorcycles.
