521-TWOF.
- Elgar and two Piranhatron brought a treasure chest into
the bridge from the lift after someone, presumably Divatox, had told him precisely where he would
find it, in the Salton Sea (in southern California); such precognition might have stemmed from
the millennium message.
? The instructions had
supposedly been to go down 20,000 leagues (or 70,000 miles down) in the
Salton Sea, but the Earth as a whole isn't even
16,000 miles wide.
- Divatox wasn't
particularly impressed with the gold and jewels in the chest, but she
was excited to find a map inside which had been missing for eons.
- The map showed what looked like a dark,
multicolored planet with a smaller red planet with a yellow ring; also
in its orbit nearby was a small gray body; two arrows came from the red
ring planet, showing pictures of the space cars.
- The name "space cars" was not actually used in
the show, but it is used in this guide as a collective term for Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster together.
? The map showed the
Turbine Laser mounted on the top of Storm Blaster and a C emblem on Storm Blaster's side; when the space cars
would be released in modern day, Storm
Blaster's side would initially be bare, and the Turbine Laser wouldn't be introduced yet.
- Divatox had Porto bring her Dreadfeather to obtain the Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster, which she called the two most
powerful vehicles in the universe; if she possessed them, she said,
nothing would stand in her way.
- Dreadfeather ascertained from
the map that the cars were hidden inside an asteroid in the Omega
Quadrant, which was apparently far from Earth, likely in another galaxy (see "Space").
- Dreadfeather sat on some sort of
box on an asteroid to rest, and the asteroid split spart, revealing blue
and red streaks which flew to Earth.
- The space cars materialized in an alley within
several blocks from T.J. and Justin, their potential owners.
? After first arriving
on Earth, Lightning Cruiser had a small C emblem on its hood in some shots,
but not in others.
- The space cars were sentient and could control
themselves.
- As Elgar, Dreadfeather, and Piranhatrons tried to get in the space cars,
the two vehicles gave the villains trouble
and then drove off.
- As the cars raced toward T.J. and Justin before
stopping in the middle of the road inches from the two teens, Lightning
Cruiser flashed its lights with the humming sound of the Turbozords' headlights; both Lightning Cruiser's and Storm Blaster's headlight-flashing sounds
were the same humming sound of the Turbozords.
- Storm Blaster and
Justin were captured and taken to a warehouse
by Elgar and Dreadfeather, and upon
reluctantly accepting T.J., Lightning Cruiser tracked them down.
- Lightning
Cruiser's brake pedal had "Anti-Lock" written on it, and the cars'
displays were all in standard Arabic numbers.
? As Storm Blaster was pulled out through the
warehouse roof window by Lightning
Cruiser, it had a C emblem on
its side.
? As Lightning Cruiser landed after releasing
Storm Blaster, it had a C emblem on its side.
- When T.J. told Justin to thank Lightning Cruiser, the car flashed its
lights approvingly, then a C
emblem appeared on its side and Storm
Blaster's door.
- When the five Rangers would ride in the space cars, the Red and Pink Rangers would, unless otherwise noted, ride
together in Lightning Cruiser, and
the other three would, unless otherwise noted, ride together in Storm Blaster, with Green Ranger standing in back.
- T.J. hoped the cars liked
being part of the team, and Lightning
Cruiser honked twice, which Cassie took as
a yes.
522-TBTS.
- As the Rangers
began their battle with Mad Mike,
the space cars drove up, seemingly on their own, and Lightning Cruiser shot Mad Mike with its cannon.
- Mad Mike
threw pizzas onto the cars' steering wheels and hubcaps, turning their
headlights green and the cars evil.
- The evil space cars knocked the Rangers into Mad Mike's giant pizza cooker.
- Holding his Synergizer folded up in compact mode,
Blue Senturion called out, "Red light,
now!" and all the red lights on his and his weapon, except for his large
shoulder lights, lit up, stopping the space cars and making the evil
pizzas fall off; Blue Senturion declared
that the evil pizzas were no match for a simple stoplight.
524-VAct.
- The Rangers
summoned Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster to help them track Translucitor after they hadn't
had much luck following the Turbo
Navigator.
- When summoning Lightning Cruiser, morphed T.J. touched the left side of his helmet as appeared
to speak into his right wrist (not the wrist his communicator would have been on); to call
Storm Blaster, Justin merely touched the right side of his
helmet.
- Following Cassie's
confused directions as they chased Translucitor's image in Lightning Cruiser, T.J. skidded to a stop in the street, and Storm Blaster ran into it, not seeming to
damage either.
526-DrkD.
- Unmorphed T.J. used his communicator to call the space cars for
help when Elgar and Piranhatron ambushed him and Cassie in the mountains with a rockslide.
- T.J. and Cassie got in Storm
Blaster and were driven to safety, then drove up to Elgar and the Piranhatrons to fight them.
- To meet General
Havoc at the pier for him to deliver their terms of surrender or he
would destroy the Earth, the Rangers drove up in Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster, with the Turbine Laser mounted on Storm Blaster.
527-OLHo.
- As the Rangers
patrolled Angel Grove in the space cars, Ashley and Cassie were in
the opposite seats, with Ashley riding with T.J. in Lightning
Cruiser and Cassie with the others in Storm Blaster.
- Ashley tried to get a
lock on Havoc with Lightning Cruiser's scanner, but Havoc blocked it.
529-ClMz.
- After thinking up a plan to use a super-magnet on Divatox's Space Base,
T.J. told Justin to warm
up Storm Blaster, as they would be using
the space cars to power the super-magnet.
- Once the space cars were both in the desert where the super-magnet equipment was set up,
the Rangers hooked up cables from the
cars (with Lightning Cruiser's
apparently attached to its dashboard) to the power core, a large black
box with a C emblem on it; the
power core was already hooked up to a magnetic beam cannon.
- T.J. floored Lightning Cruiser in neutral, sending
energy into the power core; soon afterward, T.J.
had gotten out of the car and flipped on the cannon's control switch, indicating
that the power core acted as a capacitor to temporarily store the energy
from the space cars.
532-GOEv.
- The Rangers drove
around in Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster, looking for Bulk and Skull and the missing wishing coin.
- Wild
Weeder's seeds made vines wrap around the space cars.
533-FIYT.
- Morphed T.J. flew Lightning Cruiser as a test of new booster fuel formulas designed by
Alpha; meanwhile, Carlos and Justin
monitored the tests from the Power
Chamber, and unmorphed Cassie and Ashley were in the woods with the various fuel formulas at a table.
- Storm Blaster was
nearby when T.J. drove up in Lightning Cruiser after the most recent
test.
- Lightning
Cruiser honked repeatedly and flashed its lights when Elgar, Rygog, and Porto approached to steal it and Storm Blaster.
- The Rangers used
the space cars when their attacks weren't effective on Torch Tiger.
524-TOWW.
- After Maniac Mechanic had sped away
in his battle wagon, Ashley summoned her Turbo
Cart to pursue him; Justin would then drive
up in Storm Blaster to give Carlos a ride, whom Ashley had left behind.
- The Rangers drove
in Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster, and Ashley soon got in Storm Blaster after her Turbo Cart had been damaged.
- Storm Blaster was
struck by energy buzzsaws shot from Maniac Mechanic's battle wagon, damaging its hood
and engine.
- Lightning
Cruiser was blasted, presumably by the battle wagon, causing damage
to its exterior, particularly its hood.
? After Ashley was done fixing Storm Blaster's engine, its hood was
undamaged.
- Ashley drove Storm Blaster into battle to help the
others, the only time a Ranger other than
Blue Ranger would drive it.
545-CIS2.
- As the Rangers
attempted to fight off Divatox's invading Piranhatron army halfway up the Power Chamber's mountain, the space cars drove up on
their own accord, down below, and began blasting Piranhatron with their lasers.
- Divatox was quite
unimpressed when she saw that the space cars had arrived to help fight
the invasion.
- With nets, the Piranhatron surrounded the space cars and
climbed in, waving their flags around victoriously, seeming to have won
control over them.
- As Divatox watched the
capture of the space cars, Elgar asked her,
"Things are looking pretty good, huh?", and she then looked up at the Power Chamber and said it was only a matter
of time.
618-TBTR.
- On a red desert planet,
a horde of Piranhatrons carrying Divatox flags was forcing the chained-up space
cars to drag heavy loads of something brown and metallic through the
desert, with the cars struggling.
- As the Piranhatrons whipped the cars, small energy
shockwaves spread out over the impacted surface.
- Lightning
Cruiser struggled and stopped, so the Piranhatrons unchained it and took off the
large metal bracket covering its cannon; it suddenly blasted a Piranhatron at pointblank range as it
inspected the cannon, and the car sped off and turned around, then
blasted Storm Blaster free from its large
metal front and rear brackets.
- While Piranhatrons
recaptured Lightning Cruiser, Storm Blaster sped away.
- Piranhatrons on bikes raced after Storm Blaster, but it streaked away into the
sky.
- Andros was unfamiliar
with Storm Blaster.
- Storm Blaster
eventually returned with Justin and the Space Rangers, who would defeat the Piranhatrons and free Lightning Cruiser.
