VISTORBELITUNG.COM,Tanjung Pandan, Bangka Belitung – Power Rangers fans worldwide surely remember the series released in 2009. More than just giant robot battles and monsters every week, Power Rangers RPM (sometimes called Power Rangers: Racing Performance Machines) brought a breath of fresh air with a much darker and more complex background than previous Power Rangers series.
While the entertainment world was filled with various genres, Power Rangers RPM dared to be different. If Power Rangers usually came with a cheerful spirit and a safe world, RPM presented a ravaged earth. Their main enemy wasn't just an ordinary alien villain but the Venjix Computer Network, a super-intelligent computer virus that managed to destroy almost all human civilization.
Power Rangers RPM is set in an isolated city called Corinth, the only remaining place for humanity to survive. Behind the magnificent protective walls, our heroes, led by the eccentric but brilliant Dr. K, must use advanced technology to stop Venjix, which continues to evolve.
This series is known for its more serious approach to characters and plot. The Rangers don't just fight; they also grapple with past trauma, dwindling hope, and the great responsibility of saving the remnants of humanity. Fans praised how RPM managed to present more human and relatable characters, with deeply told backstories.
Of course, Power Rangers isn't complete without its iconic Zords. In RPM, the Zords were designed with a more futuristic style and had unique transformation abilities, in line with the "Racing Performance Machines" theme. The Zord battle scenes felt more dynamic and intense, as if reflecting the despair that enveloped their world.
Although slightly different from the usual Power Rangers formula, Power Rangers RPM successfully captured the attention of many fans. Even now, this series is often referred to as one of the best Power Rangers series ever made, thanks to its courage in taking risks and presenting a more mature story.
