Alpha 5

Alpha 5 is the fifth model of the Alpha Series who was put into operation to assist the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the Zeo Rangers.

He briefly assisted the Turbo Rangers until his departure to Eltar.

## Appearance

He is a humanoid robot and is smaller then humans.

## Personality

Alpha's personality throughout most of his appearances was kind, loving, and innocent.

He is also quite panicky and goes 'ai yi yi yi yi yi yi!' when in a panicked state; this has become a well-known catchphrase for most of the Alpha robots.

In "The Wedding", however, thanks to Finster's personality-altering computer program (inside of a compact disc) and Alpha's subsequent reprogramming for evil, Alpha was transformed into an angry, obnoxious and megalomaniacal brat bent on destroying the Rangers and becoming famous for their deaths as a result.

He even silenced Zordon three times, once by simply muting him, by commanding him to be silenced, and again by cutting him off from our dimension (though not by un-anchoring him the way Tommy did in Green With Evil, due to repeated footage recycling) and repeatedly insulted and mocked him.

He also, while he is in this brainwashed state, has complete fealty to Zedd and Rita, as he declares that the Command Center would be all his when the Rangers become Zedd's prisoners in "The Wedding" ("With the Rangers prisoners of Lord Zedd and no Zordon, the Command Center will be mine! ALL MINE!").

Surprisingly, while Alpha 5 is a robot, he has an amazing range of emotions that make him very humanlike.

Alpha also gets very sad when the Rangers leave him alone; this is shown in "The Wanna-Be Ranger", "A Friend in Need" and "The Wedding".

This is also shown in Alpha's Magical Christmas and its audio book adaptation Lord Zedd's Holiday Humbug.

At times, Alpha can also act very paternalistic, making him sort of the "mother hen" to the Rangers and some others (such as the children in his Christmas special, when he paternally reminds the kids not to open the gifts he gave them until the next morning).

## Skills & Abilities

Alpha does not have much in the way of attacking enemies, but in "Power Ranger Punks" and *Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Live*, he can shock enemies with electrical charges of white energy.

However, this does little damage to enemies, only stunning or shocking them briefly.

He was also the sole architect of both the original Command Center and, later, the Power Chamber.

As revealed in "Power Ranger Punks", Alpha is adept at creating potions and tinctures (his skills rivaling that of Baboo and Rita themselves), with an example being the creating of the anti-punk antidote made from the Singing Squash.

Through the power of the Universal Morphin Grid, Alpha has the ability to create organic matter, such as flowers; he can also utilize its power to create clothing and, in his Christmas special, decorations, toys and Christmas gifts.

In the same special, he also can rearrange the lights in the Command Center to form various shapes.

It is unclear if he used his powers to create weapons for himself and the Eltarians during the war on Eltar before Dark Specter conquered the planet.

As an artificial intelligence, Alpha 5 is not susceptible to old age or death.
