I’m sure most of you know this, in the Japanese version the Machine empire’s prince Sprocket is actually an upgraded version of prince Gasket. Archerina is his cousin who he later marries because his mother suggested it. Louie Kaboom ends up killing Sprocket and sending his head with the queen in her hands on a rocket that was meant to blow them up until the king found the frequency and lured the rocket to his coordinates. That’s where the king upgrades his son.
Machina also ends up killing herself so the ohranger spare her grandson as they actually considered the only way to win was to fully genocide the machine race
The machine empire is my favorite of the power ranger villain groups and of course baranoia is one of my favorite sentai groups. Gold ranger/kingranger is my favorite ranger suit. I even made up a return of the machine empire designs as a kid with frax joining the empire as a Duke.
Mondo was the first main villan to actually face a Megazord and get destroyed by it, sure Master Vile faced two Megazords but he fled after getting hit by both Megazords, finishers, Mondo was sliced in half and went boom! The next major/central series villain to be destroyed by a Megazord wouldn't come for years, I think it's Super Samurai where the primary villain bites the dust against a Megazord and stays gone, most of the time it's the Rangers themselves taking out the villain in the climax battle!!
to bring the machine empire back, it would be logical to have Gasket now leading it after have to rebuild it from remnants and maybe even usurp Mondo to solidify his position as king. after all, it proved Zordon's wave didn't reach every where.
Honestly I have a theory that General Venjix is the same Venjix that became Evox. I think that'd be a good twist to pull off in future seasons. Another good twist would be if Sprocket returned as an adult some how.
@@codypolok5169 That gives me an idea imagine it comes out Sprocket survived the Z-wave some how and had been constantly reinventing himself in different forms and identities like it comes out he's been Deviot, General Venjix, Venjix Virus, and Evox. I mean I can see him needing to hide his identity given the rangers would no doubt hunt him down and he would be making lots of enemies in each incarnation giving him a reason to constantly keep changing. I love that idea because it would not just make him the most evil villain ever in the franchise but it would also make him one of the most long running.
@@anomynous879 Well, originally Zed was different from Rita because he came across as a lot more serious and threatening than her, although she also had her serious moments. Once the two got married in the show, they were basically relegated to comic relief, which makes it a lot harder to take them seriously.
Gasket and archarina are possible but the costumes fell apart in a state of disrepair and can't be used so even if they did want to bring them back they would need to make new ones or try new suits from a different sentai but not many new ones that could be used
If they had the budget they can do so much more with present day technology. We have 3D printing now, and the ability to make very detailed costumes, with animatronics. See what the Jim Henson company did with Where the Wild Things are, Farscape, and the Labyrinth movie.
Bomber the Great is the name of Louie in the original Japanese show a lot of the villains from each Sentai usually get name changes when their show gets adapted.
Depends. Early SPD, Beast Morphers, and Time Force, yes without question. But... after Doggie, Quantum Ranger, and (i can't remember the other rangers) joined. They don't stand a chance.
@L Sdan is their tech equal or greater than the power that the Zeo rangers had? I thought canonically the zeo powers are the peak of ranger strength? The zeo crystals constantly grew with power and there didn't seem to be a limit.
@@tilltheendoftime-adventure8441 I mean, in terms of strength, Zeo has them all outclassed. However, in terms of foes, the Machine Empire (so far as I'm aware) didn't destroy entire planets. Nor, (in the case of Evox) was nearly successful in conquering the Earth itself. Every Ranger --- past, present, or future --- were created to stop specific threats. So (unless the Machine Empire returns later on) we may never know the true answer to this question.
This would make sense if it wasn't for the fact that every ranger team is stronger than the last team. After zeo there was in space and lost Galaxy the machine empire only got the upper hand till the rangers got the zeo crystals which king mondo lost to daily anything after zeo would crap all over king mondo and his miserable machines.
If they reboot/reimagine/readapt Power Rangers Zeo and its full story, the machine empire should be explained as von neumann probes. And they should give more lore and go deeper into the fact their zords are ancient monoliths, like the gold's zord basically being the true function for the great pyramid of Egypt.
Is it just me, or is this narrator mispronouncing "Tri-for-ia" like "Tri-forN-ia"? I always thought it was the first? They also said Serpent Terra weird o_o
They reused certain suits or parts of suits to kitbash some of the Machine Empire generals. At various points, Saban also reused monster suits from Beetleborgs, but you have to watch some shows very closely to see if you can spot them.
So....we gonna ignore that general Venjix and his crew in Forever Red actually are Beatleborgs another group of transforming heroes ususally comprised of children?
it was about in universe lore, so i don't think their ignoring it. It is an intresting fact though. I did not watch Beetleborgs so i did not know til i saw a review a few years back.
@@shanavalkyria3438 same here honestly. But it is intresting to think that if they wearen't counted as diffrend universes that the red Power Rangers beat up probably brainwashed innocent childrend and killed them. Or maby that those could have been the origins of the Beatleborgs technology. They wearen't destroyed but rather turned to energy tapping into the morphyng grid so that in another timeline the Beatleborgs are born instead of the Power Rangers.
@@davidmartin5483 first part- thats very true and very dark. Honestly thats the sorta twist i would like in most showes. Still the comics can be quite brutal themselfs. Like Lord drakken or the pink ranger who had the grave zord, made up of various zords she destroyed. Both likely/did kill rangers who are usually teens The 2ed would also be intresting and could of set up a crossover with the power rangers wondering about the morphin usage on the grid
They did originally - MMPR through to Space was a continuation of an overall story - things have to change though, can’t just keep the same characters etc for ever
You should never come up with a faction in your story that starts off as conquered the whole universe except this one planet. Because now you have to come up with an omnipotent McGuffin to justify their defeat. Because if you're fighting force dominates the universe then you can send an army of trillions to simply swarm this one planet.
What could have been a great video but let down by the fact you didn’t watch the episodes your self. A number of things you mentioned happened differently or not at all. Also *Triforia.
And can you please pray for 2023 to be better than 2022 and everyone in the world including all the animals to go to Heaven ☁️, achieve all life goals we all have (that’s not sinful and/or disrespectful of course) and to live longer also for this world’s 🌎 climate change and hatred to dial down.🙏🏻✝️✡️🔯🕎🎄🕊👍☮️🛐☦️☁️🔔⛪️🕊👍🕍💒🙏🏻
Fun Fact Queen Machina Was Voiced By Alex Borstein who also voices Lois Griffin on Family Guy so there sort of a connection
I knew her since mad tv.
AND a Gilmore Girls connection. Easy to play the 6 Degrees of Power Rangers.
Holy shit! I had no idea. I learned something new today 😊
She also voiced Madam Woe in the first season.
Another Fun Fact: Orbus and Prince Sprocket is voiced by Barbara Goodson, who also voice Rita Repulsa.
I love how Venjix and his crew were repurposed Big Bad Beetleborgs costumes.
That's because they're robots...
was about to say those are damn beetleborgs
They didn't even really repaint the suits...
I guess they couldn't get a hold of the Prince Gasket costume so they had to settle for the most robot-empire lookin' suits they still had access to.
@@LordProteus Wow. Shit...

Yes, Bacchus Wrath gave his remaining energy to his dead son leading to the birth of Kaiser Bultant.
Other way around. Prince Gasket is the upgraded version of Prince Sprocket.
Thanks for the video these guys are among my favorite villains.
The machine empire is my favorite of the power ranger villain groups and of course baranoia is one of my favorite sentai groups. Gold ranger/kingranger is my favorite ranger suit. I even made up a return of the machine empire designs as a kid with frax joining the empire as a Duke.
Seems cool

Ironic they used Beetle Borgs in Wild Force as the remnants of the Machine Empire.
Gasket and Archerina are actually still alive, so they could return one day with a new Machine Empire.
I actually almost forgot about those two
Well, they can use King Mondo's archrival: King Aradon since he was only mentioned, but never seen throughout the series.
Maybe they can use Hell Saturn Fury from Sun Vulcan for Aradon.
to bring the machine empire back, it would be logical to have Gasket now leading it after have to rebuild it from remnants and maybe even usurp Mondo to solidify his position as king. after all, it proved Zordon's wave didn't reach every where.
Long Live King Mondo!
The villainous machine empire are my favorite power rangers villain group
Awesome video on the Machine Empire 😎👍
What if Zordon created King Mondo to protect the universe but Zordon lost control of him and he decided to rule the universe instead?
oh like Tony stark. ?
Awesome childhood memories
Honestly I have a theory that General Venjix is the same Venjix that became Evox. I think that'd be a good twist to pull off in future seasons. Another good twist would be if Sprocket returned as an adult some how.
I always thought the samething because he mentioned he has taken many forms.
@@codypolok5169 That gives me an idea imagine it comes out Sprocket survived the Z-wave some how and had been constantly reinventing himself in different forms and identities like it comes out he's been Deviot, General Venjix, Venjix Virus, and Evox.

That's why I was checking the comments lmao
Master Ville never cursed the Zeo Crystal. It was used to restore the earth.
It always annoyed me that they never revealed who built the Machines.
Maybe Dark Spectre
In Ohranger they were built by an advanced civilization on Earth 600 million years ago as servants but eventually escaped their control.
He had a hand in a lot of things.
I remember thinking even as a kid “Man, King Mondo’s suit must be ridiculously hard to move around in”, it’s huge!
20:55 They actually were not popular. Lot of pople hate them or dislike them. Just cause they think they are boring. Not me. They get to much hate
This is presented like an SPD report and I love that
I think Zed was the best villain up to the point where he married Rita and lightened up. Before that he was way more intimidating and sinister.
I agree
I agree
I actually started to really like him when he married Rita. Before that he had no personality besides being evil.
@@anomynous879 Well, originally Zed was different from Rita because he came across as a lot more serious and threatening than her, although she also had her serious moments.

Do you know who created King Mondo and Queen Machina? One suspects Dark Spector is the one who created them
Wait a min they got big bad beetle Borg's 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes they did
recently king mondo's arch enemy has shown in comics
And the machine empire also didn’t conquer any thing the current villains (at the time) conquered
Long live The Machine Empire!
The Machine Empire Baranoia were far more menacing. Wished they kept Mondo and The Machine Empire more true to their Sentai Counterparts.
If the Power Rangers movies continued, these guys would've been perfect final antagonists
Gasket and archarina are possible but the costumes fell apart in a state of disrepair and can't be used so even if they did want to bring them back they would need to make new ones or try new suits from a different sentai but not many new ones that could be used

I like 5he video
If thay bring the machine empire back I'd like to see sprocket 2.0 as the new ruler
In the sentai - Sprocket upgraded into Gasket
@@TreyX304 King gasket new king of the machine empire.

How would the Machine Empire fare against SPD, Beast Morphers or Time Force?
Depends.
Early SPD, Beast Morphers, and Time Force, yes without question.
But... after Doggie, Quantum Ranger, and (i can't remember the other rangers) joined. They don't stand a chance.
As entire organizations or the individual ranger teams?

The Machine Empire from B’t X origin.
Why did you skipped the reason why King Mondo isn't leading the Empire anymore? (Countdown to Destruction)
Lord zedd didn’t pass away lol he turned human
Imagine how powerful vengex/evox would have become if he managed to assimilate the remnants of the machine empire

Surprised they haven't appeared in the comics that much yet.
How Conflicting, Really!
Archerina’s a cutie 😤

There is a lot of incorrect information on this video - those mispronunciations (and you are correct it’s Triforia) is only the tip 😂

Best villians was Zed and king mando
do you have the origin story of astronima from power rangers in space
This man's brain needs auto correct. That or the script needed to be proofread before it was recorded.
Why did they bothered with r.p.m. then of they already had robotic villains?
Can’t you have more than one set of robotic villains?
@@TreyX304After the while it's hard to distinguish. Quality over quantity.

you mad a few errors
All the names of things he messes up annoys me something feirce
It is Rita Repulsa. Triforia. It is the Sword of Damocles. Your narrators need to learn how to pronounce every name in the videos.
Yea, I get the idea that the team who produced this video never actually saw the show or someone would've corrected the narration errors.
