Official Operation Overdrive Press Release
Special Thanks goes to Kyl416
In the unprecedented 15th incarnation of the hit
franchise, "Operation Overdrive" chronicles the adventures of five
brave teens on an exciting global treasure hunt filled with mind-crunching
puzzles to decode, action, adventure and spectacular battles, on a quest to find
the "Corona Aurora," a crown said to bestow ultimate power to the
wearer. Dark forces from the past awaken and search for the missing crown, which
is encrusted with five magnificent jewels from seven galaxies, which will make
evil unstoppable. The jewels must be found and secured or evil will wear the
Corona Aurora. Our world and the entire universe's fate rests in the hands of
"Power Rangers Operation Overdrive."
Geared towards boys 3-8 and has a parental guide of TV-Y7-FV, "Power
Rangers Operation Overdrive" is produced by Ranger Productions Ltd.
While on an archeological excursion in Africa, billionaire/adventurer Andrew
Hartford unearthed the crown portion of what he believes is the Corona Aurora.
The jewels of the crown were missing from the corona. Upon returning home,
Standish is visited by the crown's ghostly Templar Knight who assured him he has
found the crown, but in doing so he was now responsible for protecting it. If
the crown falls into the wrong hands, it can mean disaster not only for Earth
but the entire universe.
Now Hartford must scour the globe and find the five jewels that were scattered
across the Pangea many eons before man even existed. He uses his intelligence
and wealth to construct the technology and machinery, including morphing
Trackers, which he entrusts to an elite team of specialists to track down the
jewels and save the universe. He assembles Power Rangers Operation Overdrive.
The team consists of Hartford's excitable and impetuous son, Mackenzie or Mack,
who grabbed the Tracker to become a ranger and live out his dreams of adventure.
Mack, the Red Ranger, possesses superior strength. While Rose, the Pink Ranger,
can become invisible, she is a certified Mensa Genius and child prodigy who
enjoys poetry but needs to work on her social skills – something she can't
learn in a book. Will, the Black Ranger, is a suave, sophisticated ladies man,
ala a younger version of James Bond, who appreciates the finer things in life.
The Black Ranger possesses super sight and hearing. Ronny, the Yellow Ranger, is
a top race car driver in a male-dominated field, but can hold her own when
dealing with the boys. Her enhancement is super speed. Dax, the Blue Ranger is
the best international stuntman in the business; with elastic bounce abilities
as his genetic enhancement, he can take his stunt work to a whole new level.
As the five teens set out to find the five jewels and defeat those evil doers
bent on destroying the universe, it's safe to know that the Power Rangers fight
for what's right, honest and good. They're the heroes – "Power Rangers
Operation Overdrive."
