The Long Line of Alphas

ALPHA 5
We all know this robot, everyone commonly know him as Alpha. He was played by mostly women. In order to tie in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with Saban's Masked Rider in the 3-parter "A Friend in Need," Alpha's background was revealed to be that he was built by King Lexion of Edenoi. But this tie-in was later cut off in the Masked Rider series and never mentioned again in Power Rangers.

ALPHA (Original Look)
In the pilot, which didn't air on Television until 1999, revealed that Alpha had a different look before the look we all knew. He had a bigger horn on his head and more junk on the front of his torso and no 'power' lightning bolt.

ALPHA 5 (Movie Look)
Not only did the Rangers, Lord Zedd and the Command Center get a new 'movie' look, so did Alpha 5. I liked this darker and shinier look but not so crazy about the red visor line looking like it is over-bubbling, but it was interesting.

ALPHA 5 (2nd Look)
For the second movie "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie," Alpha got a new look and this went on to the TV series without any explanation. Later when Dimitria and Alpha 6 came into the scene, Alpha 6 said he came from a long line of Alphas and no explanation on Alpha 5 being built in Edenoi. This made me believe that the Edenoi origin was stripped and now Alpha was one of many built in a place of good or whatever. Alpha 5 got his old body back when he was last seen in "Passing the Torch Part 2."

ALPHA 6
Alpha 6 first spoke like a hip-hopper or New Yorker, probably to be more 'cool' but fans just found it annoying. Alpha 6 had the same look as the new Alpha 5, it was the same suit. In Power Rangers in Space, Alpha 6's voice was changed to something more similar to Alpha 5's. He last ended up in Miranoi. In "Forever Red," there was a robot with the same look that in the script and credits was called Alpha 7.

"ALPHA 6" (Operation Overdrive)
The same suit but taller actor was used. Now this robot was called "Alpha 6" but many consider him to be "Alpha 5" because Alpha 6 was in Miranoi and what would he be doing in a box in a warehouse in Angel Grove? It would make more sense that Alpha 5 was put for safe keeping there while everything was going on.
