Power Rangers RPM - Epiosde 14 - "Embodied"

Episode 14 "Embodied"

Episode Summary:

The Rangers are in their Megazord fighting an Attackbot and it makes an oil spill making it slippery. They are split apart. Ziggy says he should have called in sick. Dr. K makes a long comment on how he isn't sick. They make ValveMax and High Octane and destroy the monster. At the evil lair, Venjix uploads himself in a new body (Hiramekimedes) and plans for the Rangers to come to him. Back at the garage, Summer hypnotizes Dillon to get more answers from his past and Dillon berates Dr. K for unleashing the virus but it seems everyone else has forgiven her.


He is hypnotized with his musical clock and is in front of the Venjix pole and sees himself with a woman in a place called Kenmore, so he wants to go to Kenmore. They find out Kenmore is far away from Corinth but the Rangers want to go anyway. Colonel Truman is against it but Scott tells him he is going to go regardless. So the team is on a road-trip in an old RV belonging to Colonel Truman and it was supposedly built in the 70's. It is actually the Go-Onger bus Ginjiro Number One, the home and base of the original Japanese counterparts of the RPM Rangers. The producers left the Go-Onger name on the bus and it is referenced by Flynn, Scott gives the logner name for it as it is an acronym in this universe.


They lower the shields and heads off, only to in counter Venjix himself (though they don't know it is him) and a barrage of Grinders, who he powers-up. They destroy the Grinders and Dillon recognize Venjix's voice. Venjix reveals his identity. He calls for his sword and he fights Scott. The others surround him when Scott is knocked down. Dillon's gun is used against Summer. Flynn and Dillon are then flung down. Green and Yellow fight Venjix to no avail. Then Venjix attacks them all with his main chest weapon. They all de-morph. Venjix calls for his ship. The five 'fall back' and run in the bus.


To use the footage of the original footage, the ship chases the bus, but the beautiful green Japan has been doctored to look like an American wasteland. Venjix leaves as the Rangers stay in a tunnel like in the original episode (15). It is Scott's call and they form Zenith Megazord. Venjix comes in his ship and blasts at them. They split into their six zords and go 'airborne' which means they all give Red a boost to fly and attack the ship. The ship splits into five. Then out of the mountains, two new Zords appear. The two Zords attack the bad guys. We hear familiar voices. Venjix is surprised and shocked. Gold asks Silver if she is hungry, she says she is starving.


The other ships are destroyed. Ziggy is impressed. Flynn wants to know who they are. The two generals fret over the death of Venjix, Tanaya thinks she should be the new leader, the three fight for the job. Tenaya thinks there should be a fair way to figure it out but Tenaya beats the other two up but Venjix arrives in his pole, saying he is immortal and brings in a new copy of the same body and enters it once again. He says that the Power Rangers are walking into his deadliest trap yet.


Review:
Ingenious to use the Ginjiro Number One a.ka. Go-Onger bus. I also like how they kept the name in order to honor the series. Making Venjix into Hiramekimedes is interesting, I am sure he can download himself into other bodies when the Hiramekimedes footage runs out. It is interesting how they mixed Episodes 15 and 16 and in a different order. Because in Ep 16, Hiramekimedes powered up the Oil Banki, which did not happen here. Also, I want to know if Venjix is really as dark as he is promised to be or just like every other main male villain.
