Review:

First of all, I still like the cold opening. Usually a Power Rangers show has a short cold opening, goes to opening sequence and does act one with episode title. This time, Act One starts and ends with the opening sequence. Interesting that they used the Go-Busters weaknesses in this series. Red had the weakness of seeing a chicken and freezing, now Devon sees a dog instead of a chicken. Blue stays the same with overheating. Yellow would get weak and eat candy to energy up, this series smartly puts a carrot to tie in with the rabbit and be healthy example. I also like the tie to the Evok Virus to cause these weaknesses. As for Devon being a leader, I'd be all for it except for him constantly saying it is like a video game. I do like the Megazord catchphrase being "Virus Eliminated." This episode used much more Go-Busters footage than the last episode but that is a given since the last one had only original footage. Also interesting they established the difference between Robotron and Gigadrone, most seasons wouldn't bother. Also deploying the zords remind me of Timeranger and the GB guards helping the Rangers reminds me of Shinkenger. So another good episode.

Skruzzle is an American creation and reminds people of Finster with the tools. I say he could also be a Dragon because he has enough arsenal to be his own threat. So he could sneak up and be the main villain of the second season.
