Main characters

edit

Dino Charge Power Rangers

edit

Based at the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum in the city of Amber Beach, the Dino Charge Rangers' arsenal revolves around being powered by the Energems, ten items of great power. As the spirits of dinosaurs that Keeper initially entrusted the Energems to have bonded into them, they manifest as Zords that the Dino Charge Rangers use to fight enlarged monsters. Initially having five Energems, the Power Rangers' mission is to find the remaining five before their enemies do.[2]

In battle, the Rangers wield the Dino Charge Morpher, which doubles as a gun, and the Dino Saber, which can combine with the Dino Charge Morpher to form the Dino Blade Blaster.[2] They also wield a series of battery-like Dino Chargers to gain additional powers.

Tyler Navarro

edit

Tyler Navarro is the enthusiastic, outgoing, gregarious, and adventurous leader of the Dino Charge Power Rangers who works as a chef at the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum's restaurant, the Dino Bite Cafe. He also works to find his missing father, who mysteriously disappeared ten years prior to the series while at an archaeological dig site and left behind a journal containing a sketch of a monster. His search leads him to a cave where he finds the Red Energem in a Tyrannosaurus fossil and becomes the Red Dino Charge Ranger.[2]

As the Red Dino Charge Ranger, Tyler wields the T-Rex Smasher gauntlet.[3] Using the power of the T-Rex Super Charger and the T-Rex Super Charge Morpher, Tyler can assume T-Rex Super Charge Mode and channel the Dino Charge Megazord's powers.[4][5]

Tyler Navarro is portrayed by Brennan Mejia.[6][7][8][9][10] Mejia was a fan of Power Rangers going in to the show, particularly Power Rangers Time Force. He, and other members of the cast, were all surprised by the producers when they did a cold read of the script and were instructed to open up treasure chests as part of the reading, inside of which contained their official new role.[11] He previously auditioned for Power Rangers Samurai and also tried out for the Blue and Green Ranger roles in Dino Charge as part of the audition process. Before working on Power Rangers, he worked as an acrobat at the San Diego Zoo.[12] Mejia spoke in interviews of how he and the other cast members trained with Japanese stunt actors from the Super Sentai series to prepare for action scenes. He also joked of how he and the other cast members became accustomed to wearing their signature colors offset.[13] He returns in Power Rangers Beast Morphers.[14][15][16]

Shelby Watkins

edit

Shelby Watkins works as a waitress at the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum's restaurant, the Dino Bite Cafe inside. Though she comes off as clumsy and ditzy due to disliking her position, she is a stubborn and noble tomboy with a vast knowledge of dinosaurs, with her favorite being the Triceratops. After stowing away in one of the museum's trucks bound for a dig site, she finds and bonds with the Pink Energem and becomes the Pink Dino Charge Ranger. She also develops a crush on Tyler, who reciprocates her feelings by the end of the series.[2][17] She initially butts heads with her boss and mentor, Dr. Kendal Morgan, early in the series. However, as the team bonds, the two learn to work together, and Shelby is able to impress Dr. Morgan by applying her dinosaur knowledge to the fight against Sledge, such as building a device to locate the Energems and creating the Spino Zord.[18][19][5]

As the Pink Dino Charge Ranger, Shelby wields the Tricera Drill.[3]

Shelby Watkins is portrayed by Camille Hyde.[6][7][8][9] Hyde is the first African-American woman to portray a Pink Power Ranger.[20][10] Hyde felt that her part in Dino Charge would become a part of the long legacy of Power Rangers by continuing with the dinosaur theme. She also remarked that being able to stay on her feet was one of the hardest parts of the physical training as part of the role and was just as surprised as her castmates when she was given the role at what they thought was their final audition.[11] Prior to the show, Hyde was a student at Chapman University, majoring in policy and environmental science.[21] She left her studies early in order to go to an audition. In an interview, she mentioned the camaraderie she felt from the actresses who portrayed the Yellow and Pink Rangers in Power Rangers Megaforce, who wrote to her to ask if she was feeling alright when she began filming in New Zealand for the first time. She also spoke of how the young fans have treated her when they realize who she is, bringing up a time she was recognized by two little boys in a pizzeria in her hometown of Washington, D.C.[12] While filming in New Zealand, Hyde received martial arts training and continued to pursue her academics through online courses. Hyde attributed her success to her determination to stay focused and to acting courses she took at Chapman University.[21] Hyde considered herself a tomboy growing up and never wore pink, but now that she had been filming as Shelby for a year, she began to wear more pink outside of the role.[13]

Koda

edit

Koda is a virtuous Neanderthal caveman who found the Blue Energem a hundred thousand years prior to the series in a Stegosaurus fossil. After saving his little brother, Taku, from a smilodon, he fell off a cliff and ended up frozen in a glacier, though the Energem's powers kept him alive. By the present, Koda is found and unfrozen by Chase and Dr. Morgan, and slowly adapts to modern customs and technology, speaking in broken, minimalist sentences. Along the way, he became a digger for the Amber Beach Museum's archaeological digs, a dishwasher for the Dino Bite Cafe, and the Blue Dino Charge Ranger.[2][3][22]

In battle, Koda can make use of his extraordinary strength and sharp reflexes and senses. As the Blue Dino Charge Ranger, he wields the Stego Shield.[3][22][5]

Koda is portrayed by Yoshi Sudarso.[6][7][8][9][10] Sudarso has been a fan of Power Rangers since a child and also enjoyed Time Force. On auditioning for the role, he said that he had known it was a caveman and had used a particular speech pattern when auditioning, but he was thrown off by the cold read on the day that he was given the role.[11] Sudarso is also a fan of the Japanese television series Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, on which Dino Charge was based. He hooked Brennan Mejia on the show as well, leading the two of them and fellow cast member James Davies to leave their own ad-libbed references to the show that made it into the final cut.[12] He returns in Power Rangers Ninja Steel[23][24][25] and Power Rangers Beast Morphers.[14][15]

Chase Randall

edit

Chase Randall is a laid-back and flirtatious young man from New Zealand who works at the Amber Beach Museum as a janitor and expert digger. Prior to meeting the other Rangers, he received the Black Energem as a reward from the Māori fortune-teller Moana after he saved her cat, which allows him to transform into the Black Dino Charge Ranger.[3] He also serves as second-in-command of the team, usually taking charge in Tyler's absence.[26]

As the Dino Charge Black Ranger, Chase is skilled at firearm-based combat and wields the Para Chopper beam gun.[3][5]

Chase Randall is portrayed by James Davies.[6][7][8][9][10] When interviewed about the audition process, Davies said that the last fake-out audition was the worst for him because he was so nervous about the cold reading. During filming, he enjoyed learning how to do tricks with the blaster prop.[11] He returns in Power Rangers Beast Morphers.[14][15]

Riley Griffin

edit

Riley Griffin is the cool-headed, sensible, intellectual, and youngest member of the Dino Charge Rangers. He originally lived on a farm, where he found the Green Energem and became the Green Dino Charge Ranger. Following this, he moves to Amber Beach and becomes a summer intern at the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum and a waiter at the Dino Bite Cafe.[3]

In battle, Riley is an expert swordsman who specializes in a backhanded grip-based fighting style. As the Green Dino Charge Ranger, he also wields the Raptor Claw.[3][5]

Riley Griffin is portrayed by Michael Taber.[6][7][8][9][10] In an interview, Taber brought up how the production team tricked them all at the final cold read audition, and how they had not heard from the producers in over a month when they were all finally called in again. When asked about his favorite episode, he said it was one that had not yet aired when the interview was held at the 2015 San Diego Comic Con, but aside from that one it was when his character became a Power Ranger in the second episode.[11] Taber reprised his role in Power Rangers Beast Morphers, albeit uncredited and as a voice only. In 2020, Taber stated that he intentionally portrayed Riley as gay and with a crush on fellow ranger Chase.[27]

Kendall Morgan

edit

Kendall Morgan is a confident, direct, and blunt scientist who manages the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum and serves as the head of its paleontology digging group and technical advisor to the Rangers. Prior to the series, she met Keeper while digging for fossils and promised to help him find the Energems. Using her position, she established an underground research lab that would go on to serve as the Rangers' headquarters and builds several gadgets and weapons for the future Rangers.[3] After Sledge's forces steal the Purple Energem and kidnap Keeper, Kendall infiltrates the bounty hunter's ship to rescue Keeper, bonding with the Purple Energem and becoming the Purple Dino Charge Ranger in the process.[28][5]

Kendall Morgan is portrayed by Claire Blackwelder.[9]

Sir Ivan of Zandar

edit

Sir Ivan of Zandar is a kind, brave, honest, loyal, and humble medieval knight who served the royal family of the fictional small country of Zandar 800 years prior to the series. While escorting the young Prince Colin, Sir Ivan found the Gold Energem, but was attacked by Fury, who absorbed him and kept him prisoner. In the present, Fury uses the trapped Sir Ivan and Gold Energem to control the Ptera Zord against the Rangers until the knight escapes from Fury and becomes the Gold Dino Charge Ranger.[29] He initially chooses not to join the Rangers after considering them an unworthy team while they were under a monster's effect. However, he eventually joins them after they save him.[30]

As the Gold Dino Charge Ranger, he uses the Gold Ptera Morpher bracer to transform and wields the Gold Ptera Saber.[29][5]

Sir Ivan is portrayed by Davi Santos.[9] In interviews, Mejia and Hyde spoke about how difficult it was to keep Santos' appearance in the show secret until after his character's debut. They and the other cast members would regularly take photos to post on Power Rangers' social media and would have to keep him out of the shot, and then they would take another photo with him in the group.[13] He returns in Power Rangers Beast Morphers.[14][15]

Recurring characters

edit

He directed a Tyrannosaurus to gather several dinosaurs and other ancient creatures to bond with the Energems to keep them safe and tricked Fury into taking a bomb to Sledge instead. However, it caused Sledge's ship to release several asteroids, which led to the extinction of the dinosaurs and Keeper's death[2] Despite this, he is found by Kendall, whom he instructs to help him gather the Energems to prepare for Sledge's return and provides counsel to the Rangers.[3]

By the present, Sledge returns and sends his captured outlaws to retrieve the Energems for him.[2][3][31] After several failed attempts, he manages to obtain the Purple Energem and kidnaps Keeper. However, the Rangers mount a rescue mission, take back the Energem, and cause Sledge's ship to crash on Earth.[32] Following the crash, Sledge discovers a clutch of Greenzilla eggs and leaves to plant around them around the world. To facilitate this, he fakes his death and manipulates Heckyl and Snide into distracting the Rangers for him.[33][34] After returning and using the Dark Energem to obliterate Arcanon and his forces,[35] Sledge abandons Snide and enacts his plan to use the Greenzillas help him tow the Earth to the planet Kamen 5, only for his ship and the Earth to be pulled into a black hole following the Dark Energem's destruction.[34] While traveling back in time to save the Earth from the black hole, the Rangers encounter a past version of Sledge before sending his ship and everyone aboard flying into the sun, killing them.[17][5][36]

edit

Heckyl is a humanoid alien with the ability to fire energy blasts from his hands from the planet Sentai 6, where he was transformed into the monstrous ammonite-themed Snide upon touching the Dark Energem while he was protecting it from Lord Arcanon. Following his transformation, the latter suppressed Heckyl's memories.[42]

Sometime later, Heckyl and Snide became one of Sledge's prisoners and locked in solitary confinement. Sledge releases Heckyl to help him obtain the Purple Energem in exchange for the latter becoming Sledge's partner. However, Fury steals the Energem first, leading to Heckyl being betrayed and thrown back in his cell.[32] Following Sledge's apparent death, Heckyl and Snide assert their authority and lead the former's forces in an attempt to take over the Earth.[28][33] Heckyl also enacts a separate plan to obtain the Energems by befriending the Rangers and infiltrating their ranks, only for them to discover his true intentions and connection to Snide due to his inability to control when his transformations occur.[44][45]

To maintain his standing with Sledge, Snide traces a destroyed Greenzilla egg in Amber Beach to the Rangers' headquarters and destroys it despite Kendall's best efforts to stop him. However, Heckyl arrives and fights him before helping the Rangers kill him and the Dark Energem after Sledge refuses to use the Magnabeam on Snide.[34] After helping the Rangers stop a past version of Sledge, Heckyl becomes a keeper and charged by Zenowing with protecting a past version of the Dark Energem.[17]

Heckyl is portrayed by Ryan Carter and Snide is voiced by Campbell Cooley.[9]

Lord Arcanon

edit

Lord Arcanon is a power-hungry, ruthless, calculating, multi-faced Statue of Liberty-themed intergalactic warlord who hired Sledge to capture outlaws for him in order to build an army to help him rule the universe. Millions of years ago, he went off to search for the Energems on the planet Sentai 6 before destroying it in the process.[46] Along the way, he forced Zenowing and Heckyl to hold the Dark Energem, resulting in Doomwing and Snide's creations respectively.[49][47] In the present, Arcanon tasks Singe with infiltrating Heckyl and Snide's ranks and report back on their activities before eventually coming to Earth himself to claim Sledge's bounties, re-imprison Heckyl and Snide, and assume control of their forces.[50][46] Utilizing the Dark Energem to strengthen himself, Arcanon nearly overpowers the Rangers before they manage to weaken him.

Lord Arcanon is voiced by Andy Grainger.

Singe

edit

Doomwing

edit

Doomwing is a cocky and manipulative Archaeopteryx-themed alien, servant of Lord Arcanon, and the evil half of Zenowing created from the Dark Energem.[46] Using his connection to Zenowing, Doomwing uses the Silver Energem to disguise himself as the Silver Ranger and manipulate the other Rangers into giving him information on their technology. However, the Rangers eventually discover the truth and build split emitters to separate Doomwing from Zenowing. Due to losing the Silver Energem in the process,[49] Doomwing attempts to prove his worth to Arcanon by re-merging with Zenowing and having Wrench revive an army of monsters to destroy the Rangers, only to be destroyed by Zenowing.[47]

Doomwing is voiced by Mark Wright.

Zenowing

edit

Zenowing is an Archaeopteryx-esque alien and Keeper's apprentice. After finding the Silver Energem, Lord Arcanon forced Zenowing to hold the Dark Energem, which caused him to develop an evil personality called Doomwing, who is loyal to Arcanon. Arriving on Earth, Zenowing encounters the Rangers and gains enough control to warn them of Doomwing. The Rangers build and use a split emitter to separate Zenowing from his evil side, allowing him to return to Keeper and warn him of the Dark Energem.[49]

Unlike the other Rangers, Zenowing utilizes a variant of the Dino Charge Morpher called the Titano Charge Morpher and the Titano Saber.[47][5]

Using his powers, he performed simple good deeds around Auckland until Sledge's monsters attack him.

  • Conductro and Screech (voiced by Kevin Keys) - A pair of music-themed monsters employed by Lord Arcanon. Conductro's baton can conduct anything while Screech's trumpet can turn anyone who hears it into enthralled zombies.
