When a General arrives with a new squad of Cyborg Rangers, the Lightspeed team is forced to step down from duty. However, when the machines go haywire during a battle with a lightning-throwing demon, it's up to the team to stop them.
Tropes in this episode include:
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The Cyborg Rangers malfunction after being struck by lightning.
- Break the Haughty: The General and his underlings' smug demeanor is quickly replaced by despair and panic once the Cyborg Rangers go haywire.
- General Ripper: General McKnight.
- Job-Stealing Robot: The Cyborg Rangers. Fortunately, it doesn't last.
- Non-Indicative Name: Despite the name "Cyborg" rangers, they're more like androids.
- Psycho Rangers: The Cyborg Rangers aren't conceived as this, meant to replace the human rangers, but once their programming gets fried they're full on crazy.
- Smug Snake: General McKnight and Dr. Harlan reek of this trope so bad, you're just waiting for someone to punch them in the face.
- Turn in Your Badge: General McKnight forcibly makes the Rangers turn in their morphers.
