A soccer player, a computer expert, a singer and then eventually both an artist and a teacher with a long history of such situations become Power Rangers to help save Earth from the ruthless scheming of the dinosauric Mesogog who wishes to eradicate all human life and return Earth to the age of dinosaurs. Mesogog is assisted in his ways by Elsa, Zeltrax, and an army each of both Tyrannodrones and Triptoids as well as monsters that they call their Mutations.
In this season, Tommy Oliver, from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (starting from part 1 of season 1's 5-part story, 'Green With Evil') to Power Rangers Turbo (Tommy's last appearance in the franchise onwards would be in the final scene of part 2 of Turbo's two-part story 'Passing the Torch' (episodes 18 to 19)) fame with a guest appearance in Wild Force's Red Ranger team-up special 'Forever Red', returns as a paleontology professor in Reefside, California and so he is known as Dr. Tommy Oliver (sometimes named by some in short as Dr. O). When he is assigned three detention students by Principle Randall (the human disguise of Elsa): athlete Conner McKnight, computer expert Ethan James and singer Kira Ford. They end up finding three Dino Gems - one for each teen, paving the way for their destiny as Dino Rangers. Conner gains the powers of both the Tyrannozord and super running speed, Ethan gains the powers of both the Tricerazord and energy-formed skin-shield defense and Kira gains the powers of both the Pterazord and sonic screams.
Five episodes into the series, Tommy once again becomes a Power Ranger by bonding with the Black Dino Gem (and receiving its power of invisibility - the first of two Dino Gem powers related to stealth) and therefore becoming the Black Dino Ranger (and ultimately becoming the first Power Ranger in history to also bear the role of the mentor of a new team of Rangers) and they are also later joined by Anton Mercer's adopted son Trent (some media reveals his family name, after 'Mercer', to be 'Fernandez' - 'Fernandez-Mercer') as the White Dino Ranger, whose White Dino Gem grants him the power of camouflage (another Dino Gem power related to stealth) - before he joins, he must deal with the inner struggle of good and evil (as Tommy himself once had to do as the evil Green Ranger) because he gained his powers from a raw Dino Gem in Mesogog's lab, with the powers originally intended to be Mesogog's. Mesogog is, in fact, Trent's adopted father, who, in a faulty lab experiment, began to mutate into Mesogog. Trent later sides with good and saves his father from the mutation.
The Dino Rangers morph by drawing power from their respective Dino Gems, which Tommy grants Conner's, Ethan's and Kira's the ability to morph into Dino Morphers whenever needed (Morph call: "Dino Thunder, Power Up!"). They use their abilities to battle the villain Mesogog. By calling out "Super Dino Mode", the Power Rangers tap into the power of the dinosaurs, with spikes extending into view on their suits and, in the case of Kira, wings with Trent's own Super Dino Mode possessing an exclusive extra factor: bladed thin spikes extending from his hands. Each Dino Gems has a special power; red is speed; blue is armor; yellow is hyper screeching; black and white are similar, being invisibility and camouflage, which means Tommy and Trent both use stealth-themed powers with their Gems. In Power Rangers Dino Fury, the Dino Gems are revealed to be created by Morphin Masters.
During the course of the series, the team adds the following to its arsenal of Zords: Cephalozord (based on the Pachycephalosaurus), Dimetrozord (based on the Dimetrodon), Stegozord (based on the Stegosaurus), Parasaurzord (based on the Parasaurolophus), and Ankylozord (based on the Ankylosaurus). The Stegozord later combines with Trent's Dragozord (based on the Tupuxuara) to form the Dino Stegozord, effectively stealing the Stegozord. Tommy is paired with the Brachiozord (based on the Brachiosaurus), a carrier Zord for most, but not all, of the other Zords. Conner is also later given the powers of the Shield of Triumph to morph into the Triassic Ranger for extra power and pilots the Mezodon Rover/Megazord (based on the Styracosaurus), the Zord that corresponds with the Triassic Ranger powers, which can combine with the Cephalo, Dimetro, Parasaur and Ankylozords to form the Triceramax Megazord.
At the end of the series, the Rangers destroy Mesogog with their raw Dino Gem powers combined into a single last-resort attack which burns out the gems in the process beyond any possibility of the powers restoring at all (Just before this final battle, they are forced to sacrifice the Zords in their last battle with Zeltrax). Finally they return to their normal lives.

***DUE TOTHE RECENT HEALTH CRISIS,
ALL ITEMS ARE CLEANED AS THOROUGHLY AS POSSIBLE… WHEN POSSIBLE… BEFORE
SHIPPING, THANK YOU.
***DETAILS: I try to be as accurate about the description of my items to the
best of my ability, most of the time by researching each item using Wikipedia and
other sources. In the unlikely case of any incorrect details, please
email me so corrections can be made.
***CONDITION: I inspect
each item as closely as possible and give you the best description I
can. You can feel confident in the condition description of what you
are bidding on and will not have to worry about any surprises. Please
look at the pictures as they are of the exact item you will be bidding
for....and please forgive the sometimes-obvious camera reflections
& imperfections of my very amateur photography skills.
***GUARANTEES: I
personally test each open box item (when possible) & guarantee it to
perform FLAWLESSLY. Some electronic playback devices are more sensitive
and/or accurate than others, therefore, items such as CD's, DVD's, VHS
& other tapes may play differently than when tested.
I guarantee all items to be thoroughly tested and the results of
those tests documented for you to see in the description. You can
feel confident on your purchase because all items are backed by the eBay
Protection Policy as well. Should any item not perform as
expected, please contact me to process the return / refund procedure listed.
***RETURNS: Returns
are always accepted in the condition shipped
UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. Please
follow the instructions provided regarding that particular sale. Due to
recent and general health reasons, clothing items (especially "undergarments") that
have been opened are NOT RETURNABLE and will not
be accepted back... so please choose wisely.
***HONEST SHIPPING: You get
to choose how you want to have the item shipped. Once you make your choice, the
shipping company charges you the rate. I do not get involved in those
prices, this way you know I am not making money off the shipping (like so many
sellers do), and you are not getting ripped off!
***DISCOUNTED SHIPPING RATES FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS (COMBINED
SHIPPING): If you purchase more than 1 item,
I will bundle the items into one package which in almost every case will reduce
your total shipping cost by whatever the shipping carrier allows.
***HOW TO COMBINE SHIPPING: Choose to
“Checkout” …then in the upper right hand corner displaying the items, choose
“Request Total”…this prompts me to send you an invoice updating combined item
charges. After receiving the invoice, choose which carrier &
service you want, and in almost every case, this will save you money.
***CONTACT: Please
feel free to email me with any questions you may have about anything, including
items that might not be posted on eBay yet or even items you are looking for.
***FEEDBACK: PLEASE
take a minute to read any of my feedback as that will give you a glimpse of how
pleased you will be when getting an item from me. Please be honest
when giving feedback to me as I will do the same for
you. ALSO, when giving feedback, PLEASE understand that I do
not personally MAKE any of the items.
Note: Times
have been tough for everyone, especially lately. So, I find
items that I might be able to resell on eBay to help pay the
bills. Hopefully in the process you can find what you are looking for and
buy it at a considerable discount, saving you money too. Kindly remember
that with every item you purchase, I donate a percentage to a
charity, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia (CHOP) so feel good about helping me help others less fortunate as
well.
Thank you for considering one or more of my items...hope to be
able to serve you.
Rev. David R. Curtis
