Storyline

Industrialist Carl Ziktor's virtual alter-ego Grimlord worked on the creation of an army made of warrior robots. And, before he became missing for two years, Ryan Steel's father worked with Professor Hart to prevent Grimlord's efforts by developing the ultimate weapon using the most advanced technology man had ever seen to stop him. Now, with the help of his friends J.B. and Kaitlin, Ryan and his friends use the VR power to prevent Grimlord's army from crossing over into our reality from Virtual Reality--and ruling it. However, will Ryan ever find his father?

Trivia

The footage that appears on some of the Power Rangers tapes seems to have come from an unbroadcast pilot. Besides the CGI Professor Hart, it also included a scene where Jeb got shocked by some of the equipment in Hart's lab and gained his human-level intelligence. How Jeb became smart was never discussed in the series.

I found it interesting

This was a somewhat interesting show. It had an original premise and an interesting group of characters. Granted, the show seemed like a rip off of any of those Power Rangers shows, but the show quickly established an identity for itself. It's a shame it was cancelled after only a couple seasons or so, it was just getting very interesting.
