Re: Trakeena's Insect Transformation

I always felt the green form was the least appealing. Of course when she "returned" it was kind of implied she was undead by that point, after all the Light Speed Rescue season did feature the Tech vs Demons angle. Though Trakeena was far from the only female transformed.

We of course have Carron/Astronema from Power Rangers In Space who fits the corruption trope, raised by the villainous Apokiliptor, brain washed by the big bad when she turned out not to be evil and eventually going permanently good and taking over as Pink Galaxy Ranger (original pink written out so her actress could deal with her cancer, which she beat before the show ended surprisingly)

Power Rangers RPM (the darkest season) had Tayna-7 a human girl captured by the big bad and turned into a cyborg assassin, naturally this came with metal reprogramming to hate humans the rangers(one who was her brother) especially. Probably the ONLY time Power rangers delved into a body horror situation as Tanya did NOT react well to learning she was a cyborg and not pure robot.

Even Mighty Morphing had some process stuff. First we have the attempt by the villainous side kicks to convert the Pink Ranger into a new Empress of evil, they didn't know what they where doing so it.. didn't even slightly work. Then we have Kat, the second pink ranger, who started out as a shape shifting cat monster(the costume was clearly a kitsune)who though means never properly explained became human because she showed compassion but somehow also gained a past and human family?

Then there is the oddity of initial Big Bad Rita Repulsa, during In Space she and Lord Zed got reduced to rather pathetic means, a space trailer. But when all the big bags for annihilated they didn't, instead they became ordinary humans, because unlike the other monsters they felt love. Yea despite how they got together and being evil Rita and Zed genuinely loved each other. Then somehow, never explained, Rita became a goddess of goodness? I wanna know how the heck she managed that kind of heel face turn, Big Bad to Big Good.
