Icon-mightymorphinThis article is about a group of monsters in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

The Scarlet Sentinels were a trio of monsters created by Lord Zedd and served as the primary antagonists of the iconic two-part episode "White Light".

Team History[]

With Zordon and Alpha gone with no explanation, Lord Zedd decided to create a powerful monster from the Sentinel Statue in Angel Grove Park to keep the Power Rangers busy and hopefully destroy them. However, Nimrod was so powerful that she'd need time to fully bake and gain her monster form which forced him to defend it with the Putty Patrol when Zack stumbled upon the statue which was dripping green slime. Though the Putties were wiped out easily, the Rangers withdrew to the Command Center to find out why Zack didn't hear from Zordon earlier on but Zedd got bored and forced Nimrod to fully animate herself from the Sentinel Statue. Nimrod caused a massive earthquake which forced the Power Rangers to morph and confront her in the park. Zack tried to cut her down with his Blade Blaster but she jumped up and struck him down with one swing of her staff. As the Rangers regrouped around him, Nimrod blasted them down with a blast from her staff and fired a stream of lightning from her mouth although the Rangers managed to duck this. Zedd then threw a Growth Bomb and Nimrod grew before blasting the Rangers who shrugged it off and called for the Thunderzords. They formed the Thunder Megazord but Nimrod summoned two monsters named AC and DC who combined their powers with her own and took out the Megazord. This devastating attack crippled the Megazord causing massive damage and taking it out of action, forcing the Rangers to retreat.

Billy fled back to the Command Center whilst the others fled back to his lab. With nothing to do, Nimrod dispelled AC and DC and apparently teleported back to the Moon Palace until further notice. Goldar reported to Zedd that the Rangers had fled after their defeat and Zedd decided to proceed with his plans for Tommy until the Power Rangers returned so that the Scarlet Sentinels could finish them off.  Later, Zedd sent Nimrod back down to Angel Grove where she attacked the industrial center to lure out and finish off the Rangers. However, the Thunderzords were still being repaired by Billy and Trini and the other three were fighting Putties who were trying to access Rita Repulsa's dumpster.  Luckily, Alpha and Zordon's absence was to create the Mighty Morphin White Power Ranger identity to give to the recently de-powered Tommy Oliver. He was forced to fight Nimrod alone as Tommy arrived on scene and immediately summoned the new White Tigerzord with the help of his new sentient sword Saba although it initially lacked proper control due to Saba’s inexperience.  They quickly got their acts together and mounted the Zord so Nimrod blasted it with her energy balls but the new Zord and it’s pilots were unfazed. The White Tigerzord overwhelmed Nimrod with a roar before Tommy entered the cockpit and changed it into Warrior Mode which had a sword made from the Zord’s tail. Using it, they easily matched Nimrod move for move and pushed down her scepter before stunning her with a sliding slash followed up with three slashes. Tommy then ordered Saba to make the Zord duplicate his moves before he punched her in the face three times and sent her flying with a high right kick. Tommy then inserted a crystal ball into a slot in the White Tigerzord and took down Nimrod with the White Tigerzord’s signature White Tiger Thunderbolt but Nimrod was not done and summoned AC and DC. Tommy was confident that he’d be able to thrash them despite being heavily outnumbered but AC and DC overwhelmed the Tigerzord their speed and slashed them with their swords. Nimrod and her thugs then surrounded the White Tigerzord on three sides and unleashed a massive barrage of energy balls, knocking the Tigerzord back into Tiger Mode and ejecting Tommy from it.

As the Scarlet Sentinels advanced on his Zord to destroy it, Tommy called for help from Jason and managed to get the White Tigerzord back on its feet just as the Red Dragon Thunderzord arrived and it rode the Tigerzord into battle, turning the tide by jabbing AC and DC aside with it’s staff and slashing Nimrod across her waist. AC and DC charged and Nimrod barraged the two with her energy balls but they were unfazed and Tommy had the Red Dragon Thunderzord eject from the White Tigerzord. Tommy then re-entered his Zord and turned it back into Warrior Mode immediately before the Unicorn, Griffin, Lion and Firebird Thunderzords arrived with Zordon having apparently sent them through remote control. Tommy had the Zords combine which formed the new Mega Tigerzord to Nimrod and her flunkies’ shock. Nimrod and her goons fired the same attack that decimated the Thunder Megazord previously but the Mega Tigerzord just walked on through the blasts. AC and DC cowered behind Nimrod but she forced them into battle despite themselves so they took to the air and vaulted off of Nimrod’s face to gain an aerial advantage. However, the Mega Tigerzord punched them back into Nimrod, knocking all three down as the Mega Tigerzord powered up its finishing attack. As Nimrod insulted her minions for failing so miserably, the Mega Tigerzord unleashed the flaming Firebird Thunderzord and set it alight before it mortally wounded all three Scarlet Sentinels and. As the Firebird Thunderzord reattached, AC and DC vanished into oblivion while Nimrod dropped her staff before she fell on her face and exploded.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Combined Power: Nimrod was one of Lord Zedd's most powerful monsters and proved a force to be reckoned with. Nimrod, even compared to previous monsters, is very powerful and already strong by herself, her power was only amplified by teaming up with AC and DC. Together, the trio were able to defeat the Thunder Megazord and  White Tigerzord in Warrior Mode and it ultimately took the Mega Tigerzord to defeat them. However, later monsters like Goldgoyle and Tankenstein are far superior to her in terms of firepower and strength.

Nimrod[]

  • Strength: Nimrod possesses a great deal of strength that is stronger then other monsters.
  • Extraordinary Leaper: Nimrod can leap an incredible distance.
  • AC & DC Summoning: Nimrod can summon two monsters, similar to him, to aid her in battle.
  • Energy Blast: Nimrod can unleash an energy blast.
  • Energy Balls: Nimrod can fire light orange colored energy balls from his hands.
  • Lighting Balls: Nimrod can also fire light pink colored lightning balls from his hands.
  • Lighting Breath: Nimrod can fire light green colored lightning beams from his mouth, it also has orange lighting as splash effect.
  • Energy Laser Ambush: Nimrod can fire a spread of light orange and light pink colored energy lasers from the rings on his shoulders.

Arsenal[]

  • Lightning Staff: Nimrod carries a lightning staff for combat.
    • Lightning Beams: Nimrod can fire light green colored lightning beams from his staff.

All[]

  • Hand to Hand Combat: Nimrod and his flunkies were very skilled when it came to close quarters combat, being able to defeat the Tigerzord in Warrior Mode with ease.
  • Experts in Armed Combat: Nimrod and his minions easily broke through the White Tigerzord's defenses and struck it with their weapons at least once.
  • Energy Balls: Nimrod and AC and DC can all fire light orange colored energy balls from their hands. When used in one big attack, it knocked Tommy out of his cockpit and forced the Tigerzord back into its Tiger Mode.
  • Sentinel Strike: The combined attack of the Scarlet Sentinels and their most powerful move. Nimrod would summon their minions and they would all fire in unison, Nimrod firing a barrage of energy balls from her left hand and AC and DC firing red-orange lightning from their swords. This was strong enough to take out the Thunder Megazord with one hit but had no effect on the Mega Tigerzord.

Behind the scenes[]

  • The Dairanger versions of AC and DC were female and all three were sisters with Nimrod being the eldest and AC being the youngest.

Portrayal[]

  • Nimrod was voiced by Brianne Siddall and oddly has the same voice that she would later give to Vase Face in the season finale. AC and DC were completely silent and did not so much as grunt.

Nimrod with AC and DC[]

Notes[]

  • In the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie game for the Sega Genesis, the monsters were referred to as S. Sentinel Ring, S. Sentinel Ear, and S. Sentinel Neck, a reference to the Three Ladies: Lady Ring (Nimrod), Lady Earring (AC), and Lady Necklace (DC).
  • Nimrod is one of the strongest and most powerful monsters in the entire Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series, having a wide arsenal of abilities, being able to outmatch the Thunder Megazord and being more then a match for the new White Tigerzord, it took the power of the Mega Tigerzord to take out Nimrod.
  • "AC" and "DC" mean "alternative current" and "direct current" which is also the origin of the name of the popular rock band AC/DC.
  • AC and DC seem to cease existing when the Scarlet Sentinel was destroyed.
  • Nimrod the Scarlet Sentinel is probably named after the Marvel Comics character Nimrod, a Sentinel from an alternate future, which is also red.
  • The Scarlet Sentinels were among the few monsters from the TV show adapted to the Boom! Studios comic series.
