Description
Ahhh, the good ol O.G. (for me at least). Alpha 5 was the robotic ally I grew up with and remember most through the first few seasons of Power Rangers. The signature "Ay yi yi yi yi!", the robotic hand movements and saucer head = classic.Alpha predominately took care of the zords, the command center, helped the rangers at times, and was kinda childish. He's Zordon's right hand man in a sense and at least form my memory, was a source of comedy that wasn't just physical pie-smashing ala Bulk and Skull.
There were some other 'Alphas' as well, just previous/successive models. But 5 is the one I know and remember fondly. If I remember correctly, Alpha 6 was god awful. As such, I only plan to make this guy here, not the other 'Alphas', nor Alpha 5's design from the movie. His design kinda had a few minor differences from season to season so I tried to find a little bit of a middle ground.
Everything here is my hard work. Please don't touch anything without permission. Thanks.

I thought Alpha 5 was shorter and stockier than most people. Is this him in ranger form?

"My memory is a little fuzzy on the details, but the short of it is Tommy, between leaving in Turbo and reappearing in Forever Red, goes to Zordon's homeworld of Eltar around Lost Galaxy/Lightspeed Rescue timewise. There he finds the remains of Alpha 5 and takes him to be rebuilt as Alpha 7 (the one you saw in Forever Red)."- Amit Bhaumik, writer of Forever Red

If I remember correctly, the only major difference between Alpha 5 and Alpha 6 were the lighting bolts on their chest plates. Alpha 6 was also shinier.

Different legs, arms, helmet was slightly different, chest had other changes beside lightning bolt, accent was terrrrrrrrrible.

Alpha 6 got tweaked in Power Rangers In Space in order to be more like his predecessor.

I know. He sounded nothing like Alpha 5 at least in terms of his actual voice.

AAAGG, you hit me right in the Nostalgia bone. You did an awesome job on good old Alpha 5. Brings a man-tear to my eye.
