Colonel Truman's son Scott and his friends Flynn and Summer morphed into Ranger Red, Ranger Blue and Ranger Yellow then in their Zord vehicles headed for the base. After finding the power cells in the underground corridors the rangers head back to their zords but are attacked by Grinders, the rangers unleash their weapons: Street Sabre, Turbo Cannon, Zip Charger and destroy the Grinders but soon flying Drones open fire and the rangers jump to safety as the Drones hit the power cells causing a massive explosion.

Dr K says they can use them instead of the power cells and Colonel Truman congratulates his son.

Venjix has sent his Laser Bot to attack the dome, But his laser blasts don't cause much damage, so Venjix makes it grow.

As Dr K has control of the dome's weather system she starts a snow storm to confuse the robot giving the rangers time to call their zords. The blue ranger opens fire destroying a half-constructed building that causes all of its griders to fall pinning down the robot.

Suddenly the real megazord charges in with its Super Sabre destroying the robot.

Rangers green and black attach their Wolf and Shark zords to the Megazord but even their power can't damage the force field. They need to try something different, ranger black jumps into the Grinder's flying drone and fire's at the massive Grinder. It worked, it destroyed the force field.

Issue 81 - The Gripper Grinders

December 8, 2010

While reviewing the rangers latest battle with the grinders, Dr K believes that they could have won more easily if they had used their special capabilities. The alarm sounds so the rangers go to investigate outside of the dome, nothing there except some corrosion on the dome wall. Suddenly General Crunch appears with special grinders on motorbikes. A grinder jumps and grabs a hold of ranger green, he can't break free so ranger green teleports away, just in time as the special grinder explodes. Two more grinders grab ranger's red and yellow so ranger blue freezes time long enough for him to throw both grinders together saving the others. Ranger black does the same with another two grinders while activating his invincibility shield to protect himself from the explosion. Knowing he can't win General Crunch retreats. Back at the base Dr K now trusts the rangers to make their own decisions while in battle as the corrosion they found on the dome wall was acid rain pollution. If the rangers hadn't gone out of the dome they wouldn't have found the corrosion which would have destroyed the wall letting Venjix to walk right in. After teleporting away from the exploding grinder ranger green appears inside Dr K's cupboard.
