The Power Rangers returned for their eighth season in 2000, and once again, the team changed into a different theme. This time, the team was revealed as the “Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue”. This was a brand new storyline, and not continued from previous seasons. This year, the show was about five regular teens that are recruited to battle demons for a government agency called “Lightspeed” in Military Bay, California. Lightspeed Rescue did feature a cameo appearance by the Lost Galaxy Rangers when Trakeena attacked Earth, forcing the two teams to combine forces.

The Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue consisted of five Power Ranger characters, Blue Ranger, Green Ranger, Pink Ranger, Red Ranger, and Yellow Ranger. They would be joined by the mysterious Titanium Ranger, who was later revealed as Ryan Mitchell. Instead of battling Evil Space Aliens, this group of Rangers would battle evil Demons led by Queen Bansheera, Prince Oympius, and Vypra. Like past versions, multiple waves of Rangers Lightspeed Rescue toys would fill retail retail aisles in 2000, featuring new action figures and accessories.

The Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue figures and accessories proved to popular with the kids who were watching the show at the time, but it was apparent that ratings and popularity were beginning to slip a bit. Toy sales were still going well, but not as strong as previous incarnations. Most items from the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue line of 2000 can still be easily found on the secondary market nowadays, with the bigger Zords, Morphers and vehicles being among the more coveted items.
