521-TWOF
Lightning
Cruiser and Storm Blaster were hidden
inside an asteroid in the Omega Quadrant, which was apparently far from
Earth.
611-DDsc
On his Galaxy
Glider on a quest for Phantom
Ranger's Delta Megaship, Andros flew through a dense region of asteroids,
beyond which he suddenly screeched to a stop upon seeing the Delta Megaship, in its docking station, before
him.
629-DSR1
As the Megaship
was flying through space back toward Earth, an enormous asteroid dwarfing the ship
overtook it in a near miss, at which point Dark Specter came in over the viewscreen and
told the teens that Astronema belonged to him; if they returned
her, he would spare them.
Ashley pointed out that
his asteroid had missed them, and he replied, "Of course. It's headed
for Earth!"
Neither the Megaship's Megalasers at optimum range nor
numerous explosive devices could cause the asteroid noticeable damage.
As the Rangers
struggled to think of something they could do, Karone said Dark Specter had sent the asteroid,
which meant it had been programmed to hit Earth,
in which case she could get on the Dark
Fortress and reprogram it.
65 million years ago, an asteroid of the same
size and velocity as Dark Specter's asteroid had hit Earth with devastating effect: the cloud of dust
and water from the impact had covered the planet, shutting out nearly
all of the sunlight necessary to sustain life.
During this time, many plant species had died,
and scientists believed that this might have caused the extinction of
the dinosaurs.
630-DSR2
With the help of the Mega Winger, the Rangers used their Zords to push the asteroid off its Earth-bound trajectory.
643-CTD2
Exploding in a giant fireball upon his destruction in orbit, Dark Specter's pieces rained down on Earth as flaming chunks of rock.
720-LGb2
3,000 ago, the Rhino, Phoenix, and the Shark Galactabeasts had lost their powers in a great battle, doomed to float forever in an asteroid field.
Deviot had at some point captured the three
defeated Galactabeasts and rebuilt
them for his slaves at a large construction area in a valley on a
vast asteroid.
724-GrCr
Somewhere between the Milky Way and the Eurolean Galaxy was a large, rapidly moving
meteoroid field which impacted with a planet
with yellow continents and white "oceans," blowing the planet up.
The meteoroid field was moving at a velocity of
1.3 trillion meters per <unknown time interval>.
A meteoroid which struck the Scorpion Stinger was a medium-sized rock with glowing red sections fading out; the rock was wrapped in craggly black vein-like shapes.
After the initial impact, Kegler reported another field with rocks the size
of fire trucks heading for them.
The meteor storm, as Trakeena called it, eventually arrived, causing
significant rumbling aboard the Scorpion
Stinger until the ship managed to fly out.
820-OPrj
In the skull
castle, Olympius showed Queen Bansheera something on the viewing blob:
a giant spiked asteroid glowing red from within; Olympius said it was so powerful it would
completely obliterate Mariner Bay in just
seconds.
Queen Bansheera was
very impressed, exclaiming it was brilliant, as even the Rangers wouldn't be able to stop it.
The giant spiked asteroid drifted toward Earth, along with accompanying smaller chunks, some
oblong fragments, perhaps a shiny red/brown in color.
The Lightspeed
Solarzord's energy bombardment from Earth
pelted the asteroid, but Miss
Fairweather later realized the Zord didn't stand a chance of
bringing it down.
Approaching, the Solarzord-Rail
Rescue train was pelted by smaller (Zord-sized) rocks.
As the Omega
Crawler began to leave the asteroid after depositing two explosive
canisters in its surface, Queen Bansheera's
voice asked from the Skull Cavern if they
were leaving so soon, and jagged rocky spikes arose, grinding around the
crawler and holding it against the asteroid with grinding pressure.
Flashes of mini-explosions in blew off the rocky
spines touching the Megazord as it began to transform into Omega Megazord mode.
To detonate the explosives manually, the Rangers plunged the tip of the Omega Megazord's staff into the asteroid's surface,
and giant explosions erupted from the asteroid.
Two perpendicular green shockwaves flew out, and
the asteroid blew apart into hundreds of pieces with a huge fireball.
MMPR: The Movie
"Ryan's Comet" was a
flaming mass which passed between the moon and
the Earth; comets are ordinarily much larger,
pass much further away from the Earth, travel at
much greater velocities, and are made of ice.
"Ryan's Comet" destroyed Hornitor-Ivan with a huge explosion which probably
destroyed the "comet" as well.
"Asteroids."
