Well actually, it was the Hatchasaurus they were fighting, but powering it was the Cardiotron.
This also let him call upon the Dragon Shield, and he needed every bit of the extra power to take out the Cardiotron. There was a small stint where the Red Ranger had Tommy's Dragon Dagger, allowing him to call upon the Dragonzord when the need arose. New Red Rangers may come along, but Jason will always be one of the best. He even dubs him a "rookie", but eventually, Cole gets the Jason seal of approval. It turns out Jason hasn't lost a step, and in fact essentially single handily takes out General Venjix, showing the newest Red Ranger Cole the ropes. Jason is initially hesitant, but shows up on a motorcycle saying "You didn't think I was going to let you do this without the original Red Ranger, did you?" Tommy reaches out to the original Red Ranger, Jason Scott, to join a collection of 9 other Red Rangers to take out the Machine Empire once and for all. He's able to enlist the help of Tommy Oliver, who became the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo. The remains of the Machine Empire discover the resting place of Lord Zedd's mighty Zord Serpentera and seek to recover it, but the Red Space Ranger Andros finds out about the plan. It's the same reason that this list does not include Jason's stint as the Gold Ranger, so with the rationalization out of the way here's what happened. Okay, so this is right on the outskirts of cheating, but it still counts because Jason was the actual Red Ranger here, as he was in the original series. While he does eventually get thrown off, it was an admirable feat, and it takes all six Rangers and the help of Dragonzord and Megazord to ultimately take him down. Jason then leaps onto the car and rides on the roof as it swerves around the quarry, dodging laser fire from the Lizzinator. A punch to the face sends Jason reeling though, and the Putty starts to drive off. Eventually, an abandoned car is taken over by a Putty, and Jason attempts to take him out of the driver's seat. In any case, Jason takes him on one on one for a bit until the other Rangers arrive. If that wasn't enough, he even talked with a very Schwarzenegger-like accent to seal the deal. In this episode, Rita sent down her latest creation The Lizzinator, which as you might guess is a not so subtle reference to the Terminator. Without further ado, it's time to get started with an episode from season 1 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. With so many to choose from, it was hard to narrow it down to just five, but there were a few that stood out among the rest. His loyalty, determination, and strategic mind are all reasons why he continues to be a fan favorite, so thought it would be a great time to look back on the Red Ranger's best moments. John), has made several returns throughout the series, both in Red Ranger form and in others (like Zeo's Gold Ranger). In fact, it's a big part of the reason that the character (played by Austin St. Jason's constant drive to become not only the best at what he does but also the best leader for his team is unmatched.
