Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger (機界戦隊ゼンカイジャー Ki-kai Sentai Zenkaijā?)[1], translated as Machine World Squadron Full Throttle Ranger, is the 45th season of Super Sentai.
Story[]
The Starhunters are an alien tribe that steals all life energy on other planets, gathering the energy in the sixth dimension using "King Medal" and bringing it under their control. Soon they created "Knight Medal" when "King Medal" was not able to absorb all the energy. Hoping to conquer the Earth in one fell swoop, since they believed it would not offer much resistance, they brought along both medals. Fortunately, the ship carrying both medals got hit by crossfire in a war that was going on down on Earth. The medals were lost as the ship exploded in Siberia. The Starhunters were soon forced to retreat and create new medals.
One of the medals was broken into 5 pieces. The broken medal was taken by researchers headed by Dr. Earth, and the complete medal was taken by Dr. Heart. One day, Heart's research lab exploded and the medal was nowhere to be found. Later Dr. Earth realized that monsters that had begun to appear were humans that had absorbed the energy from the missing medal when the lab exploded, and now are using them for evil to take revenge on those who wrong them in the past.
Upon further research, Dr. Earth created the "SportDetector" to control the five broken pieces and special suits to utilize each piece's unique power. He gave five of his children the suits to stop these monsters.
Meanwhile, the Starhunters are preparing their new invasion of Earth.
