Ay yi yi! We now have our official first look at Bill Hader's
Alpha 5 from Saban's upcoming
Power Rangers reboot in some brand new concept art released via
IGN.
The design has some nods to the original Alpha 5 through the head shape and color scheme, though some very clear liberties have been taken in making the robotic assistant stick closer to his alien roots, including two bulbous eyes and an exaggerated limb structure. With such a unique interpretation of the character, it will be interesting to see how Bryan Cranston's Zordon will be altered as well.
Do you like this reimagining of Alpha 5, or would you have preferred something a little closer to the original? Sound off below!
Power Rangers hits theatres on March 24, 2017.
Saban's Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.
