Okay, I am re-watching some of the first season of Mighty Morphin. I am on the episode Different Drum.

My question is, is this the only episode where the power weapons have alternate names?

If this was already asked before, I apologize, I haven't been on here in a while and really don't feel like going through a big number of posts.

Yeah, this is the sole time the original names from the preliminary scripts (the "no Bulk and Skull/Green Ranger is named Rocky" era) leaked through to the contemporary era of MMPR.

I've heard people claim that Cheryl Saban, who wrote the episode and is Mrs Haim, didn't like the names so she used names she liked better. Which doesn't really wash, since she never did anything like that ever again.

It sounds like its just a case of the writers forgetting to replace the names of the weapons with the new weapons. If I remember right that episode was a bulk and skull lite episode (where they even in it?) so they probably didn't make much changes to it after it was decided to rename the weapons and such. And missed it

Except of course that Different Drum was written by Julianne Klemm.
