Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center like Divatox did with the Power Chamber?

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

because the defenses were too strong which is why they couldn't do anything to it until they found a map of the basement tunnels which was a weak point for it.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

Zordon's arua was able to protect the Command Center and Power Chamber from outright attack. Dimitria did not have the same ability.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

I always thought it was wierd how Zedd and Rita knew where the Command Center was and Divatox didn't know where the Power Chamber was.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

We never really found out if the machines knew where the Power Chamber was.

They seemed to in "Mr Billy's Wild Ride".

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

Good point.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

yea that was always so weird.

you're right Lightspeed plus they also put that barrier around the Power Chamber which forced Billy to re-direct Trey's teleportation route so that he wouldn't crash into the barrier and be destroyed.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

Just shows how dumb Divatox was.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

Divatox never got the valuable intel from her rivals and somehow couldn't find the Power Chamber so easily.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

If they did know, why didn't the machines attack the base? They had more fire power than Zedd and Rita.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

just goes to show you that all villains had some kind of honor plus they probably didn't see it as a victory since their victory would have been destroying the Rangers and in general the Rangers weren't usually there for very long and even when they were there they weren't going to know who was there and who wasn't since it wasn't like they had an ability to look into the base like Rita and Zedd did.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

Destroying the Command Center/ Power Chamber would have devastated the Rangers. We actually saw this in Turbo.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

I don't think the bad guys could attack the Power Chamber while Zordon and Dimitria were there. Not as directly as they did. For some reason they were able to keep the base secret from Divatox. And its not like her rivals in the UAE would make it easy for her to defeat the Rangers.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

The villains in the early seasons were usually one dimensional and not very inventive most of the time. That served the stories they were trying to tell I guess.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

It has a lot to do with Dimitria being gone and strength in numbers. I think Zedd and Rita were more scared of Zordon then they let on. The Machines didn't really care about anything except conquering the Earth. They only stopped the Rangers for getting in their way. I don't think the Machines cared about attacking Zordon directly. They just wanted Earth to be their next conquest.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

did the Machines even know about Zordon to begin with? I can't remember any of them ever even referring to him.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

Thats a good question. You would think they would since everyone else seemed too.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

Zedd and Rita were connected with Zordon through the Morphing Grid. So they didn't risk openly attacking each other in major battle. The machines were more concerned with conquering the Earth and didn't care about Zordon. They had singular focus and only saw the Rangers as an obstacles to this. Divatox had no connection to the grid so didn't know where the Connand Center was. When she found out where it was it wasn't an issue to attack.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

The Power Chamber wasn't as protected as the Command Center. I don't know why the machine didn't take advantage of this.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

They probably were too arrogant to realize Zordon was a real threat. I was surprised that they didn't want the Zeo Crystal.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

It is funny how Divatox was the one to destory the Power Chambers. Rita and Zedd destroyed the Command Center but it was much more sneaky in how they had it done. Divatox just had it blown away.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

All the people who accuse Divatox of being not threatening, can't argue with the destruction of the Power Chamber being bad ass.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

Divatox was a great villain. She doesn't get the credit she deserves. People are too into dark villains in Power Rangers.

Re: Why didn't Zedd and Rita attack the Command Center?
 

Divatox diffinitly had a dark side. We saw it in the movie and the second half. I think Turner just played her better than Hoyt.
