, unnamed islands in the Atlantic and Pacific, Saint Lucia
, Istanbul
, London
, Portugal
, Indonesia
, Norway
, Mexico
, Egypt
, Florida
, Greece
and Japan

In early pre-production, on July 26, 2006, the series' logo was posted on a fan message board called "Fuñaroboard." This same logo was later featured on the Disney website, RangerSecrets.com, as part of the preview for the series. The logo is very similar to that of the parent series Boukenger in the basic design and format.
On November 14, 2006, Disney had set up its official website for Power Rangers Operation Overdrive.
that were long ago taken from the Corona Aurora (literally "Crown
of the Dawn"), so as to prevent them from coming into the possession of Moltor and Flurious, who are brothers banished long ago by the Coronas guardian for having attempted to steal it. When the billionaire explorer Andrew Hartford discovered the Corona Aurora, they escaped their exile and rallied their allies. In response, Andrew Hartford selected the talented youths and modified their DNA
so as to grant them exceptional physical powers by which to combat the evil
. Although Moltor and Flurious initially attempted to work together, they soon became rivals. The Corona Aurora fell into Moltor's hands; yet without its jewels, it could not grant the owner universal power
. Later, the evil warriors Kamdor and Miratrix began hunting for the jewels, as did the extraterrestrial 'Fearcats'. Now the Rangers, joined by a Mercurian named Tyzonn who joined their ranks as the Mercury Ranger, are forced to fight multiple villain
s and travel worldwide in the effort to capture the jewels before their enemies can.
In order to accomplish this purpose, the members of Operation Overdrive are equipped with futuristic technology
similar to that featured in previous Power Ranger continuities, which improves in sophistication and power
with successive episodes. Each time a new Ranger, new weapon, or (in one subplot, if not more) new reason for battle is introduced, that Ranger, weapon, or reason produces the decimation of one major enemy (such as Kamdor and Miratrix) or a host of foot soldiers. Thereafter the odds resume their former state. The physical powers granted by genetic modification are seldom used, seen, or mentioned, except when one or more Rangers is rescued by their use. Throughout the series, legends are included or invented to give a feeling of antiquity: these include Thor
's Hammer, Atlantis
, and Poseidon
, who is mentioned under the Roman name Neptune
.
Mackenzie "Mack" Hartford: The Red Ranger; a fan of adventure stories. His physical power is apparently superhuman strength
. He is the android 'son' of Andrew Hartford, who acts as the team's dispatcher
. As an android, he has an infallible memory
that can be accessed via a computer
. The revelation of Mack's true nature caused some conflict between himself and his creator, who had concealed this truth from him until revealing it became necessary during the course of the series. Thereafter Mack became reckless of his own life (which he believed to be worth less than a human's), which he often put deliberately into danger during the battles subsequent to the revelation of his nature. He is portrayed by James Maclurcan
.
William "Will" Aston
:The Black Ranger; a spy-for-hire with the physical powers of enhanced hearing
and sight
. Before being recruited, Will was carrying out a mission in Brazil

s or the oracular powers of a chalice
. He is portrayed by Samuell Benta
.
Dax Lo: The Blue Ranger; an under-appreciated stunt actor and practical joker with the power to leap immense distances. Prior to becoming a Ranger, Dax was working in Hollywood
. Dax is often the source of comic relief
in the series. He is portrayed by Gareth Yuen

racer
. Her physical power is superhuman speed
. Before becoming a Ranger, Ronny was competing in an Italian
race. She is portrayed by Caitlin Murphy

, though she has been made a figure of fun on some occasions. Her power is invisibility
. Before she became a Power Ranger, Rose was studying in London
. She is portrayed by Rhoda Montemayor
.
Tyzonn: The Mercury Ranger; a Mercurian with the ability
to transform his body into mercury. He followed the Fearcats to Earth

Zords
As with every Power Rangers series, each Ranger gets his or her own personal Zord that can form a larger Megazord. In Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, these are collectively referred to as the DriveMax Zords and are based on exploration, construction, demolition, and emergency vehicles. The Megazord's arms can also be interchangeable with the others. Many of these Zords are similar to the Auxiliary Dino Zords of Power Rangers Dino Thunder and some of the Auxiliary Wild Zords of Power Rangers Wild Force in that they usually replace one of the arms of the core Megazord, except the Sonic Streaker.Episodes
