The recent Power Rangers reboot could easily be described as one giant easter egg, but a Time Force reference might be one of the most subtle.

It occurred during one of the film’s concluding segments, where Trini’s brothers are helping her paint her bedroom walls. The camera catches some of her artwork and pictures hanging on the wall, and there is a red sketch of an owl with rather large eyes. That seems to be a reference to Circuit from Power Rangers Time Force.
Now he doesn’t feature the electronic elements like Circuit does, but it’s pretty safe to assume an owl just didn’t get there by chance. The easter egg was noticed by JLSProblemDog, and you can see the image of the reference below.
Circuit was essentially the Alpha 5 of the Time Force Rangers but was actually created by the Green Time Force Ranger Trip. Circuit serves as the group’s guide and helps them with equipment and weapons. While he’s very busy, you can often find him in Trip’s backpack, because why not right?
You can find the description for Power Rangers below.
“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.”
As part of the 24-year-old global phenomenon and based on the five Rangers from the original TV series, “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,”, the reimagined movie features a modern generation of Rangers including Dacre Montgomery (TV’s “Stranger Things”) as Jason the Red Ranger, Naomi Scott (The 33) as Kimberly the Pink Ranger, RJ Cyler (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) as Billy the Blue Ranger, Ludi Lin (Monster Hunt) as Zack the Black Ranger, and Becky G. (Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising) as Trini the Yellow Ranger, as they attempt to stop the evil and unpredictable Rita Repulsa (played by Elizabeth Banks, The Hunger Games Franchise) from destroying their city…and ultimately the world. Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”) as Zordon, and Bill Hader (Finding Dory) as Alpha 5 train the Rangers to morph and master their powers as a united team.
The Saban‘s Power Rangers DVD will include exclusive audio commentary with director Dean Israelite and writer John Gatins, and deleted/alternate/extended scenes and outtakes. Saban’s Power Rangers will be available on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, and DVD for the suggested retail price of $42.99, $39.99, and $29.95, respectively
Power Rangers is in stores now.
