Is Alpha 5 really dead?
 

Amit Bhaumik mentioned that he considered Alpha Five to have been killed during the Eltar invasion. This was when he visited the PR Newsgroup after Wild Force.

It's a good question but I don't believe he is since the Blue Senturion survived the attack and apparently so did the Robot Rangers.

I was so disappointed Alpha 5 never came back

Since it never was stated on screen the current writers could retcon it. While its possible Alpha died on Eltar. I like to think Six's new voice chip was from 5. Explaining why he acted like Alpha 5 in Space.

I think Alpha 5 is alive. I would like to think he retired to Edenoi after the defeat of Specter where the planet has been rebuilt since Dregon's defeat.

Maybe he did retire come to think of it

I was hoping the Rangers were going to find Alpha Five in Angel Grove during "Once A Ranger". But they decided to go with Six for some reason.

probably because Disney wasn't allowing them access to the original voice actors and they didn't want to taint such an iconic Alpha with a bad replacement voice.

But they replaced the original VA for Alpha 6 anyway?

If Alpha wasn't dead you would think he would have been in "Forever Red" rather then 7. But Amit wrote the episode and to him Alpha 5 had been destroyed.
