Mackenzie "Mack" Hartford
A man named Andrew Hartford wanted a son but, due to his work, was never able to meet the right woman. He decided to build an android and name him Mack. Mack was programmed with memories of a childhood, so he could live as a normal teenager. Andrew and his butler, Spencer, then photoshopped old photographs to include pictures of Mack when he was a "child." Mack continued his existence not knowing of his true origins. Outgoing and enthusiastic, he was sheltered by his father and had the desire to prove himself. Mack is heavily into adventure novels and other escapist fantasies. He was the only Ranger not deliberately recruited, being involved in Operation Overdrive by accident and against his father's initial wishes.
Mack takes failure badly, almost quitting from the team when he failed to protect a civilian on one occasion. He showed bravery and quick tactical thinking in his first battle and has been quickly accepted and trusted as leader by the other Rangers. He has a close relationship with the household butler Spencer. His father's over-protectiveness is shown in the second episode, where Spencer increases the power of the Genetic Scrambler, granting Mack power which appears greater than the other Rangers; this is also one of the first reasons which explains why the Red Ranger is always more powerful then the other rangers. Mack was transformed into a human by the completed Corona Aurora in the final episode

Power and Equipment
Mack has superhuman strength- originally believed to be a genetic power - that was deliberately given to him by Spencer to reassure Andrew that he'd be safe. In Home and Away, it was shown that he can be quickly programmed to pilot other Zords (such as the Flash Point Megazord) without the need for long training. (It is unknown if Mack, in human form, still possesses his superhuman strength or any of his other android abilities, but now as 'genetic enhancements'.)
His primary weapon is the Drive Lance, and he commands the Dump Driver, the Sonic Streaker and the Drive Commander Zords. Using the Sentinel Sword and technology originally meant for Zords (as it would kill a human to use), he can become the Red Sentinel Ranger; this level of power is intense, allowing him to destroy powerful enemies in one-on-one combat.
