We've already gotten a eyeful with the new Rangers outfits and Elizabeth Banks's Rita Repulsa and Alpha 5 is set to match them, whether you like it or not.
IGN got its hands on the first concept art for the new look Alpha 5 from the upcoming reboot and to say he's gotten a makeover would be an understatement.

Bill Hader has been lined up to voice Zordon's trusty robo-sidekick but the new Alpha 5 looks less robot and more squidgy robo-alien hybrid.

@io9 Every image I see convinces me more and more that gritty reboots are a bad idea.

So Power Rangers has basically turned Alpha into one of the Xenomorphs from the Alien movies? What the hell? pic.twitter.com/sxRWPtmGGJ
