 In the five-part story "Quest For Power", Ryan's powers are depleted after rescuing his father and the other two Troopers from Grimlord's cavernous dungeon in reality.Ryan is then given new armor, powers, vehicles (including the Drill Tank, Blue Hawk, and Nitro Cycle) and weapons (including a laser pistol and his new finisher, the Laser Saber; which, like J.B's Laser Lance, only functioned as a regular sword in combat).He would also use a Shoulder Cannon similar to J.B's Technobazooka (always used on Grimlord's air forces, never on any monsters).
