Full Revolution
- In the movie the "Ancient Ones" are revealed to be a race of stone beings similar to Rawkus who are called "The Karmordials" who (possibly after the alliance between the blues and reds) were banished to the "Primordiverse" (which is a huge sun surrounded by a rocky shell with a stone planet orbiting it). Battle Force 5 along with the last of the Penta Warriors, a race of Blue and Red Sentient hybrids, must fight the Karmordials before they conquer the Multiverse, with only a clue from Vert's father to help them. The movie was only released in Spain and Latin America and is known as "Total Revolution."
- The two Red Sentient members of the Council of 5 changed their forms.
- The "Penta Warriors" (a combination of the best traits between Red and Blue Sentients combined) are revealed.
- Vert's dad finally returns to Earth.
- It is revealed that the Red Sentient 5 shared the same fate as Krytus.
- Zorax is killed by Zemerik.
- Zemerik is no longer effected by the Alpha Code.
- Zemrik and Zug are still alive.
