Biography[]

Commander Burnside take in charge of Star Command and pleased to see Buzz Lightyear, but he also tells him that the colony has given up attempting to regain lightspeed capability and decides to live on T'Kani Prime, relying on a laser shield to protect the colony from the insects native. Buzz defies his orders to conduct one final test after he sends personnel to decommission Sox, which Burnside doing his best to stop him, he manages to get into his ship and successfully achieve hyperspeed this time after making the necessary adjustments to the formula that Sox suggested after doing excessive research to find a stable formula for the hyper crystal.

Later, it is revealed that in an alternate timeline, Buzz returned after a successful hyperspace test, but Burnside tries to have him arrested with his soldiers for disobeying his orders. This caused the alternate Buzz to escape at full speed and flew hundreds of years into the far future, where he encountered extremely advanced technology. He spent 50 years developing a way to travel back in time to prevent the Turnip from landing on T'Kani Prime and avoid stranding the ship upon the planet. Having worn out his own crystal through time travel and excessive usage, Old Buzz, who is revealed to be real identity of Zurg, needs a fresh crystal to power his ship and complete his mission which is the whole reason he lead his robots in the younger Buzz's timeline to enter the colony.

After the Zurg ship is destroyed by Buzz and his new team, Burnside arrived when he saves them from the last Zyclops. He is about to arrest Buzz, but he's impressed with his efforts and relents while revealing he has other plans for him to make him a space ranger again while accepting his new team. He gives them a new mission in the quadrant of sector 4.

Trivia[]

  • Burnside's personality is very similar to that of Commander Stanton from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.
  • Although he was angry that Buzz tried to take Star Command away from T'Kani Prime against their will despite the new generations never having been to Earth, Burnside didn't care that Buzz didn't want to stay on T'Kani Prime despite knowing he didn't born there, because he was willing to try to arrest him even though he knew he was trying to force him to stay against his will and felt no remorse for it, showing that he is a hypocrite.
