- "Battle Grid Alert! Troopers, prepare for Battle Grid Mode."
- ―Professor Hart
Professor Horatio Hart is the mentor and serves a Zordon-like role. He was a computerized being who would provide and construct the necessary arsenal and equipment that the Troopers would use throughout the series. Hart was once a flesh and blood human who worked with Tyler Steele on the VR Trooper project. But one day, he was mortally injured by Grimlord; to keep Hart alive, Tyler virtualized his brain. In his most notable role in the episode "Good Trooper, Bad Trooper", he gave Ryan his own Virtualizer to allow Ryan to battle his evil clone after the clone stole the real Ryan's Virtualizer and took control of the Skybase. He also gave helpful tips in battle whenever the Troopers were in a jam, such as in the first episode when he informed JB he has a laser lance that could be used to defeat Kongbot.
