Let’s play a game: The Gokaiger adaptation isn’t season two of Megaforce, it’s a brand new series with a brand old cast. The six Rangers are all returning characters from previous Ranger teams, gathered together to face off against the most powerful evil ever. But which six Rangers? That’s where this tournament comes in.
We’re going to cast this team with the very best Red Ranger, very best Pink Ranger, very best Blue Ranger, very best Yellow Ranger, very best Grack/Bleen Ranger, and very best Sixth Ranger. The current team consists of: Red Ranger: Carter Grayson Yellow Ranger: Lily Chilman Blue Ranger: TJ Johnson Pink Ranger: Jen Scotts Green Ranger: Adam Park The rules are simple: the Rangers of each color fight it out to see which one stands at the top of their personal section of the rainbow. The winners will be determined by popular vote, feel encouraged to explain your choices to help sway the undecided. Fights are all-out brawls – any power-up or weapon is permitted, short of the Zords. Battles are decided by random selection and each character is represented for each of their colors (Rocky and TJ are in both Red and Blue, Tommy is in Red and Sixth, etc.). Rangers with multiple powers in the same color will be using the ones which are most unique to them (Adam is Zeo Green, Cassie is Space Pink, etc. – yes, this kinda shafts the Turbo Rangers, I know – all three Turbo fans are free to register their complaints). All major teams are represented, MMPR through Megaforce. Evil Rangers like the Psychos and A-Squad - as well as one-shot Rangers like Cat or SPD Red Bridge - are excluded. Now that we’ve got that covered, Let’s Morphing! -+-+-+- And so the tradition continues. Once again we have a match that could easily be the grand finals. This time, though, there's no obvious wrong choice that too many of you made. Jerks. Tommy "The dream killer" Oliver http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Tommy_Oliver vs. Anubis "Doggie" "Is it just me, or does my wife kinda look like an alien lizard/dog Whoopie Goldberg?" Cruger http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Anubis_Cruger Voting will last 24 hours. Will Tommy continue his seemingly relentless charge to the finals? Will his reign of terror meet its end at the hands of the man/dog/lizard who took down 100 foot soldiers in two minutes? Which Ranger will reign supreme? Allez Ranger! |

Look! I didn't vote for Tommy! And there's a very good reason for that. You see, Kruger is just stronger. Shadow Ranger's abilities, plus the decades of experience, plus the natural fighting skill of Doggie just brings him out far ahead in this one. Tommy just isn't that brand of Leader. He has power, sure. But he never inspired anyone like Kruger. Even his own students in Dino Thunder barely listened. Even after finding out their Teacher was an Ex-Ranger.
If you look at this honestly. And be honest with yourselves people if no one else. Then you'll Vote for Kruger too. |

This is probably the best match up we've had and why I wished Tommy would have made it in as Grack. Sorry Doggie my 7-year-old self says I have to vote for Tommy.

Don't make this a popularity contest. Kruger has better skills, better powers, and the ability to inspire those that follow him. There's no way he logically loses this.

That's because people only follow Tommy because they have to, so he has to do more alone. People follow Kruger because they want to. Because he makes them better. Name one person, on any MMPR team, Tommy has made better. One.

But what exactly are you basing that on? Why do you think he's stronger than Tommy as White? Does a sixth need to inspire others or does he just need to kick butt? I could see an actual fight between these two going either way. Power levels between the season are really hard to actually nail down even if Shadow Ranger seems a but OP.

Expert Swordsman And yes. See Tommy was always the defacto leader ever since he gained the White Tiger Power. And that is what we're counting him has here, White and Green. Not Black or Red. And he never once inspired any of his teammates, or made them better in any way. He was a LINO. Leader in Name Only. While Kruger did so much to help the B-Squad even before becoming Shadow. Helping them grow has people, as teammates, showing them each what they could truely accomplish. Saving kat, by himself, through one hundred enemies in under two minutes. Kruger is just better. |

I have a hard time bashing Kruger in any way except that he left them hanging a lot and was grumpy for no season. Tommy had the problem of being in the 90's fashionwise but his powers were great. Both have years of experience and Tommy brings more years as a Ranger to the table, even with just Green/White on his resume. Can't complain either way since Tommy should have been the Green of this team but I won't vote against the guy since he just doesn't lose. He certainly never lost his whole planet only to barely survive. I think that Kruger prefers not to fight and we should respect his wishes

Kruger.
Years of experience to the point that he's a capable leader on and off the field, in addition to being a ranger? Check. Battle training while forming the first SPD, in addition to formal training once SPD was established, and tons of field experience? Check. Cool, calm head, being wise enough to almost always make the call but having enough emotion to be a character? Check. Able to inspire and raise morale in dire situations? Check. There's a reason why Kruger is SPD Supreme Commander, while Tommy just lounges around the pool lazing around.
