Yeah, that's what I think as well since it's the most logical to me, but some people like to start with 1 instead of 0. However, I hope we can all agree that Timeranger is significant for giving us the iconic Super Sentai Series logo that is still used to this day!

Oh, that must be why Super Twokaiser has the big V antenna on his head instead of a Timeranger symbol

I mean, teeechnically; Timeranger was the Sentai show airing in January 2001…

Looks as if we now have actual toy-images of ZenkaiOh SuperJuran and Super TwokaiOh. They "waste" a couple of pieces, though they could be included somehow.
And Super TwokaiOh's Faceplate looks sort of like GoZyuJin from Gokaiger. It has Gokai Silver's Anchor Motif and is in Silver.
Meanwhile, I don't see the connection points for ZenkaiOh VrooX's right Leg "wheels" on Super Zenkaizer's "Halfbody" (Bringing out some Kamen Rider Build Terms) Formation. Looks as if ZenkaiOh SuperVroon won't be made with Super Zenkaizer.

I guess I can safely say that Zenkaiger is a success regardless of how much money it makes because they made robots cool again. :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

That's gonna hurt for Kaito having all of his body parts bent while fusing with Juran.

Maybe the fact that it doesn't will be used as foreshadowing for how the changers got made.

I feel like the super armor probably expands into a full zord for a human ranger since the kikainoids seem to just grow and turn into transformers. Sentai is slightly the more realistic take on tokusatsu generally or at least as realistic as tokusatsu gets.

For those who haven’t seen the episode, our first look at ZenKaijuOh https://youtube.com/watch?v=RP-7aV2A3NU

Can anyone translate Zox's reaction to being an SD?

Also, I love how the finisher is just both of them as giant rangers

I've been thinking, that if ever they're was the possibility Stacey gets a power-up, I reckon it'll be TopGaler inspired, just to complete the trio of deceased 6th ranger mechas, plus it would go with his character on how he was an evil ranger for most of the run.

Minipla Super Vroon!

I feel like it'd also be Basco-themed, since he can already summon evil rangers.

If they were smart they would have Stacey summon "Evil Mecha" instead of reusing "Good Sentai Mecha"! Have him summon Giga Volt (Liveman), Dora Talos (Zyuranger), BraKing (Carranger), Nova (Timeranger), Jakiryuu Grand (Boukenger), and/or Hades Machine Golem (Magiranger)!

Can I take a quick second to say how much I appreciate the effort put into these, by the way? They're just meant to be little promos for the new toys, but it's like someone realized that's already what the show is, and decided to make every one a surprisingly fleshed-out little mini Zenkaiger episode. It's genuinely a nice treat whenever one of these comes out.

Hmm, I wonder. So, we know that the final thing that will be released in Q4 of Zenkaiger is the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon. It is reported to have a spaceship or some other craft mode, a Cannon Mode, a Robot Mode, I think, and, of course, the Combined mode. So, hmm. Here is some speculation on my part. It will sound like I'm describing the Mecha or I'm a Leaker, but this is pure speculation.

So, I think that the Spaceship mode might take inspiration from the Variblune, the Varidorin, and/or Sky Ace, considering that Zenkaiser is based upon both Akarenger/Akaranger and Big One.

Meanwhile, its cannon mode would be based upon a gun similar to the Geartlinger/ Geardalinger/Geartozinger which can plug into the Geartlinger, sort of like Lupinranger vs Patranger's Lupin Magnum.

In the separate Robot Mode, if it has one, I think it might resemble DaiDenzin/ Denzi Fighter from Denshi Sentai Denziman, the First Mecha that transformed into a Robo, and/or the Taiyo Gattai Sun Vulcan Robo from Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan, the first Robo that is a combination of multiple Mecha, Cosmo Vulcan and Bull Vulcan.

In the combined "ZenkaiOh" mode, the Left from the ZenkaiOh mode side of the helmet would have a bird head, like part of the Variblune/Varidorin, sticking up to mirror the Dragon Caesar Part on the Right Side of ZenkaiOh Superxxxxx.

In its Mecha Form, it would serve as a ship for the Kikainoid Zenkaigers (Juran, Gaon, Magine, and Vroon) and combines their powers. When combined into the ZenkaiOh-styled form, it would give the Zenkaigers the traditional Cockpit design of multiple Sentai Members sitting in a single cockpit.

Now, there could be something a bit special about this Cannon. Possibly, it could allow for the Cluster Combination. You know, the used-to-be signature final combination of all the Mecha. The Revolver Tenrai Senpuujin, the Ultimate Daibouken, the SaiDaiGekiRinTohja, the Engine-O G12, the Kyoryu SamuraiHaOh, the ToQ Rainbow, the HaOh Shurikenjin. That.

Note: What I just described is total speculation. It may be true, it may be false. Who knows? I don't.

I would also like to see Balzion, Killer Oh, Wolkaizer, Megazord Epsilon and Smog Jouki!

Well it happened in Magiranger, so yeah I guess it's possible for the Zenkaigers to share a cockpit while also being the mecha they're piloting.

You say that like clusterfudge mecha are going out of fashion or something. As recently as 2018, there was the awesome Good Cool Kaizer VSX which was so clustery that it was CGI exclusive!

What’s a good appropriate PR title for Zenkaiger?

Anything since “Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers”.

Power Rangers Revolution? Since gears revolve and if the plot is similar, they could be leading a revolution against the world-conquering bad guys.

Revolution seems appropriate I guess. Or…

“Mighty Morphin Mecha Rangers”? Due to the Rangers being machines?

Nice alliteration for sure, but I don't think it's likely they would use that format again, especially since the show would need to represent more than just Mighty Morphin'.

If JJ is the White Ranger, I think it would be cool to see an appearance from Lord Drakkon as well! Maybe Stacaesar could be an alternate JJ from that universe!

We could be getting somewhere. If we’re gonna do this, we need to change the names in US/Canadian format.

Power Rangers Revolution seems to fit.

The names of the Rangers and Stacaesar?

Zenkaizer: ?
Zenkai Juran: ?
Zenkai Gaon: ?
Zenkai Magine: ?
Zenkai Vroon: ?
Twokaizer: ?
- TwokaiRicky: ?
- TwokaiCutanner: ?
Stacaeser: ?

How about naming the Kikainoid Rangers after the Megazords and then keeping your Mecha Ranger idea for the individual names?

Zenkaizer: Super Mecha Ranger
Zenkai Juran: Dino Mecha Ranger
Zenkai Gaon: Wild Mecha Ranger
Zenkai Magine: Titan Mecha Ranger
Zenkai Vroon: Drivemax Mecha Ranger
Twokaizer: Legendary Mecha Ranger
Stacaeser: Dark Mecha Ranger

I can't think of anything unique for Ricky and Cuttanar but maybe their names already work.

Zeo Buddy
Samurai Buddy

Yeah, it wouldn't be too off.

I guess I thought that, because it really hasn't been in more recent shows, I guess I thought it was dead.

Though, I say that the combination could be where JuranTyranno and GaonLion become the arms, and MagineDragon and VroonDump becoming the legs. Meanwhile, the torso would be based upon a combination of Super Zenkaizer, CrocoDaiOh, and the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon. I say that TwokaiRicky and TwokaiCuttanner would become Weaponry. Meanwhile, Super Twokaizer SD could be stored in the slot within CrocoDaiOh that the SD.

Also, I suspect that there is more going to come out. Because at this moment in time, it suspiciously has low amounts of DX Roleplay toys. There is the Zenkai Buckle, the Twokai Buckle, the Geartlinger, the Geartozinger, the Geardalinger, and the Zenkaijuu Gear. Normally, by this time, we would have at least a couple things more for when it comes to the Roleplay Toys. I'm a bit surprised that we don't have DX Versions of the Kikainoid Weapons, like the Juran Sword and Juran Shield, the Gaon Claw, the Magine Stick, or the Vroon Picker. How many kids would want to roleplay as the Kikainoids? Probably a lot. Meanwhile, there would appear to be no "Movie-Exclusive Mecha", like OtomoNin Dinomaru from Ninninger, the Cerberus Voyager from Kyuranger, the Ressha Gattai SafariGaOh, etc. Also, there would be a lack of DX Battle Caesar Robo (II).

I would simply put that down to a lower budget and a change in strategy with Sentai's declining sales -- we haven't even seen any DX sets for the Sentai Gears, with all of those being relegated to candy toys and gashapon. I imagine they're keeping their expectations low and hence keeping the amount of toys they're putting out to a minimum.

They're probably just experimenting with the format a little. The Kishiryu had so much playability with their ports and the Kirama Stones revisited the carrier mecha concept with Machine Hakobu. I'm sure there'll be another crazy-looking clusterfudge mecha eventually, maybe one that will beat Wild Tousai Dodeka King's 14 components.

Yeah, I'd totally enjoy seeing something like that!

I guess we can deduce that this is due to the movie being an introduction, rather than the typical summer movie.

Yeah, you're probably right.
Though, I have just noticed something about the Kikainoid Zenkaigers in their DX Mecha forms
The DX Mecha have some of the pieces removed in the box. For the JuraGaon set, they have the Arms Packed Separately. And for the VrooMagine Set, the Wheels, Wings, and Chestplates (the ones which have the symbols that represent the different parts) are Separate. I know it's likely nothing but just the fact that the packaging didn't allow for it, but I suspect there will be something with those parts.

Also, I think I see a Kaiju Face in the Right Side Chest Section. The Zyuranger Z appears to also have a Kaiju Face on it. I am not quite sure, though.

The numerical designations on the helmets will have to be incorporated into the deal, ergo if there is a chance that this gets used, it should be saved for the 35th P.R. Anniversary! That way, Twokaizer can take center stage (in the beginning) given that he carries the Gokaiger "35" on his helmet. Zenkaizer could easily be JJ if this is a JJ that comes from a timeline in which S.P.D. doesn't exist and JJ never became S.P.D. B-Squad Green. The "45" on Zenkaizer's helmet denotes the futuristic status. As to the rest of the team, the numbers on their helmets can denote not the season they come from, but how the Megazords' they're based on are organized. My thinking is that older Megazords are being copied with the intent of using them for evil, and they're organized differently by the villains for this purpose. So if adaptation Zenkai Juran has "16" on his helmet, it's not because he relates to the 16th Season (as is Zenkaiger's case), but it's because he relates to the Mighty Morphin' (Dino) Megazord being referred to as "Megazord 16" by the the villains!

As for naming conventions...."Power Rangers Mecha Revolution"!?

(Hypothetical) Backstory: The Legendary Rangers have had their link to the Morphin' Grid severed by mechanical villains who are descendant of the Machine Empire. Even worse, numerous Megazords have been duplicated to conquer the Earth. A valiant space pirate tries to stop them, only to contend with androids sent to destroy him. It's only after an unknown Ranger from the future arrives in the present that the androids develop emotions and defect to the side of Good. Using specialized gear developed from old Megazord data, the androids are able to Morph into new mechanized forms and revolt against their creators. The Mecha Revolution has begun!

The idea of making Tojitendo into descendants of the Machine Empire relates to the (as yet) unconfirmed fates of Gasket and Archerina and how Archerina's (as yet) unseen father was described as Mondo's rival. Gege, Ijirude, and Stacaesar are all perfectly usable, but I have doubts about Bokkowaus and Barashitara. I know that eventually, those two will have large final battles with the Zenkaiger and that's the most important part. Those battles will still make them usable, but in a substantially reduced capacity. It would also be good to have Non-Empire villains make appearances, like Professor Cog and Scrozzle. It keeps the thematic elements of mechanical villains and helps broaden the multiversal aspects of an Anniversary Season.

One thing that has always scared me about Sentai Anniversary Seasons are the older Sentai. Battle Fever J, Denziman, and Sun Vulcan were produced with Marvel copyrights and I'm unclear if those copyrights are still relevant to this day. If they are, then Marvel could rule against their usage or ask too much in permitting their usage. As such, Battle Fever Robo, DaiDenzin, and Sun Vulcan Robo would have to be excised for that reason! A very rough reorganization would have to be done in order to replace them and still keep the numbers in that case. Movie Ninja Megazord, "Beyond The Grid" Solar Megazord, and Hyperforce Megazord could easily be implanted to serve as replacements if it came to that. If Movie Ninja Megazord is untenable due to a rights issue or because it's not well-received by fans, then the 2017 Movie Megazord could replace it instead.

Since I don't have good ideas for Ranger Designation Names yet, the best way to the end this for me is to have a discussion about the Geartlinger and Geardalinger! It goes without saying that any toy adaptation would lead to orange capping and that would just ruin the design flow! To accommodate that and the fact that I've already dreamed-up a story which naturally necessitates reshoots, weapon replacement is a must! A newer blaster which already has an orange barrel on-screen and therefore would not suffer the indignity of an added color when produced as a toy. As to the Geardalinger, it has a small barrel when used as a gun, but it would still have to be orange capped, making it a candidate for replacement as well. That doesn't mean that it can't still be used as inspiration in some capacity. I've considered a new cockpit for (Adaptation) TwoKaiOh in which the controls look precisely like the wheel for the Geardalinger, so as to nod its existence. What about Geartozinger, you ask? Haven't decided whether to leave it as is or modify/replace it as well. What about the time the team made the Geartlinger enlarge and used it as a cannon to blast older Sentai Mecha summoned by Stacaesar, you ask? Since it is the giant-sized versions of the team performing that attack, have a reshoot in which they summon the Mighty Morphin' Power Cannon or the Zeo Cannon instead! You don't actually have to re-produce a role play item for either since it would be a one-off homage, though you could re-produce a weapon accessory for the small figures or the DX figures to hold!

That's my take on adapting Zenkaiger for P.R. at the moment!

I think they'll excuse away the numbers somehow. Maybe have it be part of their names? Or just ignore it completely, that seems kinda on point for PR

It might be "on point" in terms of past seasons, but that doesn't excuse Hasbro if they choose to be derelict with minutiae. The little details can matter the most. Hasbro isn't Saban and if they want to do something BIG with the franchise, they have to think about the big details as well as the little details. It would be easy to ignore numerical designations, but "Easy" isn't going to cut it if Hasbro wants to save this franchise!

Personally I can see them skipping Zenkaiger and just do Kiramager. And I want that more to be honest. Way easy to adapt than Zenkaiger as well. The last thing I need is Super Megaforce Electric Boogaloo. Kiramager's suits and robots are all good designs and honestly the narrative is strictly dependent on how well the Power Rangers writers do well. This ain't the"Neo-Saban" era anymore so there is also that.

From what it sounds like, they might NOT do anymore Super Sentai adaptations.

What will they do with Power Rangers going forward with no Sentai adaptations?

Pull their own weight with original ideas, I suppose? I'm not too into PR, but I'd still consider it an interesting idea on their part if they can come up with original ideas.

Disclaimer: I know nothing of the comics or anything about this picture other than the fact they seem to be an all-original team

https://www.denofgeek.com/wp-content...esize=609,1024

Of note, it's the Omega Rangers. If you're familiar with Mighty Morphin' in any capacity, then you know that Jason and Zack and Trini left in Season 2. Storyline involved a peace conference, but it wasn't well received. The comics have suggested that the conference was a ruse so those three would be involved in different missions. They've also had them at odds with the main Mighty Morphin' team and Zordon more than once.

If we are not gonna get the good ol sentai footage show, they should just do a big reboot Battlestar Galactica style.

JJ being a White Ranger from the future would also be a cool reference to Omega Ranger and an actual physical person instead of a ball of light! Saving Zenkaiger for the 35th anniversary certainly seems like a smarter idea than immediately doing it for the 30th, since that leaves room to adapt at least 2 more Sentai, potentially more if the move to Netflix means no more 20 episode limits, which means more usable Power Gears. Then the alternate JJ (Stacaesar) would come from the future of Lord Drakkon's timeline to assist the Neo Machine Empire, sent by his father to secretly exploit their connection to the Morphin' Grid. Maybe the Kikainoid numbers determine when they were invented relative to PR years, like 16 is 2008 and 25 is 2017, etc. That's another good reason to save for the 35th anniversary.

Perfect!

For those of us less well-versed in cinema, what would "Battlestar Galactica style" mean in this context?

Battlestar Galactica is a show from the 70s that kinda went dormant then it was fully rebooted in 2004. It wasn't a sequel or a remake, just a full on reboot of the franchise. The success of the reboot is evident in how many people don't even realize it was a series in the 70s.

I don't think Power Rangers has been dormant long enough for that type of reboot. And we already got that Power Rangers movie from 2017. The association with kids and toys likely means it will continue to mostly serve its purpose as a merch seller.

Funny enough, the original Battlestar Galactica also began as a way to sell toys- sci-fi spaceships, figures, and robots to capitalize on the success of Star Wars at the time.
