I don't know how often they used the train shift thing for 3gou and 5gou to be Red, but I know it wasn't enough for them to work a full blown series around.

Technically, there is no red for that team given the main gimmick of Norikae Change. Also there is no possible way for that series to sell in America.

Beet and Stag Busters are still some of my all time favorites. That said....this could go a few ways.

Does everyone remember that they basically ended the first half of the series at episode 25? That was before the theme song change, the whole fall of Messiah and rise of Enter as greater threats. Does that mean they'll do half a season as "Beast Morphers" and the second half as "Super Mega Beast Morphers"? Cause that would not only fit Nicks ass-halfed scheduling, but their love of using the words Super and Mega in a way that makes you want to vomit.

I honestly WISH there would be a sequel to RPM. I've always felt in the minority about liking the series, even if it was a complete and total break from GoOnger.

Will they get the ratings? They're REALLY going to have to push a good script change from GoBuster. In my opinion, every week was extra dry and ultimately boring save for some of the arc episodes. Plus they're going to probably prop it against Rise of the Badly Drawn Turtles.

Are the toys even going to make sense? I suppose if they pose it as a "digimon partner" aspect, that could go in the right direction. But again, footage equates to what you can and can't do in script.

And finally....will they even be able to find someone as remotely HOT as Escape's Ayame Misaki????

Please see "Thomas The Tank Engine".

Trains actually do sell. Talk to my three and six year old.

Isn’t RPM one of the more well-liked Power Rangers series?

Quite so. Most PR fans often list it as one of the best.
It's typically Sentai purists that are down on it.
(Not to say that there aren't PR fans that dislike it, mind you)

Thomas is marketed towards very young children.

Power Rangers tends to be marketed to the 6-12 year old range.

Pirates also sell well and look at what happened there

Yeah, the show was as enjoyable as a bladder infection and did nothing with the Gokaiger footage.

There were pirates?
