The Heckyl thing makes a little more sense. I found a screen cap of him and think that a "human" villain with a secret monster form will definitely help Dino Charge's popularity and its possibilities.

Although, I find it odd that they would use Neo-Geildon and not Neo-Grifforzer. Why would they take the opportunity to use a one-time movie villain and not a preexisting one instead? If it's anything like Furio from Lost Galaxy (Dr. Hinelar's monster form from the final episode of Megaranger), then the suit should have a certain "life expectancy".

And also, that "statue in NYC" is considered an iconic and ubiquitous American icon. Chaos would seem "profane" or like a "derogatory, political insult". Granted, that's not what those behind D.C. are likely intending, but that is how it might be viewed as. I've seen already how fans interpret Sledge's very inception as an appropriate replace for Chaos. If I am proven wrong, so be it, but unless someone does a "Lord Zedd" and turns a mini-replica into a monster form, I'm forced to conclude that this will only end badly.

I don't think anyone would care if Chaos is a evil Statue of Liberty. It's Power Rangers, a show for kids. I don't think anyone would be upset or offended by it since it's a fantasy based show.

So yeah Heckle is Neo-Geildon. His Tattoo matches the Face of the suit.

It's on his boots, too. I noticed the symbol there first, before his neck.

The blue highlights in his hair matching the gem on Neo-Geildon's head is pretty cool too

WHo is Heckle? or Hekyal. or whateverthehellhisnameis.

This pretty much solidifies (or at least it should) that there is NO team-up coming for those who still held out hope that someone from Dino Thunder might show up or that Zeltrax would be Zeltrax.

Though I am looking forward to all this new beautiful footage of that suit.

How they thought of this is My question? It begs to question how this will turn out? Chaos or Endolf was the logical choice for many, but I still hold out that Chaos is still far too "Statue of Liberty" enough for people to look past. Kids might be able to, but I can honestly say that their parents might not be able to. Endolf was the next logical conclusion, but Neo-Geildon defies possibilities or assumptions. It makes me wonder what is going to happen, and that might be what Saban and Lynn are hoping for. Just a guess, but if I were a betting man, I'd say they knew that people knew of Kyoryuger and that some would jump to the most obvious choice, but they took a left turn and made it all the more interesting. How you turn Neo-Geildon into an "original footage villain" is what makes things appealing. It definitely brings up thoughts of Lost Galaxy's Furio (who was adapted from Dr. Hinelar's monster form from the final episode of Megaranger). They used none of that episode and still used the costume as Leo's rival (even though he didn't fit the insect motif of Scorpius and the Stingwingers). As I understand it, Furio's costume started falling apart, and that is why he was killed off (by his own futile effort, but still...). How they will keep this guy from falling apart is anyone's guess, but it sure keeps the imagination fresh.

I also had time to think. "Heckyl" and "Snide" are quite obviously references to "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde".

P.S.: If they use Neo-Geildon in original footage, does Neo-Grifforzer have a chance? Goldar's Brother!?

P.P.S.: Neo-Geildon survived and became Neo-Messiah at the end of Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters, only to be destroyed by the ToQgers. What this means here is, again, anyone's guess.

Power Rangers Choo Choo Charge saves the day*shields up*
Just kidding.
I am still curious as to who Aqua Ranger will be. Possible candidates I was thinking of were Koda's descendant or thawed out kid brother(they had a kid fight aliens during the 90s they can do it again), or a new character+possible love interest for Koda introduced in Super Dino Charge so they can use the footages of Yuko-Cyan.

Power TRAIN-gers, surely?
