No, it was never used once in the original run.

I think he's next to them.

So Saban doesn't completely hate SPD.

Right here:

Yea, but I looked closer. There's no SPD Red. I saw Mystic Force Red and Green, OO Black and Red, a couple from In Space. And White Dino back there somewhere. But no SPD Red.

"Since the most interesting member of your team isn't here, and this shield is too big for Emily, I place it on you, Mike!"
"Uh...thanks?"

Tommy back, as Green, yes! It'd be pretty cool if those who were in multiple series could be seen shifting in between their different Ranger forms. Or if the Ranger steps forward and like energy forms off of them and manifests itself as their other Ranger forms. I mean, pretty sure Saban wouldn't actually do that, but if I were director/in charge of special effects, that's what I'd do.

:lolol

Someone needs to caption that.

The red guy behind In Space Silver. Look at his feet. He totally has the SPD boot cuffs.

Where the heck do you even see Silver?

Behind In Space Pink.
