Okay then so who thinks we might get Power Rangers Transformers crossover figures by Hasbro?

Unlikely I think, just because I can’t see the point in it, but if Takara isn’t involved it might work.

The other Transformers Crossovers aren’t released by Takara, after all.

Hascon exclusive retooling of the Dinobots. Mammoth Zord as a retool of Sludge, and the Sabertooth Zord as a retool of Sinnertwin.

Along with new head that make them look like the Rangers and the Megazord?

Maybe? I mean I'd say compatability would be a pipe dream, as it'd be a real hassle at best and impossible at worst to fit the combiner ports into the Zord designs. But it could be a size that they go for.
Well there's one question I had answered. The next one is how much Toei/Bandai own Power Rangers? Would it be impossible to continue Power Rangers without their input and using the Sentai footage? I know that Toei used to be able to keep Saban from skipping shows, but I'm not sure how the contracts are now. At the very least show skipping isn't a thing anymore, but Toei wouldn't be unhappy with the idea of going back and using the skipped stuff.
Bandai America has been a real joke for a while too. I don't even know what else they had. I see Playmates got the licenses for Voltron and Ben 10, so they definitly don't have those either. I'm assuming that Mattel wasn't interested either, otherwise we'd be asking when the Power Ranger Barbies would be coming. So if Hasbro was asking around I'm sure I can see why they'd got to them, and just make sure there are provisions to keep it seperate from Takara Tomy.
Well back in the 90's Generation 2 Megatron was the Greatest foe my Thunder Megazord ever faced.

Hopefully IDW and Boom will work something out. Power Rangers avoids one of the inherent issues of crossing over with Transformers as they can use the Zords and give us giant robot battles.
Yes, this would work. But considering the ammount they dailed things back for Hascon compared to the massive ammount of stuff Fun Productions did each year. Still it'd be an amazing set.

Heh, Hasbro announces anything for Transformers, the 2005 boards get filled up with how much Hasbro sucks, and how cheap they've gotten. Hasbro gets the PR rights, this board rejoices the brand is saved.

I really hope we get Galactabeast toys and I don't mean Galactazords which they into. I would be okay getting both them.

I just realized that we might get figure of the bad guys from Forever Red by Hasbro.

Toei co-owns Power Rangers. Nobody can do anything with the property without Toei's OK.

Saban Brands can do whatever it wants with all series of Super Sentai from Zyuranger to Ninninger. It doesn't have the rights to anything after Ninninger, and likely never will.

That's not how that works

To elaborate, the entire reason Power Rangers has gotten this far is because the brand is incredibly cheap to do anything for due to half the footage/props being made for them. If it wasn't this cheap, then it would have died all the way back in In Space. If Hasbro wants to keep the brand going, and they obviously do if they want the rights, then they need to keep using the Sentai. Making something completely new for it, invariably, be animation or a live action series, would be more expensive than just doing what its done for years.

And yes, Toei does own the footage. It's their intellectual property, and using it without permission could lead to lawsuits. If they didn't like a deal that was happening, they could easily break Saban off from it as well. No matter what, Toei has to be fine with this deal, and that most likely means that Takara is nowhere near this.

They can't. Power Rangers - the brand itself and every single individual series - is co-owned by Saban and Toei (and before that, Disney and Toei, and even before that, Saban and Toei). Toei always have and always will co-own Power Rangers.

I doubt it. They didn't even do a Pokemon and Transfomers crossover when Takara has the toy rights to those two franchises.

Well, those two series are sort of incompatible without coming up with new molds... and there's probably not much of an overlap of people who really like Pokemon and people who really like Transformers in Japan. From what I've heard, Transformers isn't actually that popular in Japan regardless of it originating there.

Meanwhile, both Power Rangers and Transformers heavily involve things that turn into robots, and we're in the middle of a series based around combining robots. And one of those combiners is based around dinosaurs.

If it does happen, we'd probably get it as a convention exclusive, like at Hascon. It definitely wouldn't be a full line on its own.

Or we could just get a comics crossover. There's definitely a lot of fun that could come from that.

As far as I understand it, Bandai of America and Bandai of Japan are entirely separate companies, with BOA acting as the American distributor, but not being directly affiliated with BOJ in a legal sense.

So if that is true, and it might not be, I'm no expert in business management, that would mean that who has the rights to produce the Power Rangers toys in America, is almost inconsequential to Bandai proper.

BOA and BOJ are owned by the same company, so of course BOJ cares. At the same time, if Bandai Namco gave an executive order to begin the buyout process of Toei, ditch Saban Brands and adapt Super Sentai and Kamen Rider themselves in-house for a global audience, as part of their big push into original content and IPs and to appease growing concerns from shareholders that they're hoarding cash reserves and not spending it, then of course BOJ isn't fussed. Though we'll find out next year what the future holds.

Without new Japanese footage to mine from, there wasn't much for Saban Brands to do except sell Power Rangers to whoever would have it, and was okay adapting unused footage from 5 years ago, as a stopgap between eras.

Well, that's how I see it.

So HyperForce figures by Hasbro.

I had to Google that. Who knows. I reckon we'll get a 3D animated series from 2020 onwards, with completely original designs.

What?

We can't get an animated series. Toei won't allow it, and as they are joint-owners of the franchise, they can't be 'gotten away from'.

Takara did do the Disney Label figures, with a Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Buzz Lightyear Transformers. And Hasbro did the Star Wars Transformers, And now Takara is doing their own Star Wars Transformers. So rule nothing out.

And there's something else I have to wonder. Hasbro and Takara have heavily benefited from their partnership for Transformers helping them recoup mold costs. For Bandai of Japan, back when it was just adapting their toys for the US market they were able to get more money for those DX Megazords and the like. Once BOA started Zord Builder that stopped.

And Toei got more out of the shows they were doing, with what I would assume was minimum risk and cost to themselves. After all the footage was all shot, and the suits all made. I'm assuming Saban and Disney picked up the production costs for the new stuff. I mean I'm guessing that if say the Sentai that's being subbed by Shout doesn't do well, it's not a loss for Toei, just Shout.

And I imagine that makes Toei and Bandai Japan HATE the two year contracts and skipping from Nick. Because that means there's a bunch of shows they lost that auxiliery profit from. There's always a chance that a Sentai that did poorly will be adapted into a Power Rangers that does very well. Heck I heard once that a Power Rangers did better than the Sentai it was adapted from when subbed in Japan, which if true is awesome.
Don't rule it out. I also think Hasbro is less likely to force them to shoehorn every toy into the show.

If a toy is in the Sentai, it'll be in the Power Rangers equivalent - no sense wasting footage that could help turn a bigger profit.

US-only toys though, I agree with.

Well that's what I meant. But I'd imagine we could be looking at the end of cockpit modes, and US only battilizer forms.

Battilizers sell like hotcakes...but generally only the one(s) that appear in-show so I doubt that one.

I believe Saban Brands no longer has a working relationship with Toei. After they run out of unused pre-Ninninger series to adapt, which they have the license for, that's it for Power Rangers adapting Japanese footage, and it will need to be completely original material. Therefore a 3D animated series makes sense because Hasbro owns an animation studio already.

They can and will be "gotten away from", when in mutual agreement.

You're honestly an idiot if you think Toei would ever sell it's half of Power Rangers. It makes them far, far too much money.

Can Saban not license the series from Zyuohger onwards?

They have/are/can. Dizagaox's little theory holds no water and has nothing backing it up.

Ah, so there’s a chance we might see a Zyuohger or Kyuuranger adaptation after Beast Morphers, then?

Saban has to have a working relationship with Toei, as Toei owns the rights to Go-Busters.
The decision to go back to Go-Busters was a joint one, as Toei dictates which seasons Saban uses.

Saban has full access to Zyuoh and Kyu, they just chose to adapt a series with better marketability, as Kyu's gimmick relied on electronics, which seemed to be the one thing they like cutting the most (Well, that's BOA's MO, but Hasbro doesn't do a lot of electronics in their TFs too often), while Zyuoh's cube gimmick is a harder sell.

I do wonder if the 2019 PR season is just one season only? I don't think Go-Busters has enough stuff for a two season show.

Then I'm an idiot. Also it's not half. You've pulled that out of thin air. Power Rangers is 100% owned by Saban.

Saban only has it for now, just wait Hasbro will take it from Saban.

Oh my god, they could get a lot out of Go-Busters. Why do you think people wanted them to adapt it?

You can argue that shows like Ninninger and Kyoryuger don't have a lot to work with, and look what they got there.

Doesn't Go-Busters have 2 primary villains? Couldn't each half be dedicated to beating one of them?

I'd be more willing to argue...but the past has already proven me right.

Disney tried to make an animated Power Rangers before, and Toei were able to successfully veto it due to the amount of control they have with the franchise.

I'd say more but...at this point I'm just wasting my time.

Not bad, I'd say. I keep saying, I don't think Toei's too fond of the two year thing. I mean back in the day they apparently wouldn't let Saban skip Carranger in favor of Jetman! And Hasbro might be able to exert more pressure with Nick than Saban did. Don't forget parent company Viacom made a lot of money off the Transformers movies, and even with The Last Knight's underperforming they aren't stopping them. So Hasbro might be able to throw it's weight around and get us back to one a year shows.
It's not the ammount of show footage that's the question, it's the amount of toyline stuff. And I'm sure Hasbro would be more than willing to pad the line out with stuff not from that show. At the same time they'd also want to keep things that are in the show on shelves for at least a good portion of the lines lifespan. And Hasbro also seems to like to have a high turnover rate for the waves on shelves. There were what, two megazords for Go-Busters? They aren't going to want to stretch that on for two years.

And then there's the fact the new contract with nick is 3 years. An odd number. So that doesn't seem to be to make much sense if they were doing two shows of two years each, but a lot more if it's either one show of one year and one of two years, or three shows of one year. And if they let the Nick guys in on the Hasbro deal while negotiating that strengthens their posistion at the contract negotiations.

Go-Busters has a few good ending points that could constitute season enders, though judging by the description, I feel they're probably going to keep Enter as Dark Buster as the final boss. The show even has super forms for all the rangers during the second half, which would help make the divide even clearer.

And yeah, Go-Busters has a lot of plot going on through it that would require a second season at least. Despite there being one auxiliary mech, there are still the same amount of mechs that most other recent Sentai seasons have. Trying to clog that all into a 20 episode series would make it feel like Megaforce, and they probably aren't going to do that again.

Go-Busters has 3 Megazords (Ace, Beet, and Li-Oh), and 4 other zords that can combine with them.
I think Hasbro can stretch things out decently well, perhaps by creating a custom combination for Yellow and Blue, letting the movie exclusive frog interact with the other zords more, or allowing for Beet to combine with Yellow and Blue without Ace.

They'll probably end up releasing Ace separate from the gorilla and rabbit mechs as well, even if they're still first wave. Ace has enough to it that it's a good toy on its own from what I can tell.

Then once other mechs start being introduced, make a three pack with all the mechs. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
