[Idol Thoughts]

This is a tricky one, because it could come from Sentai or PR. Nevertheless...

What rangers do you wish had been created? As an example or three (or four? five?), I'll give my top picks.

-Mighty Morphin Season 1, White Ranger
They were simple times. Every ranger had one zord, and every zord had its ranger. Except Titanus.
I tweaked a fan theory on that here.


-in Space, Purple Ranger (and...another one or two?)
Back before I knew what was coming, I thought Karone was looking to become the purple ranger. She had her own purple Astro Megaship uniform, for goodness sake!

The simplicity of the in Space suits offer only a few points of differentiation. The colored rectangles on the chest would probably need to be changed for any additional rangers. Easy enough. There's the random holograms in the top of the head that could be ignored in Power Rangers. That only leaves the visors. Surely, I wasn't the only one paying attention to those? If you didn't notice...

The visors were only different in the ends. Red & blue were opposites, angling in and angling out. Yellow & silver were opposite, pointing out and pointing in. Black & pink...had no counterparts. Pink curves out. Purple could curve in. Done. (If you need a third, straight up and down would do!)

Also, I really, really wanted a purple ranger. An orange ranger, too. That leads me to my final example.


-RPM, Orange Ranger
After witnessing three American-made rangers the season before, it was especially disappointing not to get an orange ranger. All zords were numbered, and 1-8 all had rangers attached. Except 6. Which was orange.
The perfect opportunity to fulfill my wish of an honest to goodness, awesome orange ranger was right there.

This would have made him the 6th ranger, so he could easily be a in separate cockpit or anything else to keep the Japanese cockpit footage. We were also dealing with a super smart mentor who could've created this ranger as an android. That would only necessitate a voice actor. If need be, the android could only be active in battle, so you're never dealing with an extra character running around. Hey, I think that's preferable to SPD's Sam.

Now, maybe you're saying, "Wait, an android? After the whole Venjix thing?" Maybe the angle is Dr. K created him out of necessity and/or some desire to prove herself. This leads to more storyline material.
