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.

My own fanwacky idea had involved Time Force HQ being built on the ruins of the command center/power chamber. TF sends someone below to gather all the powers of existing rangers to take back in time for the Legendary Battle(keep in mind all this was in my mind before we got SMF but after seeing images from Gokaiger). He then travels through time to gather them up(therefore all rangers being aproximate in age) He notices that RPM is missing a morpher, and recreates it, creating Ranger 6 Orange. When abducting the RPM rangers, he also abducts Tenaya assuming she was Ranger 6 due to her proximity to the other Rangers after the events of RPM. This balances the # of females a bit more.
