But are we really pretending they'll not do Zeo or (as much as I couldn't care less), Turbo?

Making a Power Rangers movie now is likely because of a few reasons. The first one is that superhero movies are hot right now, so get in while the interest is there. The second reason, connected to the previous one, is that studios want what Marvel has, the whole connect universe approach. To do that, it would be best to show the other teams, not just MMPR. Otherwise, why have Rita mention other (dead teams) if all we're going to focus on are Jason and crew?

Unlike Transformers, where it starts becoming like Gundam with newer series being either alternate realities or remakes of the original series (the Armada Trilogy, the Aligned Continuity, even the Animated series that was heavily based off of the movies). Transformers is a shit example, because most series have tried to either just be their own take on G1 (like IDW's comic run or Platinum's Transformers Devastation), or just not stray to far from what the loud fans want (no one wants a repeat of 'Trukk not Monkey!!').

I'm not saying that their going to adapt Dairanger fully and do a Power Rangers Go-Busters movie adaptation, I'm not that blindly hopeful, but if they're planning to make money off of this franchise and the first movie does well, staying to long on MMPR is going to be the stupid move. Most people are tired of seeing Spider-man's origin for the upteenth time, the Wayne's death is now literally a montage reel (since Gotham premiered), and staying too long with just the first season of Power Rangers characters would even be lying, since Rocky and the others replace Jason, Trini, Zack and Kimberly before to long.

Also Transformers is directed by Bay, who blew up Cybertron (their god and home) and hasn't hinted once to Unicron, the guy who would fill in seats no matter how done people are with Transformers movies. Comparing the two franchises isn't fair or accurate. You'd have a better chance if you compared it to Star Trek, since there's no talk of them doing Next Generation or Deep Space 9 movie-wise so far.

Transformers is the perfect example for the simple reason that Hasbro keeps rehashing G1 because for the most part that's all people care about. With Power Rangers all the general public cares or knows about is MMPR you'll notice that all the fan projects,comics and collector oriented toys in last few years have all been focused on MMPR because again that's all people care about.

Powerman's right if this movie doesn't bomb like hell we'll just get more MMPR movies at best they'd eventually change the characters in the suits.

Anyone thinking They'll make Zeo,Turbo,In Space whatever movies are deluding themselves.
