Another side to the "Hasbro-breaks-with-Toei" theory is what that would mean for Transformers, as the original series used Toei's Animation Studio, in addition to Akom and another mysterious company (look it up)!

Say they separate, but would that nix everything related to Toei including decades-old animation, or would it remain solely based on Sentai and live-action!?

In addition, the animation flub that was mentioned and then pulled is also curious. There have always been rumors of an animated Power Rangers, but little has been said over the legitimacy of such a project. I'm wondering if maybe the earlier "flub" wasn't really a flub, but rather a sensitive piece of the puzzle. Perhaps Hasbro IS planning an animated series and broached the subject with Toei, either to use their animation studio or to work out an international distribution deal where Toei can overdub such a cartoon, only for the deal to falter and lead to total separation between Hasbro and Toei at worst, or it's just a failure with the animated series deal that's been blown out of proportion!

A cute little theory on my end, but in the long run, it would be a fatal and self-destructive blow to the franchise if Hasbro cuts all ties with Toei! Does Hasbro really want to be forever demonized as "The Entertainment Company Which Murdered Power Rangers"!?

The Transformers Wiki has a page denoting times when that franchise was almost "Ruined Forever" in the eyes of the fandom. I would hate for Power Rangers to suffer a similar fate!
