Well mecha wise if they are BASED on past mecha IF hasbro doesn't break up with Toei I honestly dont see that acting as a barrier. Theres one thing to adapt mecha INSPIRED by past seasons, its another to fit in PAST teams that we've never seen before.

In theory- if the mecha are based on past mecha- why not just ignore the anniversary aspect for a PR season. OR if we have to find some way to work the skipped team in do something along the lines of Saikyo battle. Say a online only 4 ep special that sorta looks at some teams in other planets/dimensions/timelines.

Hell i think that would of been a perfect way to solve the "never before seen" BS as well. We know the comics gave us some explanation for Super Sonic(fiveman). Why not do a few shorts that use a mix of archived footage from the seasons and a few random actors. OR hell that'd be a perfectly acceptable animated mini series in my opinion.

What's with this new train themed mecha-
Option 1 Bullshit it and say its based on Travellion, Railmax, or uh what was the one from RPM? Its not like ToQger is the only season with a train mecha after all. Cube animals might be harder to bs of course.

Option 2- via a series of 5 minute shorts- maybe even a "motion comic" style to save on animation costs. Get some glimpses into multiple worlds and such. Jetman rangers could be from a race similar to Zenowing from Dino Charge- maybe they are FROM the same universe as the dino charge rangers just from say Avian 4 or something like that.

How do we deal with the Squadron suits? simple again drop them on some other planet and instead of using the thunderzords we know they use aura constructs shaped like some slightly altered verisons of them. So Squadron red goes into battle inside a giant red aura dragon instead of on a flying red metal dragon. Maybe they were Rangers from eltar or something even and thats why Zordon based the white ranger powers on their designs feeling a little homesick.


But yeah theres ways to get past the anniversary roadblock i feel. Especially if the mecha are more inspiredby thme like ow Boukenger villains were based on past mecha - Ryuwon for example was based on Daizyujin.. the series didnt dwell on that no one in boukenger was like "OMG he looks like the Daizyujin" The real issue will come in if the sentai gear have say the ToQger helmet on them or something thats a LITTLE harder to work around but again all they'd need to do would be set up a website that either has a motion comic, or hell just do mini profiles for these mystery teams. Acknowledge them name thier world dont go TOO in depth so if you want you can revist them later.

"The Bird Rangers of Avia 4- A team of rangers from a distant world, they protected their home world from (Insert villain group name here)"

But yeah IF hasbro is indeed stepping away from toei after Dino Fury S2 then this wont matter at all. If they aren't well we can only hope that IF Zenkai is sentai reference heavy then we get some sort of brief descriptions of these other teams since that I think is what made fans mad. I mean I think i read something like SMF blew the budget reshooting stuff early on so they couldn't afford to reshoot where it mattered (namely scenes with the squadron rangers and such) But even including the Pre zyu stuff I dont think would of been an issue if we had gotten some sort of blurb bout each one. Even if it was just on an official website. We know earth isn't the only world with rangers the Aquitar Rangers, and Trey of Triforia prooved this.
