Yes i know there were the robot rangers from turbo, and sentai has Raptor at the very least. But the fact that Grid Battle Force has a vault full of ranger tech- could be a perfect way to explain the past team elements... the various robot rangers were cobbled together using ranger tech from the vault. I would of loved if we could get some sort of explanation behind the founding of Grid Battleforce. Clearly it seems to be some sort of government rand RnD lab that has access to ranger tech... possibly inspired by Promethea from Boom Comics? Just who would have the pull to convince various teams to send their gear to some secret research lab?

But i'm certainly gonna be curious to see what the villains look like this time around. I mean of the current options I honestly don't see any stand out choices for an adapt after Dino Fury.

ToQger-might confuse kids if they tune in late and suddenly theres a female red and male pink when the previous ep the team had Male red and female pink. I Mean ToQ adapt COULD ditch the color changing since honestly that gimmick did nothing- oh it let them use each others weapons... haven't we seen rangers pass off their weapons to others before? Not to mention the foot soldiers might be problematic.

Zyuohger had nice designs but the mecha were a bit of a let down over all.

Kyuranger- i know PR isn't known for character development but Megaforce got criticized for gosei just passing out mecha stuff like participation ribbons.

LupPat- sure theres the bit bout trying to shape the footage just right so as to not glorify thieves- this is presumably a reason that Korea skipped it in favor of Ryusoulger as well. But I think Hasbro could manage that part the harder part would be explaining why they share a mecha...I guess The Lupin team could of stolen the blueprints and they trade off because it needs to recharge or something.

Kiramager- The suits are fine but the monsters are soo retro it works for sentai I just don't know if it would work as well for PR. And then theres the merchandise side... a toyline that doesn't care if you collect them all? Megazords that don't even have limb swapping features? We can stick the shovel on the drill's shoulder... or make the main megazord hold the shark zord as a cannon... if they don't combine into something bigger, if there's no incentive to buy them all then you probably wont and since hasbro is a toy company that probably isn't a good series to pick.

So yeah we'll just have to wait to see the monsters who know it might make for a decnet PR 2023.

I also have a few ideas to add:

ToQger should leave the line-changing for use as a team finisher to replace the imagination aspect of the Bazooka. Red won't up and give his Ressha to Blue or Pink, but "donate" its power to all of them so they can perform an All-Red finisher. Same would be true for all of them; All-Yellow Team and All-Pink Team are all on the table. The Bazooka would still be used, but to a slightly lesser extent and the effect is more generic. The Kuros/Clothes could be replaced with the Cotpotros from Dairanger, which have never been adapted up to this point. The most insane idea with adapting ToQger I can think of is creating a second team altogether; Safari Ressha was used as a power-up and Movie-Exclusive Mecha, but I think it could serve as the basis of a whole new Ranger team which wasn't seen in ToQger! Instead of Red gaining Lion Claws, we have a Lion Ranger. Instead of Pink donning a Panda suit, we have a Panda Ranger. SafariGaOh was largely an afterthought in the Movie and really only there cause it was using ToQOh's base design. The "lion-made-of-trains" Safari Ressha is more important, and can easily be recreated with CGI to serve as a main Megazord (or main Zord).

Zyuohger's Cube Animals are usable, but ZyuohKing and ZyuohWild are small and the toys are disproportionate. King and Wild could take the role of human-sized Beast Bots, with Wild Zyuoh King acting as a stand-in for the main Megazord. As the show progresses, King and Wild would find the ability to enlarge on their own or through combinations (like that Octopus Cube). Auxiliary Cubes which function as weapons could be used by the team and guest stars.

Kyuranger has a pre-existing blueprint for adaptation: "Power Rangers Supernova". This could still serve a purpose. Ultimately, this would have to be a big event.

LuPat could follow Kyuranger as something of an addendum. GoodStriker's sentience and desire to help who he feels like helping would be changed. GoodStriker as an on-board A.I. which is influenced by a mysterious benefactor (think Kogure). The reason for thievery is not only social commentary, but because the Lupin Collection pieces (which were based on Sentai changers/mecha/weapons) are in fact Ranger Gear which the powers that control the Pats want to destroy. The Lupins are taking and returning this Gear to its rightful owners. The Podamen are also chaotic due to their design. Luckily, the Kuros/Clothes from ToQger could work here as a runaround, with the Giant Podamen serving as secondary footsoldiers.

Kiramager is still unfinished, but my thinking is to use it as a tie-in to answer a fundamental franchise question: what truly happened between Zeo and the Turbo Movie? There are gaps and unanswered details. A Sentai which is themed after crystals and vehicles as one-and-the-same could help that.

The comparisons to Transformers is hard to miss when looking at Zenkaiger. The idea of a crossover was on almost everybody's minds when the news broke that Hasbro would own the franchise. How Zenkaiger will reference an un-adapted Sentai is key to determining its feasibility for adaptation. If a reference to ToQger or Zyuohger is more oblique, then it can be explained with nary an effort. In fact, having a Sentai make such a reference could serve as a backdoor to inputting a Sentai like ToQger or Zyuohger. While everyone is largely pissed that Super Megaforce showcased Pre-Zyu Sentai without explanation, the fact that it was done at all serves as an unaddressed backdoor to canonizing those Sentai within a P.R. context. Zenkaiger's official website has another day or so before it goes live based on what I've seen. A little longer, and we can go a little deeper with just how Zenkaiger might play out, and whether Hasbro will take notice.
