Perhaps the morpher could be a revolver, with a slot at the back of the drum for the coin. You put in the coin, then spin the drum like Kyoryuger. I love the idea of a steampunk Sixth, too. I don't think he necessarily needs a 3-in-1 weapon, though, it's OK to break the pattern sometimes. I'm thinking some kind of shotgun, I just can't think of a gimmick for it. A sword mode would be too obvious, y'know? Maybe it could turn into some oddball kind of weapon, like a pickaxe. Just a thought.

Being an anniversary season, I don't think we would get more than 6 rangers and I would like to see white as the sixth, but other than those things, it is a very good idea.

I also wouldn't mind another Chinese Martial Arts theme to go along with Dairanger and Gekiranger (don't know if Maskman fits in there, since martial arts from Japan and China were used)

Thanks for your replies and suggestions! Before I reply myself, about the martial arts thing: I admit, it'd be nice to see that motif again, but I doubt they'd do a martial arts series after a ninja one, especially for the anniversary, since that's when they usually try newer things.

The coins seem to be the most popular choice so far (BTW, did you mean to say coins in place of bullets, since you listed the bullets twice), but as for the oversized gun, I just feel that may be a bit silly. Probably not Kyoryuger silly, but still. Though, I do like the idea of putting the coin inside the part of the gun where you put bullets (sorry, not too gun savvy).

Also, while I admit, breaking the mold is good (and there'll be plenty), I wanna keep some of the basic anniversary things: Cellphone morpher, 6 core members, Silver Sixth Ranger, and a 3-in-1 weapon for said Ranger. I do like the idea of the pickax, but I don't think pickaxes are common in steampunk lore and culture. Perhaps I could do a pistol that becomes a rifle, or a walking cane (which can act like a staff) that becomes a gun, which becomes something like an ax, just to add to that idea. I'm not too up and up on steampunk weapons, so any help with that is much appreciated.

I also thought of this: The Sentai would use their team coins inside a cellphone morpher to morph, but would use their teamfire as the means of making Sentai copies.

Anymore comments, criticisms, concerns, and ideas, just let me know. Thank you all for your ideas so far!
