Beast Morphers could most certainly be the final live action series, for a whole host of reasons not limited to the above. I have it on fairly good authority that Toei aren't giving Saban Brands (and now Hasbro) the rights to any new Super Sentai material. They can only adapt the stuff they already licensed in the past. So Hasbro Studios will have to announce some sort of animated series. I fully expect the Nickelodeon deal to be bought out too, so they have control over a better deal.

Anyways, I reckon the next big Hasbro announcement is going to be their acquisition of IDW, and buyout of Machinima from Warner Bros.

Hasbro's ending the live action movies because of how poorly the last two performed, especially as far as the toys go, with a lot of the fault being how poorly Paramount has handled the franchise. They're still intending on making their live action Hasbro Cinematic Universe, which will eventually include the Transformers.
