Wakusei Sentai Solarranger (Planet Squadron Solarranger)

Story: Billions of years ago, war was waged between the Guardians of the Planets and the Dark Planet Lords. Now the Dark Lords start to re-emerge and Minor Planet Guardian Ceres (a former Planet Guardian that lost a majority of her power in the war) seeks the people of Earth to take the mantle of her comrades and fight the darkness.

Rangers:

SolarRed, Mars (♂): A bit brash but good-natured (I like to vision him like Sasuke/NinjaRed or Kenta/MegaRed – a bit hot-headed but one who will grow-up as the story progresses – but none of the obnoxiousness like Takaharu or Lucky). The leader of the team and wields the Sword of Mars.

SolarPink, Venus (♀): Red’s pretty, younger and slightly more level-headed sister, although a bit of a ditz and occasionally over-emotional. Dislikes infighting in the team and is constantly looking for a boyfriend. Wields the Venus Reflector (a shield with a mirrored surface and sharp edge).

SolarSilver, Mercury (♂): Red and Pink’s childhood friend. Not the brightest of the team and acts on impulse. Very friendly with kids and animals. The fastest of the team (although physically the weakest) and wields Mercury Tonfas (with wing-styled blades).

SolarYellow, Saturn (♂): A farmer with a degree of pacifism. Doesn’t want to be a ranger and having to fight, but knows that his power is necessary to fight the good fight and defend all things that grow. The strongest of the team and wields Saturn Scythes (can be wielded like Tomahawks or combined together as a double-ended scythe).

SolarBlue, Uranus (♀): An aspiring pilot with a passion for flying (she wishes to go into commercial flying). Her dream of becoming a full pilot can clash with the team when battle inevitably breaks out. The brightest of the five and wields the Uranus Arrow (a bow and arrow combo).

SolarNavy, Neptune (♂): A studious archaeologist and an amateur astronomy in his spare time. Believes the past to be more fascinating, so much that he would rather protect an ancient irreplaceable relic or older people than the younger generation (this naturally causes friction in the team and sometimes the bystanders chew him out for this). It is his archaeological skills that uncover a tomb containing Neptune’s power and becoming the Sixth Ranger of the team. Wields the Neptune TriKent (a trident that can convert into a greatsword or a rifle). Has his doubts about the team, to the point he thinks he would make a better leader, although he develops a soft spot for Blue.

SolarOhja, Jupiter (♂): The original Guardian and leader from billions of years ago kept in deep sleep. Due to being asleep for so long and the powers of his comrades being handed down to unknown people, he doesn’t trust the rangers, and so it is up to them and Ceres to make him warm-up to the modern age. His colour is black and is equipped with the golden PlaneTector (Plan-Eh-Tector) Armour, which can be transferred to other rangers if need be (although he tends to pass it Navy as he was the one who uncovered him and protected his sanctuary). His weapon is the Jovian Blitz Staff and he possesses the Nebula Cannon, which requires all seven rangers to wield.

Allies:
Ceres (♀): One of the participants of the great war that devastated the Solar System, in which she sacrificed her powers to protect her old comrades. While she cannot transform into a ranger, she does possess a green kaijin-like form, but is taxing on her body so she only uses it sparely.

Mecha:
WakuSeiOh: The team’s main robot, comprised of five animals:
Mars Lion
Venus Feline
Mercury Canine
Saturn Bull
Uranus Falcon

LeviAoZin: Solar Navy’s mecha, a serpentine leviathan that can transform into its own robot form AoSeiOh. It can also combine with Pink, Silver, Yellow and Blue to form Super AoSeiOh or with WakuSeiOh to form Muteki WakuSeiOh, the latter of which wields a weapon combined from WakuSeiOh and AoSeiOh.

KigoSeiOh: The team’s secondary robot, formed from six humanoid robots decked with the symbols of their respective planets (like OhBlocker).
Mars Kigo
Venus Kigo
Mercury Kigo
Saturn Kigo
Uranus Kigo
Neptune Kigo

Jupiter Pantheon: Solar Ohja’s personal mecha modelled after its namesake. Houses Jupiter Kigo, which can combine with KigoSeiOh to form Buster Mode (gives it some over the shoulder cannons).

Jupiter Pantheon doesn’t have a robot mode of its own, but transforms into Chariot Mode where the temple opens up, allowing Muteki WakuSeiOh to take its position as its rider, while the Kigos slot into side extensions on both sides of the Pantheon with Jupiter take its spot at the front. This combination is Ultimate WakuSeiOh. It can then summon spectral horses which then charge at the enemy, firing beams of energy from the Kigos before ramming into the monster, with Muteki WakuSeiOh delivering the final blow with its weapon.

Villains:

Resentful of the other planets bathing in the light of the sun, the Dark Planet Lords began a crusade to scour life from the Solar System and shroud it in darkness. They were sealed away at the end of the war, but not before succeeding in their objective of destroying many planets and wiping out life in the system (which forced the Planet Lord of Earth to sacrifice her lifeforce to breathe new life on her world) and now they return in the present day to finish the job if they can.

In the series, there would only be one Dark Lord active at a time: Sedna (♀), Eris (♀) and Pluto (♂) in that order (Pluto was a SolarRanger before he betrayed them in a promise for power). Haumea, Makemake and Quaoar would be movie-villains before making an appearance alongside the TV trio near the end as all six perform a terrible ritual (capturing and sacrificing Ceres along with themselves) to summon the dreaded Nemesis.

Two Minor Dark Lords would be present throughout as the Dark Planet Lords’ lackeys: Charon (♂) and Dysnomia (♀).

I think this sentai should be called Astroman.
