On the Sentai side of things... well, good, it allows that franchise to stand on its own and do more creative things than having to set things up for Power Rangers to steal from it. In fact a LOT of the projects they've done recently are pretty difficult to adapt even on an aesthetic aspect, so again, this is just a plus for each side. Sentai gets to do what it wants to do and Power Rangers doesn't have to tie itself into a knot figuring out the best way to market train powers or showa-esque monsters to a western audience.

Exactly I don't see Hasbro going -lets do a live action series we have... 10k to work with- they are an established enough company to have at least an idea of what sort of budget would be needed. PLUS by breaking from Toei they won't be needing to PAY whatever amount to purchase the footage from the sentai. I expect somewhere CLOSE to what we've been getting fight wise. Though I do feel having to do it all on their own will mean fewer powerups at least early on. Its easier I feel to do an extra power up or some cockpit mode if your only having to shoot Civilian footage and a handful of fights. Plus voice over stuff, there could be a red ranger power up OR a team power up but chances are the first Hasbro original wont get both.

Again its hard not to compare the Beast X megazord with Go-Busteroh or whatever it was called. And new company means new molds sure, but in the past many people lost faith in Bandai of America stuff(outsideo f figures i'd say) so we got in a habbit of just ordering the Japanese mecha.. so unless your a diehard collector or a reviewer you have little reason to buy DinoFury Megazord if you already have all the Ryusoulger mecha.

Also yes aesthetics as well as Nick's unreasonable (in my opinion) episode limit.

ToQGer- maybe... but we'd need new foot soldiers I feel and I enjoyed the IDEA of color swapping but it honestly felt totally pointless. It didn't give any special bonus. We've seen rangers trade weapons on a few occasions before why not just throw red your your weapon. Yes if red and blue you can now SUMMON the other weapon but thats about it.

Zyuohger- LOVE The rangersuits, and a good deal of the enemies sadly the mecha were not up there.

Kyuranger- IF we had even a disney era 32 episode run I could say MAYBE... but the fact that one episode its Rangers ABCDE down on the ground and thenext its ABDFG or something the only constant being red, thered be no time to build anyone other than red i feel in the first season. S2 would bring in Phoneix and have silver go evil for a little bit (unless they started with dark silver) just TOOO Many rangers for the current format.

LvP- Again i loved the idea of the series, the idea that the 4th was going to be a double agent and then Toei just bombed it. Like have him be more Phantom ranger or even Zeo GOld 2 how he shows up helps team A out one fight next fight he shows up as his other form to help team B.. .Then ep or 2 later he changes mid battle to make them wonder... I could see it working in a 20 ep season.

After all you can have Patren X show up help the cops out, Then next fight scene Lupin X shows up hinders the cops/helps the lupinrangers. NEXT ep he changes mid fight.both teams wonder who's side this mystery ranger is really on. THEN 3rd ep you reveal his civilian identity to the two teams. I would of just loved if LvP had done a few episodes where they toyed around with his loyalty before having him waltz around with "Undercover" on his jacket.

Kiramager- This i feel could probably adpat pretty easily Generic Evil Aliens, shiny vehicle mecha, The HARDEST thing would probably be the Masshin Expres/Smog JOukey bit... how did the evil aliens get thier hands on something that can combine with our new train zord? Though the monstersof the week are a lil... lackluster i mean i get it they are the bad guys we shouldn't get attatched but atleast the monster of the weeks for the other 4 had some individuality
