Slightly off topic I know, but has anyone at Saban ever actually said that ToQger's' train theme was the main reason it got skipped and not because, well, Dinosaurs and Ninjas are more of a safe zone? I know the fandom has theorized it as the reason, but I don't recall any official statement about it.

Meanwhile(back on topic) with this, granted, we do now have other "safe zone" picks in terms of Zyuohger and Kiramager, but this very premise has one thing you know they'd be more than willing to bank on: the Daizyujin Ranger.

Not just that either. When it comes to the other three Zord Rangers, while opinions on the seasons they represent are mixed, the mecha themselves are generally very popular with the fandom, atleast in my experience. The only real outlier is the AkaRed+Big One fusion, but again stuff like that hadn't stopped Saban(The Space Sheriff cameo in Ninja Steel), Disney(the sillier elements of RPM), or Hasbro(the Gavan cameo in Beast Morphers) before.

Plus Hasbro has shown with BM that they're willing to spend more money than any of the previous rights holders have before, so that helps.
