Anything since “Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers”.

“Mighty Morphin Mecha Rangers”? Due to the Rangers being machines?

If JJ is the White Ranger, I think it would be cool to see an appearance from Lord Drakkon as well! Maybe Stacaesar could be an alternate JJ from that universe!

Power Rangers Revolution seems to fit.

The names of the Rangers and Stacaesar?

Zenkaizer: ?
Zenkai Juran: ?
Zenkai Gaon: ?
Zenkai Magine: ?
Zenkai Vroon: ?
Twokaizer: ?
- TwokaiRicky: ?
- TwokaiCutanner: ?
Stacaeser: ?

Zenkaizer: Super Mecha Ranger
Zenkai Juran: Dino Mecha Ranger
Zenkai Gaon: Wild Mecha Ranger
Zenkai Magine: Titan Mecha Ranger
Zenkai Vroon: Drivemax Mecha Ranger
Twokaizer: Legendary Mecha Ranger
Stacaeser: Dark Mecha Ranger

I can't think of anything unique for Ricky and Cuttanar but maybe their names already work.

That way, Twokaizer can take center stage (in the beginning) given that he carries the Gokaiger "35" on his helmet. Zenkaizer could easily be JJ if this is a JJ that comes from a timeline in which S.P.D. doesn't exist and JJ never became S.P.D. B-Squad Green. The "45" on Zenkaizer's helmet denotes the futuristic status. As to the rest of the team, the numbers on their helmets can denote not the season they come from, but how the Megazords' they're based on are organized. My thinking is that older Megazords are being copied with the intent of using them for evil, and they're organized differently by the villains for this purpose. So if adaptation Zenkai Juran has "16" on his helmet, it's not because he relates to the 16th Season (as is Zenkaiger's case), but it's because he relates to the Mighty Morphin' (Dino) Megazord being referred to as "Megazord 16" by the the villains!

As for naming conventions...."Power Rangers Mecha Revolution"!?

(Hypothetical) Backstory: The Legendary Rangers have had their link to the Morphin' Grid severed by mechanical villains who are descendant of the Machine Empire. Even worse, numerous Megazords have been duplicated to conquer the Earth. A valiant space pirate tries to stop them, only to contend with androids sent to destroy him. It's only after an unknown Ranger from the future arrives in the present that the androids develop emotions and defect to the side of Good. Using specialized gear developed from old Megazord data, the androids are able to Morph into new mechanized forms and revolt against their creators. The Mecha Revolution has begun!

The idea of making Tojitendo into descendants of the Machine Empire relates to the (as yet) unconfirmed fates of Gasket and Archerina and how Archerina's (as yet) unseen father was described as Mondo's rival. Gege, Ijirude, and Stacaesar are all perfectly usable, but I have doubts about Bokkowaus and Barashitara. I know that eventually, those two will have large final battles with the Zenkaiger and that's the most important part. Those battles will still make them usable, but in a substantially reduced capacity. It would also be good to have Non-Empire villains make appearances, like Professor Cog and Scrozzle. It keeps the thematic elements of mechanical villains and helps broaden the multiversal aspects of an Anniversary Season.

One thing that has always scared me about Sentai Anniversary Seasons are the older Sentai. Battle Fever J, Denziman, and Sun Vulcan were produced with Marvel copyrights and I'm unclear if those copyrights are still relevant to this day. If they are, then Marvel could rule against their usage or ask too much in permitting their usage. As such, Battle Fever Robo, DaiDenzin, and Sun Vulcan Robo would have to be excised for that reason! A very rough reorganization would have to be done in order to replace them and still keep the numbers in that case. Movie Ninja Megazord, "Beyond The Grid" Solar Megazord, and Hyperforce Megazord could easily be implanted to serve as replacements if it came to that. If Movie Ninja Megazord is untenable due to a rights issue or because it's not well-received by fans, then the 2017 Movie Megazord could replace it instead.

Since I don't have good ideas for Ranger Designation Names yet, the best way to the end this for me is to have a discussion about the Geartlinger and Geardalinger! It goes without saying that any toy adaptation would lead to orange capping and that would just ruin the design flow! To accommodate that and the fact that I've already dreamed-up a story which naturally necessitates reshoots, weapon replacement is a must! A newer blaster which already has an orange barrel on-screen and therefore would not suffer the indignity of an added color when produced as a toy. As to the Geardalinger, it has a small barrel when used as a gun, but it would still have to be orange capped, making it a candidate for replacement as well. That doesn't mean that it can't still be used as inspiration in some capacity. I've considered a new cockpit for (Adaptation) TwoKaiOh in which the controls look precisely like the wheel for the Geardalinger, so as to nod its existence. What about Geartozinger, you ask? Haven't decided whether to leave it as is or modify/replace it as well. What about the time the team made the Geartlinger enlarge and used it as a cannon to blast older Sentai Mecha summoned by Stacaesar, you ask? Since it is the giant-sized versions of the team performing that attack, have a reshoot in which they summon the Mighty Morphin' Power Cannon or the Zeo Cannon instead! You don't actually have to re-produce a role play item for either since it would be a one-off homage, though you could re-produce a weapon accessory for the small figures or the DX figures to hold!

That's my take on adapting Zenkaiger for P.R. at the moment!
