Here are all of the current rumors…

- Universe Heroes is the new brand.
- SSS Gavan Infinity, the flagship of the Universe Heroes brand, is the series that will air in Sentai’s place in 2026.
- The series will merge Sentai and Metal Heroes into a shared universe, combining elements of both franchises in equal parts.
- The toy line is 100% Sentai, with a full line of Gattai Robos that are compatible with the Robo Universe joint system.
- This is a totally new Gavan.
- The structure of the cast is basically the new Gavan, in the role of the red ranger, teaming up with a female White Ranger. They interact with a group of rival sentai heroes, along the lines of Gozyuger’s “not-a-team”-team.
- Some less solid rumors suggest all of the rival heroes are competing to collect monsters, similar to the Chemys from Gotchard.
- This is being done so that Toei can leverage the show globally without Hasbro’s interference. They’re essentially reskinning Sentai concepts with Metal Heroes branding.

This is how things are looking as of now. Who knows what will come to light over the next few weeks, but this all seems pretty believable to me.
