So how did Robot Chicken get the rights to use licensed characters for parodies? I'm not sure how much Hasbro wanted to have Optimus Prime deliver a Prostate Cancer Awareness PSA.
I mean, they permitted it sure, but still.

We already know the answer: it wouldn't.

Parody is legally protected as fair use.

Can we get a kick starter for this or something?

I wrote up a big general plot synopsis earlier in the year but can't remember in what thread I need Kamen Driver to happen!

Someone could at least start this in the fanfiction forum or something.

So a comedicly mature story. I think I could handle that

From the sexy purple haired villainess, the gratuitous hero panty shots and cosplay, the very adult themed and sometimes creepy characters, the whole otaku cultur exemplified by things like nudie peel back DVD cases from Season 1. This show is for the adult sentai fan. I can't see any reasonable way a Power Ranger adaptaion could be made that wouldn't be an utter train wreck. How would they even explain something as common place i nthat show as an anime school girl that transforms you into a hero?

I still say it's possible. Just release it on late-night programming.

And? The show is still being negotiated to even go into production. It wouldn't see release until 2015.
