Go Go has been setting up Jason and Trini romance since the second issue, so I'm glad that it's going to blossom. Too bad Dan Mora won't be doing the main art. He's the reason I prefer Go Go to the main book.

While I love another purple ranger why call her Solar Ranger when purple is not one of the colors that pop up in my head when I think solar. I am guessing her zord my be a dragon from the head looking thing on her helmet and her weapon that makes me think of two wings put together.
The gold trim represents that solar panel circuitry too, as a means to absorb that 'cosmic ray' vastness of her suit. At least in design element. No clue in actual story or character application since we've yet to see her in the comic. |

Eh, in recent years they kinda have. They'll technically do it, but only in a "here's Chromedome with an IDW head but a G1 body, also the body is coloured like IDW and the head like G1 for some ungodly reason" way. And they seem to have all but abandoned doing comic stuff in POTP and WFCS.

The prime wars trilogy, which in CW had IDW Ultra Magnus as a leader class figure. And introduce the new IDW character Alpha Bravo? Or do you mean like Marvel where they do half cinematic and half comic nearly all the time? So yeah, I think comic material will be covered fine. As I said, Hasbro hasn't been shy about covering it. Including how much they've adopted Drift into the transformers franchise as a whole, as well as did the IDW only version of Blurr before they did TR Blurr. Or Arcee's IDW version as a Titan master, or gave Nautica a figure. Last edited by Librarian; 08-20-2018 at 06:07 AM.. |

There wasn't anything IDW about it beyond the bulkier body build, which is just a consequence of it being a retool. It was pretty much just to give fans a Headmaster Arcee like, again, on that one G1 cartoon episode. And, yeah; characters like Alpha Bravo and Victorion were put in the comic because of the toys, not the other way round. Nautica was the only time a character completely original to IDW's comics got a toy since Drift.

You seem to have it a little backwards. Alpha Bravo was written into the comics because he had a toy, not the other way around. Ultra Magnus came out 4 years ago, which isn't exactly recent. Neither Arcee or Nautica were retail releases, with Arcee being done probably because there was concept art, back in the G1 days, of a Headmaster Arcee. And both of those are around a year old, with no signs of any IDW themed releases for the forseeable future, especially with Siege looking to be Uber-Gen 1 themed. But please, tell me about how the comics will be represnted.
And Alpha Bravo was planned for both IDW and Hasbro side at the same time. So not as backwards as you may think. As for the others, they're still comic releases that count. But that's besides the point, they haven't been shy about doing IDW releases at all. But the current lineups have been more G1 leaning for other brand unification reasons as well. Power Rangers won't have that same issue. The point is, they still did IDW releases/comic characters though, they haven't ignored them in the past. Including having full on Generations waves before the trilogy that were pretty much solidly only IDW. So the odds of comic material made as toys in Lightning is relatively high. But sure, please tell me more about what I don't know about what they make and why. That's quite funny from my perspective. |

I think the Solar Ranger might be Astronema.

correct if I'm wrong but isn't Go Go Power Rangers set in MMPR's (comic) past? And since Jason and Trini aren't a couple in MMPR (in Shattered Grid, it seems like Jason and Lauren are flirting with each other, IMO), it doesn't look like this romance will last. Don't get me wrong, Jason and Trini in GGPR are definitely made for each other, it's been hinted at and built up really well, but this seems like a romance destined to fail. Unless Shattered Grid decides to multiverse the two series after it's conclusion (since the whole event temporarily made each season it's own universe in the comics)
