Could Hasbro rebuild one of the pre Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Series I series from the ground up if the rumor about Don Bros holds?

I don’t see it happening. The footage is too old and would look really out of place next to modern HD quality original scenes. The mechs have also aged really badly; Jetman was the last series where the mech suits were mostly flat boxes with painted details instead of dynamic three-dimensional shapes.

I think I saw someone make a fan film adaptation of Jetman a few years back, so there's always that!

I'm pretty sure what wentwood meant by "from the ground up" means not using any old footage and suits at all. Recreate everything from those shows in the modern day.
Hypothetically, yeah, I guess it might be possible and maybe even cool if they did it right. But that would also be ridiculously expensive, since they'd have to shoot new Megazord footage as well. Furthermore, some of those Sentai have already been established as Never Seen Before On Earth and the pre-Bioman suits don't look modern enough. So that only leaves Bioman, Liveman, Turboranger and Jetman as viable candidates for adaption. I doubt they'd try it though.

They wouldn’t be able to. Their contract is specifically “adapt every Sentai from Zyuranger onwards, unless a reason is given to do otherwise”

So that only leaves Bioman, Liveman, Turboranger and Jetman as viable candidates for adaption. I doubt they'd try it though. I also believe in the potential incorporation of Gorenger, JAKQ, and Goggle V. The "Marvel Copyright" Trilogy gives me major pause. I have always believed that Pre-Zyu could be used and I think widescreen movies are viable, but NOT an entire series worth for each entry! There just isn't enough money or time before it gets to be too much. The inevitable product glut is also a factor. I believe in a mini-series or original movies to service the incorporation needs which would introduce multiple teams at various and strategic intervals. An anthological spinoff is also a good alternative. In addition, any modern footage of a Pre-Zyu team such as the Gokai Change footage could be used to compensate for the need of available scenes. Cloth suits and blocky robos are merely asthetic concerns which could be explained away. The idea is that these are older forms which haven't been seen often and aren't well understood. I've also interpreted the whole "Powers not seen on this planet before!" as reflective towards four of the main Dairanger suits only (since Red was preoccupied at the time)! I envision a past in which Zordon and Alpha prepped for the change to the Thunderzords by inviting "RyuRanger" to Earth back during the time of Mighty Morphin'! New footage would be necessary for all of this and Super Megaforce proved that they were willing to film Pre-Zyu suits, so there is precedent. Incorporation can be done, but NOT by totally adaptating every episode of a particular series! |

As a TV show? Most likely not. The closest we would probably get would be if Power Rangers does go 100% original footage and they decide to modernize one of the past Sentai seasons' designs.
In the comics? I could definitely see it happening. In fact, they're kinda already doing it with Power Rangers Universe right now. They've already bought the rights to use designs up until Ryusoulger, so I say why not get your money's worth of tell more stories of past Ranger teams. The biggest hurdles I could see is how Gorenger & J.A.K.Q. are co-owned with Ishinimori Productions, and of course the 3 Marvel shows, but that still leaves plenty of other teams. |

If they went through the trouble of remaking old footage, why wouldn't they just make new, original suits?

The pre-Bioman suits though, they look very dated and I don't think they would be as popular with the modern demographic.
