I love the idea of the various mecha being based on past mecha. Perhaps some inspiration from stuff like shattered grid. I mean we know it wouldnt be the first time that Sentai has taken a page from PR's playbook. Just look at Go-busters, its pretty obvious they took a page from RPM when doing the Go-busters plot line. So while i don't expect some sort of team made up of past rangers the ideas of a team that might integrate design elements from a variety of past ranger teams however is likely.
the Shattered grid arc found a way - if even for just for what the end of 1 volume- to mesh SEVERAL very different looking suits into one. So the idea of doing that but with Mecha is fun. I kinda wish they had found a snazzier name than "Sentai Gear" for the obvious gear shaped trinkets but... personally I cant think of anything and i'm sure its a case of in general the Japanese wouldn't equate 'Gear' with BOTH mechanical gears and arsenal gear. I do kinda wish they had broken away from the "_ OH" set up. Since normally we get Oh, King, or Jin suffixes. would be nice to have more stuff like Daiboken and GoseiGreat. |

I really like that creatures gets three different categories while vehicles which I think were even more seasons gets all of one

Daizyujin - most well known dinosaur season/helped toei take over the world
Gaoking wasn't Gaoranger the 25th season Daibouken 30th anniversary Magiking- i cant think of any reason other than its the most well known Magical beast focused one. Thats my take on the reason for those 4 I mean they likely tried to pair it down into 5 rangers... how do we categorize the past seasons. Animals, Vehicles, Dinosaurs, Magic. Think that sums up like any all seasons. Ok Dinosaurs we have 4 choices how do we choose which one? Zyuranger just makes sense. How do we choose the animal one- plenty of animal focused ones but 25th anniversary seaosn stands out the most. Same for vehicles on the 30th anniversary. I feel magic beasts is the least represented of the lot making Magiranger a bit easier to choose since I cant think of how many seasons focus on that Magi and Dairanger of the top of my head. What i mean is the idea of the villain bieng a computer virus/AI bit in Go-busters was clearly inspired by RPM going down that route. It took its own direction and such but its hard to look at go-busters nad NOT see the RPM influence. Which isnt' a bad thing at all it was great cause the did something totally differerent with that same basic idea. ANd i cant help but think that MAYBE the idea of such a diverse basis for the rangers ( animal, dinosaur, magic, vehicle) I cant help but think that MAYBE they could of been inspired by the Solar Rangers I"m not saying they will look like them at all just that the idea of a team with such a diverse themes is hard not to think about the diverse themes of the solar ranger designs.

Daizyujin is probably for the link to Power Rangers. MagiKing is just a fan-favorite I think. |

The "villain being a computer program" link between Power Rangers and Go-Busters seems kinda doubtful, since an evil computer program only appeared in one previous season of Power Rangers and isn't exactly an uncommon villain type in other scifi.
However, the fact that the Go-Busters transformation sequence literally says "it's morphin' time!" is a very obvious Power Rangers shoutout, and so is the fact that the giant robot enemies are called Megazords.
