Power Rangers Megaforce - Harmony and Dizchord - Episode Review

 Summary:
Troy spots Emma singing by herself in the forest. Malkor sends a new monster to play loud annoying music, that effect Troy and Emma. The five Rangers fight the Loogies and the monster, but Red and Pink are suffering. They try destroying him but fail. Emma hears regular music in the hallway and is the only one bothered by it. Malkor sends down Vrak to reason with the monster.  The boys are at the juice bar and Ernie's music effects Troy, so he leaves. Gia arrives and the monster attacks again, everyone is effected by the music except for Ernie.


They call Troy but the music bugs him. Emma by the way is enjoying silence in a meadow. Gia, Jake and Noah come to fight but encounter Vrak. The monster amplifies his music throughout the world (through horrible green screen and stereotypes of various countries). Vrak beats up the three. Troy gets an idea. The bad guys stop when they hear a female voice singing. Troy brings in Emma singing. Emma singing a song about flowers blooming and the Cherry Blossoms start blooming, reminding me of the scene from Goseiger.
 

Troy activates a tornado with the cherry blossoms, hitting the bad guys.  The MotD plays his music combating Emma's music as the Rangers fight Vrak. MotD goes down and Vrak is beaten by the Megaforce Blaster (3 part). Troy and Emma morph. The duo fights the Loogies quickly. The five do a five part slash and use the Megaforce Blaster again and destroy him this time. Vrak makes Dizchord big and Megazord is formed.

 
He like other MotDs, does his gimmick as a giant and gets hit by 'music' of the mechazords and destroyed by the regular Gosei Great Megazord. At the Warstar ship, Malkor reprimands Vrak. He wants to come up with a foolproof plan. Back at the juice bar, the gang congrats Emma for singing. Ernie says he heard the best music yesterday and recorded some of it---which is the monster's music--and clears the business.
 
Review:
The green screen was really horrible. Oh my god, Josh Duhamel can't sing, his wife didn't even help him. I am talking about a promo on Nick during the episode. Anyway, a pretty bland episode with uninspired music. The use of the same clothes and same sets like back in MMPR are starting to get to me. I think it because the sets are so small. The Samurai sets were much bigger and more ample, giving more for the eye to see. Vrak saying he was Dizchord's manager was also painful and unnecessary. Overall, I did not like this episode.


Power Rangers Card Battle in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia

The Dice-O and Power Rangers Action Card Game are being released in other countries.
 Bandai is releasing Power Rangers Cards in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. 

It uses American Power Rnager names (other than Korea's use of the Power Ranger name but actual Sentai series instead of dubbed Power Rangers). It uses the Japanese Dice-O arcade game.


It also has a Facebook page but it doesn't say what country so it could get confused for American.
http://www.facebook.com/mobileprotection#!/pr.cardbattle?fref=ts

 There are 66 cards in Series1, released in March. So far, it looks like Samurai, RPM, Jungle Fury, Operation Overdrive and Mystic Force are being released, these are in order unlike Series 2 Guardians of Justice in North America.

UPDATED 3/5/13
 Following cards from Facebook:
Fury Diamond collected questions from Ranger Crew forum members and asked the representative:

Q: Can we expect to get cards for all the primary villains (Samurai in Series 1)?
A: Yes, eventually, the amount of Villains in each set will be around small, roughly 10 on average. While we realize they are popular to many people, we want a majority
of what people pull from the packs to be Rangers which they are more likely to recognize and be familiar with.

Q: How many series' will there be in total?
A: As many as we can make, and with your support we hope we can go for a long time since we have so much material to work with.

Q: Will the card game extend into 2014?
A: Yes.

Q: Will we be receiving secondary villains? (PRLR Cyborg Rangers, PRiS Psycho Rangers, PRSPD A-Squad)
A: From what I have seen in making the game, it's harder to find art for these particular cards. But I will try my best to make it so in Series 4 and beyond.

Q: Will there be a Female Red Samurai Card?
A: Yes!

Thoughts and Theories on Power Rangers Action Card Game (Also News!)

UPDATED 3/8/13
 The Power Rangers Action Card Game Facebook has been revealing quite a number of tidbits on Series 2 Guardians of Justice.

There are new battlizer modes this set but you'll have to wait and see which ones. he bar codes will be on the actual card, at this time the videos are being finalized and we don't want to confuse those with the app if they tried to scan them and found the links did not work. every Sunday will be Villain day with 2 new Villains cards for the next 5 weeks."
We always stay at least 1 set ahead so any suggestion we hear now will be taken into consideration for Series 4+. So far the demand is for: More Mighty Morphin (including zords), Alien Rangers, Psycho Rangers, 6th Rangers (Titanium Ranger, Silver Space Ranger). Am I missing anything. xD

I'll have to check with Saban to see what to call the Aquitian Rangers, and your right now Battlizer Modes was another request. It may take a while but we will try to hit all the major Villains, their foot soldiers, and then henchmen.
[Facebook member names have been omitted]

[He is not in] Series 2 so the earliest you would see him (Zhane, Silver Space Ranger) would be Series 3.

You are all such great fans, since the Power Rangers ACG Series 2 "Guardian of Justice" previews have begun we have gotten over 200+ likes. As a treat, we'll show a NEW Ultra Rare for every increment of 100 likes we get from here on out, and make sure to check back each Friday for Ultra Rare Fridays! =D 

Also he (or she, not sure) suggested Ryan the Titanium Ranger would be in series 3 while Fury Diamond was told by his source Ryan would have a card in a future series. 

LAVENDER RANGER'S THEORIES
The following is my own theory and has no backing of turth whatsoever:
It seems six rangers are being shunned to Series 3 or future series. Also, Ranger Gold and Silver of RPM have no cards in Series 1. RPM Gold and Silver will be included in Series 2 CONFIRMED by Fury Diamond. We might find out in the future coming weeks with the previews. My theory is that they might be saving the Sixth Rangers for Series 3 because Robo Knight is set to premiere in Episode 8 which will premiere either now in March or in a few months. Series 3 is set to be released in the summer.

 For Sixth Rangers, I made a count..



 1. Green Ranger (Appeared in Series 1 and they could release more cards)

2. White Ranger (Appeared in Series 1 and they could release more cards)

3. Gold Ranger (even though Zeo is not scheduled to release yet)

4. Phantom Ranger (even though Turbo isn't scheduled yet)

5. Silver Ranger (Set to appear in Series 3)

6. Titanium Ranger (Set to appear in Series 3)


7. Quantum Ranger (Time Force not scheduled yet)

8. Lunar Wolf Ranger (Wild Force not scheduled yet)
  9. Green Samurai Ranger (Ninja Storm scheduled for Series 2, no word on him yet)
10. White Dino Ranger (Dino Thunder not scheduled yet)

11. Omega Ranger (SPD scheduled for Series 2, no word on him yet)

12. Soaris Knight (Mystic Force scheduled for Series 2, no word yet)

13. Mercury Ranger (Operation Overdrive not scheduled yet)


14. Ranger Gold and Ranger Silver (did not appear in Series 1, will be in Series 2)

15. Gold Samurai Ranger (2 cards in Series 1, could have more cards)

16. Robo Knight (some 'promo toy cards.')
2 or 3 cards per Ranger: 32+ 10 or so Robo Knight cards: 42

[RPM Ranger Gold and Silver, Gold Samurai Ranger and Robo Knight cards provided by Megaforcecast.com]

Megazords and Zords:
1. Dragonzord (no card yet, Battle mode did get card in Series 1)
2. Tigerzord and Mega Tigerzord (no cards yet)
3. Pyramidas
4. Artillatron
5. Mega Winger
6. Max Solarzord
7. Q-Rex
8. Wolf Zord and Predazord
9. Samurai Star Zord
10. Dragozord and Stegazord
11. Omega Max Zord
12. Solar Streak Megazord
13. Flashpoint Megazord
14. Rev Megazord
15. Clawzord (no cards yet)
16. Gosei Ground Megazord (toy promo cards)
Around 32 cards
