The fandom shook this morning with the news that the next Power Rangers after Super Megaforce will be called Power Rangers Dino Charge. The big deal is that it is based on Kyoryuger (2013), which ends today--or rather tomorrow in Japan at 8:30 AM which is 5:30 PM on the Eastern side of the United States. Anyways, Super Megaforce takes footage from Gokaiger, the next in line to be adapted is Go-Busters (2012) and not Kyoryuger. Not officially but it was rumored that Saban was contractually obligated not to skip a Super Sentai series. Fans have wanted Saban to skip a Sentai for years but I think very little people wanted Go-Busters to be skipped. We don't know the real reason and we may never know it (going how fans are not satisfied with the truth). I want to make clear that even though it looks like Kyoryuger is being used, it is not guaranteed Go-Busters is being skipped. It could be possible they will be incorporated some how. I personally think it would be a mistake to use Go-Busters too heavily if the show is called 'Dino Charge.'
Storyline:
In Dino Charge, the Paragon Prisms were given to a dozen dinosaurs
for safe keeping by an alien, but they were lost when asteroids hit the
Earth and wiped out the dinos. Now in the present day, an intergalactic
bounty hunter starts sniffing around Earth looking for the Prisms in
order to harness their power and annihilate the world, so a team of
Power Rangers forms to find the Prisms first and fight the bounty hunter
and other threats with dino-powered swords, blasters, Zords (in Power
Rangers lingo, large fighting machines) and Megazords.
For fans who don't know Kyoryuger:
Red - Tyrannosaurus
Blue - Stegosaurus
Black - Parasaurolophus
Green - Velociraptor
Pink - Triceratops

FOLLOWING ARE JUST OPINIONS AND SPECULATIONS
Possible reasons Go-Busters was skipped:
- Some people think it because Go-Busters had low ratings and sales weren't well but it couldn't be enough of a reason.
- They liked the Dinosaurs (which appeals as Mighty Morphin nostalgia) better than the Spy theme.
- Since Saban has a contract that goes through 2016 with Nickelodeon, it could be possible they are doing 2 seasons once again. So when they saw that Go-Busters only had 5 Rangers and very little toys, they thought they couldn't stretch it through two years. Yes, Go-Busters have a power-up but it is possible they saw more potential in Kyoryuger. Judging by Megaforce and Super Megaforce, Saban doesn't want to spend much money so having Go-Busters being 2 years would require adding more Rangers, Vehicles and Arsenal and lots of new filming. And I guess Saban didn't like that and opted for Kyoryuger that has a lot of Arsenal and Rangers and require very little filming. I think it is a money issue. It could be all of these reasons I put here.
- Also Go-Busters and Kyoryuger couldn't have been merged like Megaforce because the themes and stories are so completely different.Go-Busters have the Buddyroids as characters and if they adapted Kyoryuger, they would had to either get rid of them or film new footage of them.
What could this mean to the future of adaptions:
With Samurai lasting 2 years, it left a three year gap between Goseiger and Megaforce (2010 and 2013). With Kyoryuger adapted as Dino Charge, it goes to a two year gap (2013 and 2015). If Dino Charge last two years, then Toquger (2014) would have a three year gap with its counterpart in 2017.
- Kyoryuger (2013) = Dino Charge (2014)
- Kyoryuger (2013) = Dino Supercharge (2015)
- Toquger (2014) = Power Rangers (2016)
Go-Busters VS Kyoryuger
Here are spoilers if you haven't seen both series...
- In the end, five Rangers, start with three. Silver and Gold come in halfway in the series.
- Each Ranger has a Buddyroid, a robo-animal buddy. Silver is actually a Buddyroid itself.
- In the end, three main Robos: Red has his own robo that combines with Yellow and Blue; Gold and Silver have their 2nd Robo which can combine with the first; A purple Lion Robo.
- Both main villains are humans, very little suit action. Saban would had to hire two actors, the female comes in half-way through the series.
- There is a Frog Buddyroid seen in the movie but rarely and there is no auxiliary zords.
- The main three have a power-up mode.
- No 'Morphing' sequence, very little stock footage. They would had to create their own which they have done in the past.
- Kyoryuger start with 5, and then get a Sixth Ranger (Gold).
- They have 2 Spirit Rangers, which are ghosts (Cyan and Gray).
- Then they have a male Violet Ranger that gives his powers to his granddaughter and she becomes like a '7th' Ranger, cameoing and guest starring but not a permanent fixture.
- Their mentor, a giant bird becomes Silver. And later on, Red's father, but they don't have to follow that storyline.
- There is a Navy Ranger of sorts, called Deathryuger and he is technically a monster and appears in the movie and briefly in the series.
- By the end of the series, Gray and Cyan get new people to transform into their forms, their gold on their sashes become Yellow. Cyan is female.
- In the end, they have four Megazords: Red-Pink-Blue, Gold-Black-Green, Violet-Cyan-Gray, and a Silver Megazord.
- Red gets a power-up only
- They have Dino Charge batteries that lead to different dinosaur-inspired attacks and weapons.
- In the end, 11 Zords, 11 different colors for the Rangers (Red, Blue, Pink, Black, Green, Gold, Cyan, Gray, Violet, Silver and Navy).

really they haven't finished ruining Gokaiger and they are moving on also they are skipping a series at least the name is good
But But "Its Morphin Time" golden opportunity.
Why. If any season they should skip its the new train one! Trains are even as culturally relevant to kids or american culture. The description also makes me shudder to watch it!
Since Saban liked the Dinosaur theme, i'm sure they wanna tie the story with MMPR and/or Dino Thunder somehow...
How about the fact that Gobuster is kinda a better replica of RPM story. It would be almost impossible for Saban to change this since, unlike goseiger and gokaiger, that story line is pretty specific and can't be molded as easily, plus im sure they wouldn't want to repeat a season.
i'm sorry dude but how can they ruin a completed show? super megaforce is it's own thing samurai was god awful because it was shinkenger base power ranges on what it is not what it isn't
I think Go-Busters was skipped because of the suits. I don't think they would appeal to American children.
well, with this, we can assure that there will be changes in the storyline & synopsis too...
As long as ToQger isn't skipped I don't care what happens.
Of course ToQger has six Rangers and nine mecha in the first half alone so it's not like there's little merchendicing potential.
I find it ironic that the series that used a lot of PR elements, essentially becoming sort of a tribute, was the one getting skipped. In the end it's still business as usual. Hoping for Dino Charge to return the old Power Rangers feel. Better storylines and actors please.
To 0048Files: The fact that there's footage with MMPR, DT, and DC's counterparts helps if, ironically, the Gobusters aren't in too much of it (Man, first they're not advertised much in what should be their own team up, now no PR counterpart.)
Quite frankly, Lavender Ranger makes a valid argument as to why Gobusters got skipped (is it even a question with "Dino" specifically in the title?). They have to do a ton more villain footage unless they though what they did for the first season with Rita worked well (how many times did they reuse footage of human Sentai villains? :D). Also it'll avoid the one season use of leather. I'll wager those didn't help Gobusters' case. Makes sense, even if it was a surprise, especially with the news preceding Kyoryuger's finale.
I wait to see what comes of it. Like Super Megaforce, I'll give it a chance.
That's possibly unlikely to happen, referring to skipping Go-Busters for a Kyoryuger adaptation.
I think Saban will make an American adaptation of Go-Busters next year and Kyoryuger in 2016.
This is nothing but a rumour except the logo. Saban hasn't confirmed whether or not that Dino Charge will air next year.
There might be war USA VS, Japan so, saban dont abuse the rules by skipping go busters ,or maybe toei wanted to this so, saban skips and then war happend....later toei sinks saban and shut it down or the other way.
