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

Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legacy Nick Game

UPDATED 4/21/14
From my Power Force rep:
 "Featuring the Power Rangers Super Megaforce for the first time, these five Rangers will suit up to fight the forces of Prince Vekar. The Rangers must cut through hordes of X-Borgs and their bigger counterparts, Bruisers, on 3 challenging levels, each with its own unique setting and super powered boss. The game also features all-new Legendary Moves where the Power Rangers Super Megaforce can power up and temporarily morph into iconic Rangers from the past, unleashing their Legendary powers."
 
This game looks awesome, it is just like the award winning Power Rangers Super Samurai Game that was great and it has Ranger Keys you can unlock and it looks like you will be able to play like the other rangers later on as well. Also Jake and Emma both have Blasters, which sound like real guns. It still gas some bugs like falling X-Borgs or X-Borgs getting stuck but that is common.
 
 In the last week of March, they added the MMPR Keys. There was some bugs but finally it was fixed by the first week of April. This week they added Lost Galaxy and In Space. They have great graphics when you call an attack. For In Space, they have a technological graphic like the In Space morphing sequence. Lost Galaxy has their individual coins and powers (wind, etc.). Samurai has their Power Symbols and MMPR has the Dinosaur symbol.

 Yellow keys. You can play as Samurai. Yellow's skirt on the key for Samurai is incorrect on the bottom. Only the Space Key has a skirt. The MMPR, Lost Galaxy and Space keys are more drawn than the more CGI looking ones of Samurai and Super Megaforce. When the attacks happen, MMPR and Lost Galaxy have skirts, all the Yellow Rangers have skirts.

Green Super Megaforce, Green Samurai, and Green Lost Galaxy all have different shades of Green. MMPR Black key was incorrectly Green Samurai in the store and was called Mighty Morphin Green.

 Super Megaforce, Samurai and the other keys all have different shades of Pink even though on the show they don't. Only Pink Space key has a skirt. The Pink Samurai Key is incorrect on the bottom.
 
 Blue Keys (Super Megaforce, Samurai, MMPR, Lost Galaxy and In Space)

Orion's Keys (Super Megaforce Silver, Gold Samurai, Mighty Morphin Green, Magna Defender and Silver Space). Magna Defender is not a button on Gokai Silver's Gokai Cellular/Orion's morpher but Gai Ikari did become Magna Defender with his changer regardless that the button was not there.

Gathering strength from all 5 Rangers, when this cannon is fired, it blasts an overwhelming punch! Insert up to 5 Ranger Keys for extra power, use the hand pump to build up strength, then watch the LED display to know when the Super Mega Cannon is ready. When it's fully charged, press the trigger to launch 2 discs at once! Discs stick to walls, windows and more, so you can set up targets and perfect your aim. Comes with a target, 3x discs and 1x Legendary Ranger key that can also be inserted into other Power Ranger Battle Gear Items.

ORANGE! Tokkyuger New Catalog Scans


 More trains and a sixth Ranger
 I don't know the name yet but I assume he will be called Six or Roku (six in Japanese). Him being Orange confirms my suspicion we will be getting Rainbow Rangers this year. Also, he is the second Orange after Battle Cossack. But of course Deka Swan, Geki Chopper and Bouken Silver all had orange in their suits as well.



It is not known yet if this is toy-only or in-show (I'm assuming it is just the toys) but here they got a Kyoryuger, Go-Busters and Kamen Rider Den-O version trains to go with the robo.
