Original-Looking Evil Sentai/Power Rangers

Here are six evil Sentai in Super Sentai that had uniforms that weren't simply copies of the main Rangers. Next I will cover when Super Sentai have been copied, clones, otherwise.
Galaxy Sentai Gingaman (Fiveman, 1990)
Not to be confused by the Gingaman of 1998, they were a comedic all male evil Squadron of five aliens who first formed by Doldora as part of her plan to hypnotize the masses. But they would later return to serve Chevalier. They were killed by the Fivemen near finale. They appeared from episodes 9 to 47.

Dark Rangers (MMPR, 1994)
I have cover them before here. In Season 2, Zedd got five teens to become Dark Rangers but we never saw them fight. They were re-painted Putties and stunt coordinator says they tried to do fighting footage but it didn't look so hot. There was Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Black.

Flowery Kunoichi Team (Kakuranger, 1994)
Most commonly known as Hanarangers, they were Gasha Dokuro's personal ninja team he created from cats. Transform by the command "Battle Change!" (Battle Henge). The Sanshinshou turned them back into cats during the finale. They appeared in Episodes 15-16, 20-53. Their colors were pink, purple, blue, green and orange.

Boso (Reckless Driving) Sentai Zokuranger (Carranger, 1996) / Creeps
Within a Sentai series that was in of itself a parody, the Zokuranger were a parody of 'evil Sentai.' Other than SS Pamaan, the other members were made out of the Gorotsuki that have hung out in the BB Saloon for the entire series. After SS Pamaan was killed, the others continued living with the Bowzock. They appeared as a team in one episode. In Turbo, they became the 'Creeps.'

Jaden (Dark-Powered) Sentai Nejiranger (Megaranger, 1997) / Psycho Rangers
The most stylized of the evil Sentai, they were exact copies of the Megaranger fighting-wise and targeted their colors. They had monster forms as well. The MegaRangers manage to digitize them, preserving them as DataCards. Hinelar found the cards soon and sent them to where no one would ever find them. In Power Rangers, the Psycho Rangers returned in Lost Galaxy, Psycho Pink even caused the death of Kendrix.


Renaissance Trinoid Wicked Life Squadron Evoranger
revived Trinoids 3, 10 and 11 resurrected as "Renaisse Trinoid" used to test AbareKiller in Abare Mode's powers. They were killed by AbareKiller.

A-Squad SPD Rangers (SPD, 2005)
Okay, so not completely original costumes (because the helmets are of Megaranger/PRiS), but they are a evil Sentai team in context of SPD.

Super Sentai names spilling into Power Rangers

UPDATED 6/26/14
There has been Super Sentai titles or names for weapons slip into Power Rangers.

In the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (1993), you could clearly see the words Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger (1992) on the morphers, with American footage, they had 'Power Rangers' on it, but some footage they couldn't change it.

You could also clearly see the Zyuranger title on the Pink Ranger's power bow.

Occasionally, graphics would slip and you could see Sentai terminology. For example, here in this clip used in Power Rangers Turbo (1997), you can clearly see the word 'Bowzock' which was the name of the kind of villains the Carranger (1996) had. Carranger was their counterpart. And if you believe this is a Carranger image, look at the bottom of the screen that says 'Fox Kids.'

The gold symbol on the belt buckle for the Power Rangers in Space (1998), it is a 'M' for Denji Sentai Megaranger (1997), also the 'M' on the megazords.

And the reason the Psycho Rangers had 'N's on their buckles was because they were actually the Nejiranger of the Nejira clan.

The Quadroblaster's real name in Megaranger was the Multi Attack Rifle, I guess Saban and crew didn't think much to editing this.

Or this. Which are the Megaranger names of these weapons.

In Lightspeed Rescue (2000), we see the names of the vehicles in Kyukyu Sentai GoGo Five (1999).

The only use of a Super Sentai logo in Power Rangers was the Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger (2003) in the episode "Lost and Found in Translation" of Power Rangers Dino Thunder (2004). It was not said it was Abaranger but you could hear the Abaranger theme song in the background.

In RPM (2009), we see the word 'Go-On' on some of the weapons, the daggers of Silver and Gold and also Go-Onger on the Road Attack Zord. Go-Onger of course being Engine Sentai Go-Onger (2008). And the most obvious use of Go-Onger is on the bus Project Go-Onger.

 
In Power Rangers Megaforce, we see the Gosei Cards from Gosieger with the Kanji and all, even with different names of the item.

I am working on the Common Locations of Super Sentai but I need to find pictures.

Power Rangers/Super Sentai Villain Comparison: Space/Megaranger

Power Rangers In Space (1998) / Denji (Electromagnetic) Sentai Megaranger (1997)

Astronema / Shibolena
Shibolena was a robot created in the image of the daughter of Dr. Hinelar, one of the baddies, but he was not transferred into Power Rangers. Astronema was the villianess, formerly Karone--the sister of Andros. Astronema was lied to her whole life, I guess Shibolena too a bit. Shibolena was killed near the finale by MegaRed while protecting Yugande. Astronema came around to Andros, but was brainwashed to be evil, and eventually became good once again.

Dark Specter / Javious the First
Dark Specter got together all the baddies from the past seasons and looked like Divatox's fiance. Javious the First was a mysterious main villain that was rarely seen. Javious was connected to the Nejiranger (Psycho Rangers) without him knowing and when they were destroyed by the Megaranger, it killed him. The Pyscho Rangers were connected to him but it didn't kill him. He was destroyed when one of his minions-Darkonda struck into him.

Ecliptor / Yugande
Yugande and Ecliptor cared much about their female charges. Yugande was destroyed for many times and one last time when he was in his red form Super Yugande. He didn't questioned Hinelar. Ecliptor did redeem himself, caring for Astronema but was turned evil and destroyed by Zordon's wave.

Darkonda/Guirali
Darkonda and Guirali were both self-centered and didn't stop to nothing to get their way. They were wicked and cruel. He kidnapped Karone when she was a child. He had multiple lives but had one last one, which he used to destroy Dark Specter. Guirali sing children as human shields to prevent the Megarangers from fighting back. He was destroyed mid-way through the series by the Megaranger.
