"End Game"

Episode Summary:

 Troy practices the Dragon Sword shirtless in the forest. Vrak says the armada is coming, robots and Loogies rise from the water. The other Rangers tell Troy about the attack, he puts on his shirt and they run. They arrive to three robots and Loogies arriving to the shores. They morph.

They fight Loogies. Vrak wants to join, Messenger asks if he is sure. Metal Alice wants to fight but Vrak tells her it is personal and he needs to do it on his own. He leaves by himself. The Rangers continues fighting the Loogies with their individual weapons, naming them (Shark Bowgun, etc).

 

Robo Knight arrives and fights Loogies. The Rangers attack the three robots and destroy them. Vrak arrives and they go Ultra Mode and fight him. Troy asks for Metal Alice, he gets no answer. Vrak just says it is their last day. 

Robo Knight fights Vrak individually as he says it is enough and Vrak sets his sights on him. Vrak says his technology is superior and attacks all six. Knight and Blue both do Sea Shower. Yellow and Black access their powers and so does Red and Pink. Vrak go down. The six do their final attacks.

Vrak absorbs their energy and throws it back. They loose Ultra Mode and their morphers are burned and they can't use them. Messenger arrives and does a 'Moses' and splits the ocean in half. Vrak is weak but victorious. Mesenger reveals that Vrak is second in line at the throne, the brother of a prince. The Rangers aren't giving up. They fight the Messenger.

Robo Knight then fights the Messenger. He says that he could had chosen to fight him. Yellow gives RK his Robo Morpher that he dropped. The Rangers keep fighting and get blast, de-morphed. Messenger is about to kill them, they get up and say never give up and run towards his blast until RK stops it. He tri-fusions his morpher and is able to blast a beam of light towards Messenger.

Robo Knight was able to do this by energizing from within. With restoring his morpher and taking Messenger down for a while, he powers up the others' Morphers again. Robo Knight goes down, he gives Red his blaster, he can't help them, he needs to recharge. They morph and go Ultra and fight Messenger. They attack him but he is absorbing their powers.

Troy does the Vulcan cannon load up an they combine their ultra powers and blow up Messenger, pieces fall. Vrak is up again but Metal Alice arrives, she says that Vrak din't call her but she will do it. She was holding back before but she was a real robot. She says even with 100 Rangers, they won't be able to defeat her but she quickly goes down. They say that her loyalty was said. They see Vrak walk away.

Messenger (as just a head) and Vrak talk. Messenger tells Vrak to go into hiding. He might get mistaken for an enemy as they might not recognize him. It starts raining. Metal Alice tries getting up and apologizes to Vrak. Vrak thanks her. The Rangers just watch in Ultra Mode.

 Vrak tells Metal Alice she was discarded. She blows up behind him.  Troy tells Vrak that he is ruthless. He teleports away. It stops raining, the Rangers de-morph.

They run to look for Robo Knight but he is gone. Noah thinks he dragged himself off. Troy reports to Gosei. Gosei screams at them to morph. So they morph. They look up in the sky and sees endless amounts of ships attacking the city. They run and into trees. Troy calls for Gosei but no answer.

Troy goes running for Robo Knight even though the others tells him not to. He avoids blasts. The screen says "To Be Continued..."

 

Episode Review:

I liked the foreshadowing from Metal Alice about the '100 Rangers.' I also like the use of the Armada. And Gosei just screaming at them to morph and then not answering them, he must be talking to the other Rangers but does he really have no call waiting for two lines? ANYHOO, I think they spent too much time with Messenger and too little with Metal Alice but I think that was the footage. And at first, I was curious to know why Vrak left them but it was probably because of the Messenger's advice and the armada coming. The Christmas special will air next week December 7th.

Lavender Ranger's suspicions on Ranger Key Blind Packs

UPDATED 7/10/14 9AM EST
There will be no blind packs
First three Pics from Linear Ranger

On the week of November 29th, 2013, I checked at three Toys R Uses in Miami, FL and they didn't have any Super Megaforce toys and they said on the computer that Florida did not have them at all. They usually show up by the first or second week of December and they did appear during that time. You would think they would be available for Black Friday but Florida sucks.

The following is just my speculations and not based on fact at all:

Razzle of Razzle's Dazzles track down that there will be so far 14 3-Key backs. As of January 2014, 7 have been spotted with 7 more to come. First come out Super Megaforce (R, B, G), Megaforce (R, B, Bl), Lost Galaxy (R, B, G), Lightspeed (R, B, G), Wild Force (R, B, Bl), Mystic Force (R, G, Y), and Samurai (R, B, G). Most of the back of the boxes showed female Red Ranger but the Samurai set came with male Red Ranger. 38251, 38252, 38253, 38254, 38255, 38256, and 38257 are the ids for those.

The second round will have MMPR (R, B, Bl), Zeo (R, B, G or Y), Turbo (R, B, G), In Space (R, B, Bl), Time Force (R, B, G), Ninja Storm (R, B, Y), and SPD (R, B, G). 38258, 38259, 38260, 38261, 38262, 38263 and 38264 are those ids. Bandai UK has a pic of Yellow Zeo Key instead of Green that has been in the back of boxes. They only include 3 and not 5 or 6, I have my suspicions on what keys will be included in the blind packs. 

 Also, since the majority of the Rangers missing from the packs are females, has me suspicious if the majority of the blind packs will be mostly females. Because as we know Bandai thinks mostly boys buy these and don't want the girls, so they supply with less females. So now I am guiding myself more by the keys we have seen at both Comic-Cons: SDCC and NYCC. They had a lot of Sixth Rangers. 

FuryDiamond of Megaforcecast.com, Samuraicast.com, blog.samuraicast.com and Rangercrew.com supplied this picture:

And guiding myself by the Ranger Key App as they have Titanium Ranger and Ninjor. They also have extra heroes (Blue Senturion, Magna Defender, Shadow Ranger, Lauren) but excluded some that were in Gokaiger (Kat Ranger, White Mystic Ranger, Sentinel Knight, Wolf Warrior, Dai Shi, and Camile).

Now since the Battle Ready Figures seem not to be part of the Super Megaforce line this time, I think the Ranger Key Blind Pack will be replacing that. For fans not knowing what Battle Ready figures are, they are chibi figures that started with Samurai but with Megaforce, they come with cards. There are 3 series, the third series hasn't come out yet. The second series I have not seen in stores. Anyway 12 figures came with each series. With Megaforce, 6 were regular Megaforce, 2 were transparent and four were MMPR. 

 There is seven more IDs for the Ranger Key multipacks: 38265, 38266, 38267, 38268, 38269, 38278 and 38279. So the Seasons missing are Alien Rangers, Dino Thunder, Operation Overdrive, Jungle Fury and RPM. That leaves two more that could be Sixth Rangers or something else. Razzle says he suspects there will be 29 in total. My guess for the colors would be:

1. Alien Rangers: Red, Blue, Black
2. Dino Thunder: Red, Blue, Yellow (Ended up being Black instead of Yellow)
3. Operation Overdrive: Red, Blue, Black
4. Jungle Fury: Red, Blue, Yellow
5. RPM: Red, Blue, Yellow
