Power Rangers Beast Morphers - Finders Keepers - Episode Review




 Summary:

The Rangers are separated looking for Ryjack's ship and Zoe stumbles upon it. Everyone heads for her location. An intruder is heading for it and Zoe is asked to stop and wait. She doesn't and tries entering the ship. The ship self destructs and flings her down. Scrozzle tells the other villains and Evox sends Roxy and Blaze. Scrozzle gives them the device to bring villains back from weapons. Zoe is knocked out. Roxy and Blaze finds Snide's sword and reanimize him, telling him they are his new best friends. They see Zoe and sneak away. Zoe wakes up and spots Keeper, thinking he is an intruder. She finds a Compliance Collar and swings it on Keeper. The other Rangers arrive and Ravi and Nate recognize him as Keeper. The Rangers pick up villain weapons. They put Keeper in a truck, the Vivix steal it, and drive away. 

The main three morph. Red heys pm Cruise and races towards the truck. A portal opens and the Dino Charge Rangers (Red, Blue, Black, and Gold) appear. They head for the truck when Vivix and Triptoids appear. The two teams fight Vivix, Putties, and Triptoids. Snide opens the truck and gets Keeper to follow them. Ravi and Tyler spot this but it is too late. The baddies teleport away. In the evil base, Blaze says Keeper must have knowledge about them. Keeper talks about the Energems. At the good base, Tyler says Keeper was trying to get the evil weapons so they wouldn't fall in wrong heads. Everyone accuses Zoey and she apologizes. Koda says they should work together. Back at the evil base, Evox takes Keeper's staff and says he needs the Energems. Snide says he can plan a trap with Keeper as bait. Back at Gridforce, Evox tells them they will give Keeper if they give the evil weapon. Commander Shaw agrees, saying she knows too much. Tyler says Keeper is their top priority. 

The Rangers got the weapons in a case and go into a warehouse. Snide, Scrozzle, and Keeper walk in. Scrozzle checks the box and sees the weapons. Snide breaks the deal. Scrozzle teleports away with the weapons. The two Ranger teams morph. Shaw tells them of a Gigadrone. The Dino Charge Rangers fight Snide. Tyler calls Shelby and Riley who come from a portal. The Beast Morpher rangers go fight the Gigadrone. The DC rangers fight Snide. Tyler goes Supercharge mode. The Rangers does the Victory charge and final strike. Evox watches and Scorzzle brings back Sledge, who reacts as if there was a bomb. Evox wants Energems, which Sledge agrees. Scrozzle brings back his crew. A Gigadrone drains Morph-X whem the zords arrive.  Wreckerzord and Beast X Megazord are formed. They fight the Gigadrone. They destroy the Gigadrone.

Sledge returns and Koda says they destroyed him twice. The crew (Fury, Poisandra, Curio and Wrench) fight them. They take down the Rangers. Before the crew can steal the Energems, the BM Rangers arrive and fire at Sledge. They rescue Keeper and retreat. Sledge and Snide argue over whose fault this is before they all teleport back to the Crystal Dimension. At Grid Battleforce, Nate and Zoey remove the compliance collar off of Keeper, who has no memory of what happened when he was Evox’s prisoner. Despite that, Zoey promises that the Beast Morphers Rangers can handle this new threat. The Dino Charge Rangers and Keeper say their goodbyes as they leave to their own dimensions, with Keeper forgiving Zoey for putting the compliance collar onto him. After their new friends leave, Commander Shaw reminds them that Evox might have obtained valuable intel from Keeper, and with Ryjack’s relics in his hands, the Rangers must be on their guard.

Review:

I don't like how this looks for the Beast Morpher Rangers. First, the Rangers attack Chaku, not knowing he was a good guy and now Zoey throws a collar on Keeper. Do they have no eyes for the good guys? Keeper is clearly not a creeper, big or formidable. And which villain would be in solid silver? Well, some monsters come to mind. Never mind. Anyways, it was good to see four of the Dino Charge Rangers. Fans have their theories on why Riley and Shelby did not return. But at least we got some of them. I know those four (Brennan, Yoshi, James and Davi) are always game to return. Funny enough, they said they were there for a convention and tried to throw us off the scent. Why everything has to be a secret? Fans will always find out.  Word from Brennan Mejia is that Michael Taber and Camila Hyde did reprise their voices but were uncredited.

Power Rangers Beast Morphers - The Greater Good - Episode Review

 Summary:
Chaku misses Ryjack stealing Morph-X. Apparently, he has been doing this for weeks. Scrozzle is happy about using Ryjack and Evok's plan is to betray him and take the Ranger weapons for himself. Commander Shaw asks Chaku if he would like to join the team, he hesitates but ultimately agrees. Ben and Betty play with a killer plant and get ooze squirted on them. Nate then stumbles upon Chaku speaking to his daughter Starlight. He later tattles to the other Rangers and they are surprised to hear he is a father and that his daughter is human. Chaku and the Morphed Rangers fight Ryjack and Ryjack escapes. Nate tells Chaku he overheard about his daughter and said he saw she misses him, explaining his parents work oversea and wish they visit more often. Chaku says it is not that simple.


He takes off his helmet and show he is cybernetic and took away the father his daughter remembers. Nate thinks she will accept him. Chaku says he serves the greater good now and that is all that matters. He leaves. Back with the villains, Ryjack wants to fight the Rangers. Evox and the others think he won't last long. Ryjack leaves and the Grid Battleforce scanners spot him. The Rangers morph. Ryjack takes a device from Andrasia and grows big. (Remember monsters don't grow in this season.) Scrozzle appears and takes a device. The Rangers form the Beast X Ultrazord. The sky becomes dark.

The Rangers fight Ryjack. He lifts them in the air and they crash. He shocks them with lightning. The Ultrazord needs to be rebooted. Chaku summons Reptilobeast from a space ship. He climbs on top of it and the beast shoots fire. It flies around and screeches. The Rangers are ready and continue fighting with Ryjack. They jump once Ryjack rams them and they shoot him. They slam him when they land. Devon gets the Blaster and they do an ultra strike. Ryjack is destroyed. The sky returns to normal. Back at the base, Chaku can retire and wants to be with Grid Battleforce. Nate has a gift for him. Shaw says he is a special case. They go to the lab where they opened the gate. They have the DNA machine to make Power Rangers, they adjusted it to make him fully human again. Shaw tells him he can be a dad again. He doesn't know what to say. He takes off his helmet and enters the device. He becomes fully human and he thanks them. He hugs Nate and asks if he could something for them. Steel wants Replitobeast. Chaku says it is Galaxy Police property. He salutes them and teleports away. Later, Ben and Betty keep the alien plant. They feed it garbage and spits out recyclables and vomit. They receive a message from him and his daughter Starlight. Starlight says thank you.



Review:
I'm sorry but I don't like the character of Nate. The actor is fine and nothing against him. The character comes off rude by overhearing things, jumping to conclusions, being judgemental, and budding in to things that not deal with him. Sure, he says he is a good guy but he comes off pretentious. I especially do not like he's judgmental ness and feelings about Ravi lying. It is not what he believes but in the manner he proceeds to do so. Sure he helps Chaku but comes off very annoying. In Spanish, a word "Lloron" means a crybaby and Nate comes off as a big llorn, complaining about being abandoned by his parents, when we never see him do an effort to call his parents or trying to visit them.

Power Rangers Pulsecon Reveals

 So I watched the whole Pulsecon on Power Rangers. 

The biggest news was Dino Fury cast, only 3 Rangers were revealed. Russell Curry as Red, Kai Moya as Ollie/Blue, and Hunter Deno as Amelia/Pink, these were of the six Illumerdi revealed so the other tree could be correct.

Toy News:

The Zeo Megazord we already knew about. It is heavy and has a big box and removable helmets, wings and belt. 


Connor, Tommy and Z-Putty for the next wave. They will have exclusive boxes for Target, exclusive for Target are the only boxes. White Ranger will also get an exclusive Target box.





Auto-Morphin Figures, Retro Figures will be Walmart exclusives. Wave One is Red, Black, Pink and Blue. Green and Yellow coming soon. The weapons combine. 

New Monsters line


Pumpkin Rapper and King Sphinx, in Pulsecon they did a poll to see which monster should the Megazord take down and Sphinx won.


Part of the Versus Sets is Astronema and Andros

Also Sky Blue B-Squad Vs A-Squad Ranger, no Beevor head.

And Pulse exclusive is Metallic Armor Pink Ranger with Kat head sculpt. From what I understood she has a new lightning effect and bow. 

My question was showcased, twice. My YouTube is Hodgepodges and  my first question was "Will we have transforming Lightning Collection Megazords?" And the answer was with lava coming out of a volcano, soon things are coming. My second was in the Beast Morphers panel, I asked if Colby liked his Lightning Figure and he said he has it by his bed.

I liked the reveals. I am excited about SPD B-Squad vs A-Squad, the monsters and the Zeo Megazord.

Power Rangers Beast Morphers - Intruder Alert - Episode Review

 Summary:
Nate decodes a message from deep space about a villain named Ryjack. The Rangers are on alert. An alien is detected and they go check it out. They see a shiny silver robot-like figure near Morph-X and think it is the villain. They stop him from getting a device. They get the device and head back. Evox is out of Morph X and needs it. The real Ryjack arrives and collects weapons. He wants to steal Power Rangers weapons. He wants to work together/ Evox wants the Rangers destroyed first. Evox gives him the blaster of Vargoyle and makes a robot clone that will obey him with a compliance collar.  They disappear. Evox wants to get rid of him and steal his weapons afterward. Betty and Ben get caught in their own booby trap for the security vault. 


The Rangers tend to Betty and Ben. Nate and Steel arrive saying the vault alarm went off. The mysterious stranger gets his device and sneaks out. He is apprehended by the Rangers and Nate gets the device. They lock him into detention and go to the monster alert. Ryjack and Vargoyle are stealing Morph-X. They recognize Vargoyle The Rangers arrive. The rangers realize they have the wrong alien. Ryjack brings back Putties and Vivicks. The civilians fight the Putties and Viviks. Steel asks who they are and Ryjack says the Rangers fought them for years. The Rangers morph and fight. They use their powers and Ryjack does and hurts Zoey and Ravi. The Rangers run off. They tend to Zoey and Ravi in the sick bay as they have an infection. Steel plays with the mysterious stranger's weapon. Shaw tells Nate and Devon to communicate with the stranger. The stranger seems ill and needs the device. They give it to him and he recharges. Captain Chaku changes his translator and tells them he is part of galactic police and he is the good guy and why they attacked him. Nate says they didn't know. (What he doesn't know can fill a vault) They apologize.

Chaku says he lost power after following Ryjack through seven Galaxies. Chaku says their friends won't last long if they were hit by Ryjack's horn. He checks the two and says they must be treated. He uses a digital liquid. Blaze and Roxy arrive and are surprised by the news. Ryjack wants to know about the base. Evox tells them to send Vargoyle and tells Scrozzle to send a Gigadrone. Vargoyle leaves. Ryjack boasts. Back with Nate, their condition is improving. Vargoyle and Gigadrone are detected, Devon and Chaku are sent against Vargoyle while the brothers take the zords against the Gigadrone. Devon and Chaku fight Tronics and Vargoyle. His compliance collar is taken off and tries leaving but he's out of Morph-X. 

Galactic Inceptor, Chaku's cycle is called and Devon uses Cruise as a cycle. Vargoyle blasts at them with his motorcycle. Devon kicks him and Chaku tackles him down. Chaku and Vargoyle duel and then Devon gets in. Devon is taken down and Chaky avoids blasts and hits Vargyoyle's weapon. Devon and Chaku finish him off. Striker Megazord is formed. Gigadrone is destroyed. Ravi and Zoey wake up okay. Nate introduces Chaku. Zoey and Ravi thanks them. They have a lesson to not judge a book by its cover. Chaku still needs to defeat Ryjack. Ben and Betty have a new thief trap that actually works and traps Chaku and the Rangers who don't have security cards that the device needs. Shaw tells them they did a great job.

Review:

Space Sheriff Gavan came out in 1992, part of the Metal Heroes label. To give you some perspective, Speilban was one of the Space Sheriff series and his footage was used for VR Troopers. The Meta Heroes have had revival movies since 2012, which are occasionally crosspromoted in Sentai. Chaku is Gavan New Type, who was introduced in Go-Busters and continued in Gavan movies and Taisen movies. "Chaku" is part of Gavan's morph call. I think it was a good episode and of course, this is the first of two parts of Chaku's adventure. Out of the episodes including Metal Heroes (like Skyfire in Ninja Steel), this has to be the better one. I'm looking forward to the other ones.

Power Rangers Beast Morphers - The Evok Snare - Episode Review

 Summary:


The Rangers cut the Morph X energy supply and have an arrow to take him down. It will be launch with the Beast-X Blaster, a combo of a couple weapons. Zoey shows it off and freezes Berry's dad's wedding tuxedo in ice. Ben tries breaking it open with no avail. Nate hasn't figured out how to separate his dad out. Devon is concerned. Nate says he has been working hard. Devon leaves, saying he will find a way. Scrozzle is concerned, Evox wants Roxy and Blaze to get more Morph-X.

Devon looks through newspaper articles and finds one with his dad and him. Cruise brings more Ranger records. Ravi asks Devon and he found info on a Black Ranger that had a virus and tries to get a response from Dr. K. Bulldozertron arrives and the Rangers morph and fight. Blaze and Roxy morph and fight Gold and Silver. The trio power up. Ravi goes to help the others while Red and Yellow defeat the Bulldozer. Gold and Silver fall down and the bad guys leave with Morph-X. Silver blows up the tanker with the bad guys. Commander Shaw arrives says the last tower was able to be drained and it will be left unguarded. Scrozzle hears this. It was bait, Yellow hears this. 

A Gigadrone is sent to Tower 5 and they get a new interdimensional call. They figure the call is from Dr K. Devon and Nate go to the base with Shaw. The others form the zords to make a new combo: Beast X Ultrazord. They destroy the Gigadrone. Dr. K talks technobabble to Devon, saying her tech can not help. What happened was different. She thinks about something she read about Doomwing and Zenowing and made Split Emitters. Devon returns to the gang. They figure Evox will show up at Tower 5. Devon asks about the old Ranger tech in Nate's vault. He says he may have Split Emitters. Shaw tells them to go. Nate gives Devon Morph-X and asks for their help. They enter the vault and find random Ranger tech. Betty finds Split Emitters and they take them. 


The others wait at Tower 5. Evox arrives, growls and can barely move. Nate has the bow and shoots towards Evox but Evox stops it. He throws it towards them. They jump back at the ice attack. Evox is stopped by Devon. Mayor Daniels appears and tells Devon to let Evox pass. He says he will be destroyed. Ravi says it isn't his real dad talking. The Rangers try to deter Devon. Devon puts down his weapon and smirks. Ben tells him he's ready. Devon says transport and the split emitters split the Mayor and Evox apart. Devon goes to his dad. They hug. Scrozzle come to Evox. Evox says he is needs Morph-X. They teleport away. Later, Shaw recharge the towers and Morph-X is back to energize the city. Shaw asks Mayor what he might know. He says his last memory is the explosion in the portal (end of season 1). Nate tells him it was all Devon. Betty and Ben use the split emitters to take their dad's tuxedo out, they accidentally get their dad trapped in there and then Ben. Devon saves the day by getting them all out.

Review:
A pretty good episode and great to see Dr. K back. But a little unbelievable that the past Rangers would let Grid Battleforce even get their old tech, let alone their morphers. Even unbelievable that Dr. K would let them have the Cell Shift Morphers. Fans were also discussing how they could have SPD tech if SPD takes place in 2025. For me, the crew just put random tech for fun without thinking of why and how. Also, it would've made more sense if the Dino Charge Rangers had the Split Emitters and not Grid Battleforce. Given what happens in later episodes, I guess it is all out of the window in terms of logic.

Dino Fury and Lighting Collection Rumors

  Here are the latest rumors. The first batch is about the upcoming season of Power Rangers Dino Fury to start shooting soon and premiere in early 2021. The exact date is up in the air. Illumerdi has report that the cast is of five, three are male, and two are female. 

https://twitter.com/MegaPowerBrasil is responsible for this pic


https://www.theilluminerdi.com/2020/09/08/dino-fury-cast-revealed/

Russell Curry, Hunter Deno, Kai Moya, Alexandria Nuñez, and Chance Perez. The colors are unknown right now. Most people have supposed Kai is Black Ranger, Russell is Blue, Chance is red, Alexandria is green and Hunter is Pink. With Alexandria being a second female and there only being one female in Ryusoulger, fans have supposed green will become female much like the male Yellow Rangers became male in the past: Mighty Morphin, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force and Wild Force respectively. This would be a welcomed change but it is unknown if this is official at this point.


As for Lightning Collection, No Pink Spandex has reported rumors for upcoming sets. The sets sound exciting and hope they are true.

Villains King Sphinx and Pumpkin Rapper, monsters from Mighty Morphin. They are called Deluxe villains and are to be retailed at $29.99. I was hoping for monsters. My friend who is a toy collector was hoping for monsters too.

Two-Pack of Andros and Astronema, also retailed at $29.99. I hope the sculpt for Astronema is better than her model design for Legacy War game and the Rita sculpt. The Rita was great and hope for more. 

Two-Pack of SPD A-Squad and B-Squad, when I first read this I thought it would be all 1o rangers but then I saw two-pack. No Pink Spandex thinks it will be just one color. I am hoping for Red. In the Power Rangers SPD canon, there were three red rangers for B-Squad. The first was Jack, then Sky at the end of SPD series and Bridge in Once A Ranger special. Since a Jack figure is already released, I assume it might be Sky. As for A-Squad, the most well known A-Squad Ranger is Red and Charlie, the first female Red Ranger. She is the first evil one and since Lauren, she is not counted as a female Red Ranger proper by fans but rather a secondary female Red Ranger. As fans know, A-Squad are not Japanese in origin but American made. The helmets are based on In Space.


UPDATE 9/10/20

Power Rangers Twitter says the cast of Beast Morphers is reuniting at PulseCon on September 26th for PulseCon. Tune in for behind the scenes stories, a live Q&A, never before seen footage, and a historic announcement. Comic Book Now believes the historic announcement has to do with the Dino Fury cast.
