Well... he's tall. I'm just curious if he's hyperactive so he can match the suit scenes. Though considering Episode 3, I don't think Saban cares.
And yeah, that picture does look like a CW show. I bet if you took that picture and showed it to random people in the streets, they would never guess Power Rangers (unless they actually know and watch the show, but that's a fairly small chance).

He looks like someone. Someone from TV or film.
Either way, pretty hot. Not seeing how they're going to tie that to Gai's more outlandish motions, but I'll give Saban a chance to surprise me.

I count Dekabase robo as a "HQ" mecha than a carrier mecha, which is very rare. I think Fiveman was the other one that did that, and another Sentai.
And did Carrygator carry anything?

a highschool drama series that takes place in canada? yup

betting silver is the stud of the school... but actually is a closet nerd that always wanted to be a power ranger!
Changeman's Shuttle Base Had the hero's vehicles inside it, and if I remember correctly, it was mostly just an automated carrier. The actual base was somewhere in the mountains. They had to call in Base Shuttle and, after it landed, they had to fucking RUN TOWARDS IT, get in, and get out with the vehicles, so they could form the mecha. So we have sufficient artificial intelligence to pilot this massive ship, but not enough to make the actual fighting ships leave it (I think they eventually did leave by themselves).
Flashman's Star Condor had the robot parts inside them,
I think they fall into the "carrier" category you speak of. They even both have specific BGM for their appearances. Star Condor BGM theme was pretty dope, and their robot (Flash King) theme would even mention it.
Flashman's Flash King was quite normal:
However, TItan Jr evolved form (Gran Titan? Titan Flash? I never figured that one out) was just a hulking piece of metal that would only lower it's arms and fire a rainbow beam out of its triangle chest gem:

Oh those count as carrier yeah. But the Dekabase doesn't because technically the Dekaranger mech parts tend not to be "carried" into action.
One of the behind-the-scenes videos where Power Rangers actually brings up the original Sentai.
Albeit with some inaccuracies.
"A popular program called Gorangers. Like the Power Rangers, the Gorangers evolved and eventually became Zyurangers" ... What?

I would love to see the supposed "Bio-Man" pilot Saban made.
Ha, that Goranger part was surreal.
They're just saying their names and the subtitles say otherwise.
Wow, they were trying to get Sentai on American airwaves since the mid 80's? I guess Saban knew the huge potential for the Power Rangers. Maybe...

Super Megaforce 04
Alright episode.
It sucks they didn't get anyone from Wild Force to reprise their role.
It was nice to see some original footage (Wild Force Legendary Morph on Animaria). Though their way of getting around showing Jetman was... implausible. We'll just survive a giant fall from the sky! What, no Gosei to chime in saying they have new powers again?
Also, hi random Japanese citizens during the Earth fight scene.
I keep forgetting that Tensou exists. Why is he around again? Oh right, Alpha 5 nostalgia.

Hey, they never said where they landed
I thought it was a pretty good episode overall. A nice chunk of original footage, too.

So like when are they going to morph into MMPR. I expected that to be like the first thing they did.
If we go by Gokaiger footage, the first Zyuranger morph was in the Shinkenger tribute.
If we go by the Super Megaforce episode titles, that should be... next week.
But yeah, wasted opportunity in the first episode by not shooting new footage of an MMPR Legendary Morph. It would have really drawn people in, instead of morphing into Samurai.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
It was definitely best to start with Samurai. But like, shoehorn in Dairanger before having MMPR is dumb
Super Megaforce
This episode was really good. Loved the original fight scenes. Them demorhing to MegaForce mode when they fell from the Animaria was stupid though.
I'm pretty sure he's an alien from another planet.

Fair enough, always for the kids. Even though they also try to nostalgia-bait at the same time. So confusing.
Yeah, I didn't get the point of the Legendary Black part. They morph into three Black Rangers, then they have the battle offscreen. I know the Gokaiger context, but here it only baffles me.
Also, found this picture.
Dat digital editing.

Motor vehicles disappeared because action figures sales lost importance in Sentai's toyline. Nowadays, almost every equipment Sentai get is either for the mecha or things that can be used as roleplay toys. The vehicles fit in neither class, and so were mostly forgotten.
I don't think the crossovers have much to do with it. Past mecha rarely seem to appear there, aside from the Vs movies, and they could put both teams in a single mecha there. The real reason it won't happen is toy sales.
Like said above, for Sentai, action figures of the actual Sentai members are a fairly minor part of the toyline nowadays - to the point that, for example, Kyoryuger's toyguide for the 1st quarter didn't feature KyoryuCyan at all. The toyguide had his batteries and mecha, but they had nothing for the actual KyoryuCyan and so his existence was a surprise. Cyan, Gray and Violet had no part in the main toyline due to how disinterested Bandai is in pushing action figures. Of course, later they got keys and other things, but that's already merchandising for fans, not the ones that are advertised on tv right alongside their debut.
The lack of importance (and sales) of Sentai action figures is why vehicles mostly disappeared too and we started getting more and more mecha to replace them. Bandai likely doesn't have much interest to fix that either since Rider's toyline is filling that niche recently - and Sentai likely would need to be heavily redesigned to get an actual action figure push. You can't have something like Gaim's swappable armor or OOO's combining system with primarily spandex based designs.
We aren't really getting "all mecha combine" anymore like we got with Go-onger and the shows right after it though. The main issue is just that the mecha suits in general seem very bulky nowadays. They don't seem to be designed for mobility at all.

Would love for more gobuster style show where mecha stuff had thought put into. Each form has a use and the fights don't feel like a throwaway part of the eps.

Apparently Goseiger and Gokaiger had music videos too. Are they as boring as this one and if not can you link me to it

Hey, that lady is jamming on the drums. They should make her ToQ 7.
EDIT: After watching the other two, this looks like their best effort. Hell, it actually looks like a real music video.

After all these years, Faiz and Kabuto are still the best. Designs and finishers.
I forgot how weird Hibiki was. And Joker Extreme is the worst Rider Kick, in one of the best shows. Shame.
That's very good of them, I don't have to wade through shitty quality videos with Linkin Park anymore.

Kinda sucks that they didn't use the version of X Rider where he spins in midair with his pole before a kick.
Also Rider Spin (the one where 1 and 2 run around against Shocker Riders) is the weirdest.

OK, I've just finished Faiz. Pick a new series for me to watch. I'm currently watching Gaim and Black, and I've seen Kuuga, Agito, Kabuto, Decade, W, OOO and Fourze.
OOO aired on my local TV and what they did to TaToBa was, um.
I will of course personally say Hibiki, but I think some people here will recommend Den-O and it's not a bad choice.

Now I'm curious if our local dub will alter TaToBa too when it reaches it (I think it last saw Kiva). Tagalog of hawk is lawin, tiger is tigre, and grasshopper is tipaklong... LaTiPa

Kabuto finisher looked nice, how he's all cool about it and such.
I wonder if the series is any good.
It starts out really good. I personally think it becomes nonsense later on though.

That's about any show that try's to do a coherent story of 50 eps.
Is that Kusaka? He looks so different.

Nah, I've seen plenty of Rider shows do it well. W and Fourze did it really well, for instance; and Den-O would have done it very well as well if they hadn't felt the need to add an unnecessary final boss. Sentai also tends to do it well as well, and they are usually longer than Rider shows.
