I've been waiting to bust this out for a while and with Dino Steel nearing its end, this feels like a perfect time to do it. Now if you've noticed with my last few games, I've made it a point to build a world that didn't involve the main PR timeline to offer something fresh and challenge myself. Plus, I noticed that with other games, there tends to be an over-reliance on established PR lore instead of letting your creative juices flow with some people that can take away from the overall quality. With that being said, I'm putting a new spin on a game originally launched in 2009 where I aim to honor the past, embrace the present, and try some new things out for the future.

This Earth has seen its fair share of battles with none bigger than the Grand Battle - an all out war to save the universe from villains across the multiverse. To that point, this earth has also seen its fair share of heroes, many of which united from different timelines to combat these evils. The grueling battle was won by the heroes of the multiverse, led by the the Dynasty Drive Rangers of this timeline after their defeat of Zeo, the deranged Eltarian. With such a war over, there were numerous casualties, many of which consisted of legendary heroes and the remaining heroes of this timeline vowed to better work together to ensure that the universe as a whole was protected and that they would never suffer losses like this ever again. To their credit, the heroes followed through on that promise, forming the Universal Heroes Alliance or UHA for short. With the UHA, heroes from across the universe would be able to coordinate with each other to keep their respective planets safer than they ever have before. For the planet Earth, Grid Battleforce was created which served as a central hub where Rangers, Riders, Troopers, Borgs, Syber Squaders or any other heroes could reach out to for help no matter where they were located. Leading the charge was the leader of Earth's branch of the UHA, legendary Ranger Commander Joey Brooks. Together with his friends, family, and comrades, the Earth remained able to fend off any enemy, sustaining peace for over 20 years.
Unfortunately for Earth, there are still villains who wish to shatter that peace and one villain has bided their time and has emerged as the greatest threat that the universe has seen in two decades. In order to combat this new threat, the Earth branch of UHA has greenlit the return of Lightning Sting, the team that put the UHA Commander on the map but instead, there will be 5 new heroes stepping up to the plate to wield the revamped legendary powers and defend the Earth against this heinous evil. For the newest team of Rangers, the pressure will be on to live up to the legends that have preceded them over the decades and protect the planet that they all hold so dear.
The groundwork for this team has already been set with JT in Dino Steel. If all goes well and there is enough interest, I hope to have the CC along with a first time ever timeline guide in the next couple of days.
