They didn't even gave an honorable mention to "True Blue to the Rescue" from In Space or a dishonorable mention to "Trakeena's Revenge" from Lightspeed Rescue
But what do you guys think about this list?

^It’s not even that bad just underwhelming in its cross over elements. The actual episode (the extended “movie version” anyways) is a lot better than the other reunion specials.
To save people the trouble of watching WatchMojo’s list
Disclaimer: Commentary is my own opinions
Worst
5. Time For Lightspeed - It’s not even that bad. Just uninspired. But points for being the first crossover to include its respective seasons 6th Rangers.
4.Once a Ranger- Should have been number 1.
3. Clash of the Red Rangers- Again not that bad. It’s probably the least insulting thing Saban Brands and Tzachor did to RPM (see In the Driver’s Seat for a real insult to RPM)
2. Shell Shocked- Are you fracking serious? This episode was AWESOME. The hate I think stems because its the Next Mutation canon but so what? The Turtles act like their 86 counterparts plus Venus (who is okay in this episode) and pretty much assumes most of viewers dont watch Next Mutation.
1. Legendary Battle- Predictable boring answer. Again not that bad of an episode.One of the best directed episodes of the season and some genuinely cool stuff. It has issues but nothing to the level of Once a Ranger
No clue how Trakeena’s Revenge didn’t make the list especially since its far worse than 4 out of the 5 that made the list
“Best”
5. Always a Chance- Yeah this episode was alright. It was nice seeing broken powers not magically fixed off screen like Forever Red and Legendary Battle
4. Thunderstorm- Well it was the only crossover the New Zealand !Disney team seemed to put any effort in
3. Reinforcements for the Future- Sure it was the second best crossover from the MMPR productions era
2. To the tenth power/power of pink- One of the only crossovers to not feel like cheap fan service
1. Forever Red- Are you frackin serious? This is the best crossover episode? The one where Serpentera is defeated by a hypocrite’s motorcycle? Where continuity screw ups are tossedoit like candy? This episode is as over praised as Legendary Battle is over critcized

I do not agree there bulb. Legendary battle was still bad episode. I rather take any past team ups over it.

It’s not good by any stretch of the imagination but its honestly more competent than say Once a Ranger. It’s best watched as the extended version though there we get the Rangers blitzing through their legendary modes against Marvo and Karone makes a direct callback to a line she said over 500 episodes ago. The biggest problem other than the general ill will Megaforce generated for itself was the great legendary battle felt tacked on. Reaaaly should of had Vrak leading the army |

Not really what I was getting at. But, interesting take away
Also I feel like making my own list now
Best
1. Shell Shocked
2. To the tenth power/Power of Pink
3. Reinforcements from the future
4. Ranger of Two Worlds
5. True Blue to the Rescue
Worst
1. Once a Ranger
2. Trakeena’s Revenge
3. In the Driver’s Seat
4. Lion Alliance
5. Forever Red
And yes I’m conting as In The Driver’s Seat and Lions Alliance as crossover as In the Driver’s Seat has the Super Megaforce Rangers gojng to the RPM universe (allegedly) and Lion’s Alliance has
them going to Animaria and meeting The Blazing Lion

I wouldn't sat that "Foreve Red" is among the worst team-ups, because the only thing that's bad about that episode was the final battle with Serpentara. Oh and the other four Wild Force rangers being excluded from the team-up episode. Now, I heard that there was an original plan to have all ten primary megazords take on Serpentara in one big-ass space battle, which is pretty awesome. But, the plan was scrapped because apparently Disney didn't even want "Forever Red" to happen because they already gave the production crew the budget for "Reinforcements from the Future" and Disney had this really dumbass mindset about why the production crew would want to promote old toys that are no longer on shelves at the time. So, apparently, the company made some arrangements with Bandai of America to have them bail out the production of the episode. Only in the condition that Bandai of America would promote a new toy for the Wild Force line-up. Hence why we got that stupid Wild Force rider aka Cole's new "Super Bike" defeating Serpentara in the final battle.
Oh, I forgot about "A Friend in Need" aka the crossover episodes between MMPR (season three) and Saban's Masked Rider. Remember that?!

Yep that's definitely what he did! Or he could just be sharing his own opinion? I know only certain people can do that nowadays, but that is what it seems like to me, |
