Which bring up another point. Yes a lot of stuff is to make more toys. But my beef why waste the money on stuff that does nothing in show. If we going spend money making those suits or sets. Let's really use them to max. If it's just to make more toys and serve no need in show. Why do it at all.
Really in the past and presently. We have had countless toys for x series that wasn't in show. Be it altered weapon modes, to rangers that turn into bikes or zords. If they want more toys do that and we just have x exclusive to toy line.

We saw Shogun Mode in the final battle. It could have been a Mega Battle Armor for the Rangers to use on the ground.

Still 2 time out if how many series those cockpit modes where such a waste still. Really makes me wonder how much from plex it cost them for regular and then super season cockpit suits. That could have gone to other areas of production.

Am I the only one who doesn't find cockpit modes that bad and thinks Dino Charge-Super Ninja Steel have okay cockpits. Jungle Fury had a very bland cockpit and a similar "Ranger Movement controls the Megazord" concept minus the swords. Also Ninja Steel definitely improved on that ugly Ninninger Cockpit. I agree with you, cockpit modes are awesome and Gobusters didn't even have a team cockpit so it would be cool to see one in Beast Morphers.

Ya the original cockpits they have done been so pointless as its just a platform and them swinging a sword and that all. And such a waste of time and money on those sets and the cockpit suits that also do nothing. When those cockpit suits should have either been a team power up mode like some times had in past. Or the us made battlizer suits. That is something I hope with hasbro won't make mistake on. Bring us original battlizer and team power ups again. I would love counting if we doing 2 year thing deal or back to 1 yr deal do series to next series team ups again. Again, I've never understood why the cockpits are that bad. So what they're standing on a platform swinging a sword. That's not that bad. I really don't get why that's a big deal when seasons like Jungle Fury were just them standing in front of a bland background and moving. A sword acting to control a giant robot's attacks and its movements being controlled by the movements of its pilots (which is probably the in-show explanation for the Cockpit modes) isn't a bad concept and the whining about it just seems like an excuse to find something to criticize when there are many better things to criticize. Its not a big deal nor a bad concept. Especially when taking other season cockpits into account. As for the modes and weapons being exclusive to the Megazord (which is probably the reason behind the hate for the cockpits), yeah it kind've sucks since these designs are usually awesome and creative (though even people who agree with that would also be the first to call out Saban as not being able to be creative, in spite of all the other creative ideas sprinkled amongst some poor execution). However, the idea of suits that control the Megazord with their movement or just suits worn inside the Megazord (like Pilot uniforms in airplanes) isn't a bad concept. One also has to realize times have changed and, while Saban (and PLEX) has the money to make these modes, they might not see it as a financially positive idea to use them often because of footage. So to condense the time they appear on screen, they limit their use to something small and sensical like Pilot outfits. I myself would also very much appreciate if Hasbro can have the budget needed to make new "Ground" Battle Modes financially feasible, but I also wouldn't mind Cockpit modes as well and in addition, see all this stuff about Cockpits and Cockpit Modes as nitpicks being made into way too big of a deal. But then again, this is the fanbase who don't mind a name like Phoenix Unizord but criticize Ninja Fusion Zord for not being labelled Megazord. Phoenix Uni-Megazord anyone? No one, oh okay! Never mind! Same nitpicky, hypocritical, and nonsensical fanbase as its always been, I guess!

The Zenith Carrierzord didn't have a Megazord Mode. Just Warrior Mode. Big difference. Plus, it only partook in TWO battles.

Warrior Modes are equivalent to Megazord Modes so its not that big a difference. Though I forgot they called it Warrior Mode since I haven't seen LG in awhile. Though the battle count doesn't change a thing.

Red the problem is just that oh the set or the suits may look great and all. But in the show itself served no purpose or need. And with that ultimately a waste of time and money that could have gone to other parts of production. Plus really no reason they couldn't have used suits in other scenes. Like I said earlier if they had more to use Or the cockpit modes was old school battlizers or team power ups and we had fights with them great. But all they did was shoot them standing on a platform doing nothing.

And the Zenith Carrierzord was more like a tank with how it moved. It didn't even walk! So it wasn't a Megazord!

Hmm I don't see the point for a young ranger for concept of this series being spy type rangers and all. I expect young ranger more if we get kyuranger down the road with the kid ranger in that series.

If they're following the same sort of storyline as GoBusters then they might be using flashbacks of the rangers as kids... that would account for 'Young Ranger'. I do find it odd that they specify Male and Female for the other roles, but not 'young ranger'.

Ya that is odd and I was thinking of flashback role but wouldn't that be specify on casting call. Also did any one get the actual sides for this young ranger?

You have to remeber that a lot of people are incapable of being specific. Even when asked.
