Well this is unexpected. It’s not too surprising since the news Saban Brands would no longer be working with Bandai that Kyuranger would be off the table and possibly unadaptable now in Saban’s eyes.
But I would have guessed they would have just grabbed Zyuohger. And it makes me wonder why they’re going to the oldest of their skipped sentai

C'mon. The last time we have a Team of 5, it was Jungle Fury, based in Gekiranger. And yet the producers still managed to include 3 new, original, Rangers. I don't believe it's so farfetched. No, it isn't. But, it may not likely happen unless they cut out the whole American made cockpit mode thing that Bandai had requested the show to do at the very least.

^ You said it. Bandai requested it. We don't know about the new deal. Besides Go-Busters had already Power-up modes. Probably Hasbro gonna be happy for that.

Major change has to come. New logo was one thing. But the toys are what its all about. Hasbro is about to promote the breaks out of power rangers because I believe they are about to produce a way better quality. I also believe they about to charge a little more. I see more episodes of PR, better stories and hopefully better splicing and action. I hope this is like the reset button for the franchise.

Ther’s literally no reason to think there will be more episodes or better writing just because of a different toy licensee. Especially since Nick mandates the episode count not Bandai or Hasbro or Saban Brands. You’ll see minimal changes at best

Bulb just cause they left Bandai is no reason to think kyuranger would not get adapted at all. And come on its not hard to adapt space theme easy sell and we have had many space stories before. Plenty to work with for villains. Let alone zords are not a bad design and we got 13 rangers plus all the power up modes. That is plenty to work with for a show. And for toy makers to have plenty to have in toy line and milk fans for our money.
As for kyuranger there isn't any reason it could not be adapted at all. Hell we still don't know reason why they decided to go back wards. Let alone are we doing a 2 year thing for go busters. Or if like I and some others thinking what if they are doing a short 1 season series for go busters. Then doing a 2 year adaption of kyuranger, lupin/pato, or another season. We don't have any answers.
As for if kyuranger doesn't get adapted down the road. Really only thing I said before that makes any sense for not being adapted. Is that Bandai us who we know hand a hand in creation of show and concept to have put some legal block on Saban for not being able to do it for x reason or time limit.

As for skipping we know for awhile back Saban and Toei contract changed from they have to adapt every season to they are allowed to skip if they want. Also we know Bandai us had a hand in call on skipping too. As if one series didn't perform well for Japan the company likely didn't want another failure in us market. Now, as for why they went backwards now and what not. That is more questions hopefully Saban brands will reveal in the coming months. Same as if they went backwards now would they ultimately go with Toqger, or Zyuohger afterwards. Plus is Kyuranger still a option next after that. Cause come on space theme, the orb collectibles, the weapons, zords and 13 rangers. That Def would make for a good show. And for Hasbro would give them a lot of options for toys and make a good buck from. But then like I was bringing up last night. We also have to wonder how long was Bandai being drop, Hasbro be looked at. And was also a 3 year renewal with nick a play in things changing. Then also are we still doing 2 year thing as usual. Or what if we are doing a 1 year with only 22 episodes of Go-Busters. Then the other 2 years of current deal go back to regular and super season and adapt Kyuranger or lupin/pato, or the show after that. So much unknowns. As for current deal with nick as we saw this time they went with a one year renew. So given we got 3 years vs. the normal 2 years, they been doing since samurai. There is no reason to think once current 3 year deal is up in 2021. We would likely get another deal for x number of years. I hope you are right about that.

True, but it was also a season without any sixths. It may be strange but gold and silver are considered 6ths for this one. The thing is though, those rangers also had masters to be based on and zords to match the ranger. The frog zord for green only shows up twice and it doesn't match the hippo suit. Tatugami is purple and black, so they might be able to do Black Puma. I didn't say they won't do dark buster, its just that there's not a lot of material with it.

Here is a question I was just thinking about with the team being called beast morphers. What the hell are the actual morphers going to be called. As beast morphers make a great name for any animal theme sentai morphers. But with morphers name in team name got me wondering.

[ Nobody said anything about Kyuranger being hard to adapt. That’s not the problem. But the fact that BoA had a hand in the designs made it doubtful it would get adapted with the switch over to Hasbro as the master toy licensee. With them not adapting Kyuranger and instead going back to Go Busters it’s all but confirmation that Saban Brands won’t or can’t adapt Kyuranger.

^ It's also possible that Hasbro wanted to start with a smaller toyline on their first outing into a ranger series instead of jumping in with the biggest one right out of the gate. C'mon. The last time we have a Team of 5, it was Jungle Fury, based in Gekiranger. And yet the producers still managed to include 3 new, original, Rangers. I don't believe it's so farfetched. True, but it was also a season without any sixths. It may be strange but gold and silver are considered 6ths for this one.

Tatugami is purple and black, so they might be able to do Black Puma. I didn't say they won't do dark buster, its just that there's not a lot of material with it. There might not be a lot of material, but there was even less of Male Purple in Kyoryuger and we still got that. And the same can be said for the extra reds in Ninninger. It's possible.

And bulb again just cause we are not going with it first for hasbro doesn't mean it won't get adapted later. Like power said maybe hasbro wanted to start with a smaller line get there feet wet then move to a more larger line. Also just cause Bandai did help make kyuranger. Doesn't meant Saban can't adapt that shoe. As the hey buy the rights from toei for what ever show so it's ultimately on toei hands what series Saban can buy. Again if anything with Bandai us hand in kyuranger I doubt they would not allow Saban to ever adapt it. If there is some factor and it's not that hasbro wanted a smaller start line. Only thing I could see is maybe Bandai had deal with Saban where with them splitting they couldn't adapt kyuranger first. Again bulb there is so many questions we all have. From leaving Bandai, going to hasbro, the 3 year renew with nick. I do hope we get some answers soon.

Here are my thoughts on this unexpected announcement.
Awesome! I gave up hope for Gobusters getting adapted after Ninja Steel was revealed since Chip said adapting Gobusters was being considered and more likely than ToQGer. Maybe this means there's hope for Zyuohger in the future as well. I'm glad they're skipping Kyuranger, at least for now, since I dislike the aesthetics. However, it's strange how Nick showed a picture for it.
Clearly, the recent split between Saban Brands and Bandai must have affected this decision. Bandai refused to sell merchandise for a Gobusters adaption so Saban was forced to skip it and adapt Kyoryuger instead. That's no longer a problem. This new partnership could be the start of a new era of PR where Saban has more creative liberty, starting with Beast Morphers.
Looking at the synopsis, it reminds me a little of Amit Bhaumik's Cyber Corps idea. I like the new PR logo for the upcoming season but the Energy Chasers logo for April Fools was cool as well. Maybe the new logo was inspired by the design of Saban's Power Rangers.
I have some questions though. Why would Saban choose to adapt this instead of Zyuohger? I mean, powers created from animal DNA, that could easily work for Zyuohger. Furthermore, Gobusters only has 7 zords to Zyuohger's 20! It doesn't make sense.
How are Saban going to handle the rangers? Gobusters has 5 rangers. 4 male, 1 female. Based on the standards Saban are expected to meet, they should either gender swap one or add a PR exclusive female ranger. Which leads me to my next question.
Will Saban create a PR exclusive sixth ranger? GoGo Five and Gobusters didn't have sixth rangers but Saban created their own for Lightspeed Rescue, the Titanium Ranger. Maybe they will do the same for Beast Morphers, especially since the lion zord is just begging to have its own ranger. Alternatively, they could adapt the sixth ranger of Doubutsu Sentai Gobusters, Green Hippo and make him the pilot of the frog zord.
Will the Buddyroids and Wagon get adapted? Gobusters had robots called Buddyroids that helped them as transport, repairs and detection. Stag Buster was a Buddyroid himself. Wagon was also a robot, from ToQGer. Maybe she could be adapted as a Buddyroid.
Will there be a team cockpit and cockpit power-ups? In Gobusters, there were only individual cockpits for each ranger, even when the zords were combined. Except for Mega Force and Super Mega Force, every season in the Saban Brands Era has had a unique PR exclusive team cockpit and cockpit power-ups, so will this be another exception or not? Alternatively, they could use the Doubutsu Sentai Gobusters cockpit.
Will Saban make collectibles? Gobusters had nothing to collect, no gimmick like Ninja Power Stars and Legendary Ranger Keys. Merchandise sales are important so it could be a problem.
Will Gobusters vs Gokaiger get adapted? It would be a shame to miss the opportunity for the legendary Megazord fight and a crossover with Super Mega Force using the Morphin' Grid plot to bring them together. Robo Knight could show up as well! With Sentai getting skipped, the chance for crossover adaptions was lost but now they can adapt this instead. They should consider it.

^ I don't know about Go-Busters vs Gokaiger. A couple years ago, I was thinking it was more possible to adapt Dino War, skipping the footage of the Go-Buster, only showing the Dino teams. The zord fight could be hard, in that moment, because Kyouryuzin it had the Lioh head as shield. But now, I don't know... Everything could be possible.

I doubt they end up making an all new female ranger. We have had plenty of 4 to 1 teams before along with the norm of 4 to 2. Just cause we don't have 2 female rangers. They can always have more female supporting players. As they going to be working for a agency and all. You can add more female roles there. Like the tech girl from go busters. Or maybe have a female mentor.
