More coverage is rolling in from San Diego Comic Con 2015! Just now our own Kickback and the SDCC network crew attended Saban Brand’s Entertainment’s Power Rangers Dino Charge panel! Presented below is a round up of the information from that panel as well as pictures from it!
The core cast of 5 rangers & Claire entered the panel each with their own unique spin on things, like Yoshi doing a flip & Camille punching the air. The panel began with some basic info about the actors like how this SDCC was Camille, Michael, James & Claires first ever, and how all were very excited. Everyone discussed their favorite seasons of the franchise. We got some insight into how Yoshi came from fan/stunt actor to full blown Power Ranger. Some great fun stories about each of the actors as well, like James being a terrible tour guide in his native New Zealand. The crowd and fans everywhere agree, this cast is fantastic and fun in person.
Chip Lynn along with Saban Brands Entertainment EP Brian Castatinni then took stage to assure fans that in future episodes we would see more rangers and that the joke was on us, things we thought they missed? They didn’t. According to him there are “no bad episodes this season”. Chip restated in no uncertain terms that “When this season is done, you’re going to say they were some of the best episodes of Power Rangers EVER.” The crowd was pleased and ready for more. After dashing hopes about past Dino Rangers ever returning we were treated to 2 videos. One a fall Dino Charge episodes trailer, which at last revealed it’s August 29th return date! And another which was a 2016 trailer for Dino Supercharge, the footage was actually reused from the Licensing Expo Marketing Teaser.
While we didn’t get to see the people behind the suits these video treated us to Gold, Purple, & Graphite Ranger footage! And after this 5 suit actors arrived wearing the brand new Dino Drive power up suits from Dino Supercharge!

I have to admit, I didn't know she was the first... but then again, I've seen less than half of the franchise's seasons... lol
Edit: Not as soon as I was hoping for, but it's good to know when to expect the next new episode. I'll have to marathon the first eight before it airs. Out of curiosity, does anyone know how many episodes this season will be?
Oh, and thank you for the coverage. I hope those out there at the con are able to have some fun while doing all the work needed to get info to those of us at home.

RangerCrew has uploaded the Fall Teaser to Youtube for those who missed the panel.

I have to admit, I thought they'd save purple for next year. Not dissapointed though
Makes me wonder if we'll get her zord this year, or if that's something they'll save for next year's line.
Nice panel. My biggest question though is the pic. What combination is that? It only shows Plesio on the wall though, so will they all be piloting it?
Did anyone ask if they planned, like the Super Sentai counterpart did, to have a crossover with the Mighty Morphin and Dino Thunder teams?
(Granted it was mainly only the Red Rangers of both teams in the Super Sentai movie that appeared out of costume.)
EDIT: See someone else has already questioned this above. Doh!
This was a pretty cool panel.
