Hasbro hits the ground running with their new ownership of the Power Rangers toy license, confirming the next iteration of the franchise today at ToyFair!
In 2019 we can look forward to Power Rangers Beast Morphers! This new series will be an adaptation of the 2012 Super Sentai Series Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters!
A brief teaser synopsis for this series was released at the convention panel:
Set in the future, a secret agency combines a newly discovered substance called “Morph-X” with animal DNA to create the Power Rangers Beast Morphers team. The Rangers must fight off an evil sentient computer virus bent on taking over the source of all Ranger power, the Morphing Grid itself. Featuring never-before-seen leather suits and an all-new beast-themed arsenal (including dynamic new Zords), fans should get ready for a season full of secret ops and morphinominal fun.
This marks the first time Power Rangers has ever gone BACKWARDS in choosing a Super Sentai source material, and definitely opens an incredible number of possibilities for Hasbro’s use of the license.
Sadly, photography & video were not allowed at this presentation. But stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Power Rangers Beast Morphers news!
Announced at ToyFair, the next season of Power Rangers will be a Go-Busters adaptation!

Wait, really?
Busters ready goooooo
Go...Busters? This...was confirmed at ToyFair...?
I...what, really?
Well...then. Okay...
what
4-2-3-1, Let’s Go!
I’m so unbelievably happy about this. I don’t think I’ve been this excited about something Power Rangers in years.
"Set in the future, a secret agency combines a newly discovered substance called Morph-X with animal DNA to create the Beast Rangers team. Rangers must fight off an evil sentient virus bent on taking over the source of all Ranger power, the Morphin Grid itself"
OOOOH SHIT
This has gotten me torn. On one hand, this is awesome. On the other hand, what what what what what what what what what what WHAT!!!!?!!?!!?!!!!
Okay, I'm gonna break my "I don't care about Power Rangers" rule for half a second because... that's actually *really* cool. The choice to skip Go-Busters - of all things! - always struck me as bizarre. The individual Go-Busters mecha are terrific even if their combined forms are a little lackluster, and the show's gimmick leans closer to "cool" than "appeals to kids." Very, very interesting.
Also, I have to wonder whether that adaptation choice is part of why Bandai of America no longer has the toy license. Did they throw up their hands?
Go-Busters? You sure it's not Zyuogers?
EDIT: So it is Go-Busters.
