At Power Morphicon 2012, Saban Brands stated that Power Rangers Megaforce/Super Megaforce would be the largest budget spent on Power Rangers in a long, long time. They said this was the anniversary season for the fans – from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers homages galore in Power Rangers Megaforce to Legendary Rangers throughout Power Rangers Super Megaforce. Despite many personal, vocal opinions from Ranger Nation, the show continued to do what it does best – entertain children and promote toy sales. And thus, tomorrow, another series of Power Rangers comes to a close.

Tomorrow morning, Power Rangers Super Megaforce will come to a close with the episode Legendary Battle, featuring the return of previous Power Rangers including the iconic Jason David Frank as Tommy Oliver, the original Mighty Morphin Green Ranger. This marks the end of one chapter of Power Rangers and at the same time, opens a new chapter when Power Rangers Dino Charge premieres in February 2015, which is slowly becoming one of the most anticipated Power Rangers shows in recent memory, due mostly to the involvement of famed Power Rangers crew veteran Judd Lynn and an extremely likable (and open!) cast.

In case you’ve been living under a rock for the last 18 months, here’s the list of returning Power Rangers in the final episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce:

  • Jason David Frank as Tommy, the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger
  • Selwyn Ward as TJ, the In Space Blue Ranger
  • Patricia Ja Lee as Cassie, the In Space Pink Ranger
  • Danny Slavin as Leo, the Lost Galaxy Red Ranger
  • Reggie Rolle as Damon, the Lost Galaxy Green Ranger
  • Melody Perkins as Karone, the Lost Galaxy Pink Ranger
  • Sean CW Johnson as Carter, the Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger
  • Alison MacInnis as Dana, the Lightspeed Rescue Pink Ranger
  • Jason Faunt as Wes, the Time Force Red Ranger
  • Hector David Jr. as Mike, the Green Samurai Ranger
  • Brittany Pirtle as Emily, the Yellow Samurai Ranger

Check your local listings for exact times (mostly 11am local). Please join our discussion thread for the episode and vote on it, and we will share some of your responses to the episode and season as a whole at a later date.

One last time … Go Go Megaforce!

Some in the Power Rangers fan community were aware that three previous actors – Jason Faunt, Nakia Burrise, and Jessica Rey – had teamed together to be part of an internet series titled No Nerds Here. The first episode has premiered on YouTube!

The pilot episode has Jessica Rey coming to the realization that she’s not quite the star she believes she is, and her agent ends up booking her as a guest at a show titled CharacterCon celebrating the show she used to be on titled Mighty Rangers (an obviously play on Power Rangers … her season is even titled Wilderness Force, a play on Wild Force). The show is very similar to the once-popular show The Office, in which the camera cuts to one-on-one conversations with our actors periodically throughout the show.

All in all, the pilot episode was pretty entertaining, especially if you’ve gone to conventions and face-palmed at some of the questions that the guests are bombarded with, as the episode pays proper homage to those types of awkward situations. There’s even an implied website/message board/fan club feud between two different groups, in reference to the numerous communities dedicated to Power Rangers. Check it out below!

Please leave your thoughts on the pilot episode in our discussion thread! Are you looking forward to a second episode? Who would you like to see featured in it? Post your thoughts and discuss away! Congrats to the crew who put the episode together!

under Power Rangers, TokuNation, TokuNation Spotlights

In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Power Rangers, we asked our users months ago to list their Top 10 Power Rangers.  We took all that information and compiled a list, based on where each user ranked each Ranger, and created the TokuNation Users’ Top 20 Power Rangers of All Time list!  And we’re winding down to the very end here as 2013 nears its finale, and we’re pleased to announce that our users voted Jason Faunt, who played Wes Collins the Red Ranger on Power Rangers Time Force as the 3rd Best Power Ranger of All Time!

When an evil mutant from the future, Ransik, escapes the year 3000 and ends up in the 21st century, a team of heroes from the future, the Power Rangers Time Force, come to the past to apprehend him. However, due to an unfortunate incident that left their Red Ranger and team leader dead, or so they believed, they were unable to unlock the Chrono Morphers as it required the DNA of their deceased leader, Alex. A man striking a very similar resemblance to Alex, Wes Collins, aids the Rangers and they realize – he’s the ancestor of their former leader, and with his DNA they could unlock the morphers. With that, Wes unlocks the morphers and becomes the Red Ranger of Power Rangers Time Force. However the Pink Ranger and acting team leader, Jen, refuses to let Wes help, and takes back his morpher. After some time and convincing, from Wes and the others, Jen gives back the morpher and Wes joins the team.

As time passed, Wes and Jen began to develop feelings for each other, though neither would admit it. Their budding relationship would play in to many episodes and continue to grow as the series progressed. It wasn’t until Wes’ father, Mr. Collins, was gravely injured that Wes would contemplate leaving the team. To top it off, the original Red Ranger for Time Force, Alex (Wes’ descendant), came to the past alive and well, and immediately took control of the team. It was at that time that the other Rangers realized how much Wes had become the leader of the team and how he genuinely cared about each of them – something Alex did not. In the end, Alex would return to the future and Wes would resume the role of the Red Ranger.

In the final battle, the other Rangers would be tricked in to going back in to the future so Wes and Eric, the Quantum Ranger, could finish the battle against Ransik on their own, as the time stream was beginning to fall apart from their presence. In the year 3000, the others would discover that in this final battle, Wes would die, but that his sacrifice saved the city and, in the end, the world and time itself. Not believing that someone’s destiny is written in to stone, the others return back to the past and aid Wes in capturing Ransik. In the end, Wes and Jen finally share their feelings for each other, and part ways.

Wes would return as the Red Ranger from Power Rangers Time Force twice – both in Power Rangers Wild Force. One was the annual team-up between the current and previous series, and the other would be for the franchise’s 10th Anniversary with the Forever Red episode. It was announced earlier this year that Wes would return again in the 20th Anniversary special episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Wes Collins is played by the popular Jason Faunt. He frequently makes the convention circuit and, speaking from personal experience, is an incredibly professional, respectable, and an all around nice guy. After Power Rangers, he took on the role of Alexander the Great for the Battleground: The Art of War series, and the same role again in Deadliest Warrior. As stated previously, Jason is reprising the role of Wes Collins the Red Ranger of Power Rangers Time Force in the special 20th Anniversary episode tribute in Power Rangers Super Megaforce, slated to air, most likely, around this time in 2014.

This is it! We’re down to the Top 2 Power Rangers based on YOUR nominations! Is this placement a bit of an upset, seeing as he beat out the original Red Ranger? Stay tuned – tomorrow we’ll announce #2, and Tuesday we’ll announce #1!
