It’s time to get Charged Up!
The opening theme song for Power Rangers Dino Charge has finally been revealed! TokuNation forum member Talyn posted the initial news of the song being revealed via the Power Rangers Dino Charge Scanner App! We’ve since gotten a bit clearer version of the song thanks to our pal Fury Diamond at Rangercrew, along with the instrumental version of the song as well! Enjoy all 3 videos below!
With thanks to Fury Diamond, check out this video of the Mighty Morphin Red Power Ranger balloon at this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!
From all of us here at TokuNation.com, we wish all of you a very safe and very happy Thanksgiving!
That was unexpected!
For a week now Power Rangers has hyped up tonight’s extended episode of “The Legendary Battle” pretty heavy across social media and even on television. And TokuNation was there to live-tweet the whole 75 minutes to you! Here’s a recap of the entire episode, which included “The Wrath” as part of the 75 minutes.
So there you have it. We probably missed an item or two, especially during “The Wrath” only because we didn’t bother to re-watch it before this special extended edition aired. So now it comes down to the big question – was this finale worth it? In this writer’s humble opinion – yes, it was. It felt like we got a fitting end to Emperor Mavro and any dialogue added for our Legendary Rangers is a win. But does it correct the flaws with Power Rangers Super Megaforce? That one we’ll leave up to you.
Linked to this news post is a new discussion thread and a new poll for this extended episode. Please take a moment to vote on it and share your thoughts. This episode will be available online in a few hours at Nick.com!
Let’s be real for a moment – who HASN’T seen the Legendary Battle finale episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce? Many of us already have – in different languages than English – and we saw it over a month ago. So this news is particularly sweet to hear – there IS an extended version of Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legendary Battle, and it will premiere on Monday, November 24th on Nick Toons from 11pm to 12:15am (this block will contain “The Wrath” as well as “Legendary Battle”). This extended version has not aired anywhere in the world and we were first made aware of it when the cast of Power Rangers Super Megaforce tweeted about doing more ADR in the last couple of weeks.
What will we see? Will we get some talking parts for those who didn’t speak? Will that picture that popped up of Astronema appear in the episode? Are we going to get another 5 minutes of Mighty Morphin Green Ranger doing kiyas? Time will tell!
This episode will be available in its entirety on Nick.com as well as the Nickelodeon Smart Phone App the following morning of Tuesday, November 25th. This information comes through our involvement with Saban Brand’s The Power Force, of which TokuNation.com is proud to have two representatives of on staff.
In a return to an age-old tradition with Power Rangers of the past, we are getting a brand new, never before seen trailer for Power Rangers Dino Charge during the finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce. With multiple tweets and Facebook shares coming from the cast of Power Rangers Dino Charge, they seem to hint at it being more than just what we saw during Power Morphicon.
Catch the season finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce tomorrow on Nickelodeon and be sure to share your thoughts and opinions on the trailer for Power Rangers Dino Charge. Will we see the cast in action? Original footage? Maybe a hint at the theme song? Sound off in discussion by clicking here!
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:

Rocket Powered Reading #3
Since they’ve been brought up this week let’s talk Craterites! These odd foes of the rangers are normally just simulations produced for training purposes, but this week sees a Simudeck malfunction bring them into reality en mass. However in the Denji Sentai Megaranger footage used to create the series these creatures, the Kunekune, were front and center as the primary footsoldiers of the Nezirejia Kingdom!
The Kunekune were deemed a bit too silly and generic to be used for the Power Rangers adaptation of Megaranger. So in much the same way the previous years villains from Carranger, the Wumpers, were dropped in favor of the Saban developed Piranhatons, the Kunekune were dropped in favor of the robotic Quantrons. Though the Kunekune made it into the show as Simudec foes nearly all footage aside from this pertaining to them was removed from In Space.
On this weeks Let’s Watch Wednesdays with Power Rangers In Space it’s time for a little turtle power! The Power Rangers are about to meet the legendary Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Plucked from their battles against the Shredder & Dragon Lord, Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, & Venus have arrived! But are they here to help the Power Rangers, or destroy them?! Despite Astronema’s meddling it won’t take long before our 10 heroes stand side by side! And this week the mysteries of Andros will also begin to unfold. On a quest to find his missing sister Karone and the monster who kidnapped her, Andros returns to his deserted homeworld KO-35. But an encounter with his old foe Ecliptor will change his plans. Will the rangers get closer to their goal of saving Zordon? Will Andros discover the truth about his past? Find out today on Power Rangers In Space!

Let’s take a look this week at one of the central villains of In Space, Dark Specter. As you may or may not have noticed by now Dark Specter bears a strong (100% identical) resemblance to another past foe of the rangers. Maligore from, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. That’s because the Maligore costume was simply reused for Dark Specter, though Specter could speak and was quoted as being substantially more powerful. At least once within the show’s continuity this resemblance was remarked upon by Divatox, who herself almost wed Maligore in the Turbo movie.
Blatant costume reuse of this nature doesn’t happen quite that much these days but it’s fun to notice. Off and on over the years various re-releases of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie have even featured the Maligore/Dark Specter image in the background of the DVD cover as well. This is itself even more odd as the central villain of that film was Ivan Ooze.

With the Command Center destroyed the Turbo Zords annihilated & the Turbo Ranger powers gone, and leaving Justin behind, TJ, Cassie, Ashley, Carlos, & Alpha rocket away from Earth in hopes of finding and rescuing Zordon…..
Now, the old enemies of the Power Rangers are gathering, a new Alliance of Evil is forming, all under the watch of Dark Specter and his evil protege Astronema. Bent on destroying Zordon there’s only one force standing in the way of this alliance, a new Red Ranger! And while our former rangers struggle to find their bearings they’ll cross paths with this new hero and form a fantastic new team, the Space Rangers! But before this fledgling team of rangers really gets off the ground they’ll have a run in with some heroes of an entirely different nature. the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Bringing back out informational segment we begin this week with some background on this series. Power Rangers In Space was the final season in what would come to be known as the “Zordon Era”. The era in which the Power Rangers derived their guidance, powers, zords, and weaponry in one form or another from this legendary mentor and his direct associates. As you’ll find out when we approach the end of this series there’s a good reason why this season marks the end of that era.
