With thanks to user YellowAccel from the folks at RangerCrew.com, we have some potential spoilers for the final episodes of this season’s Power Rangers Super Megaforce. For those questioning the validity, YellowAccel lives in France, and these potential spoilers are from the Canal J website – which is kind of like a Nickelodeon over there.

We will not post the spoilers on our front page – however, if you are interested in reading them, you may do so clicking here for the spoilers. What kind of spoilers do you ask? We learn, story-wise, how they will work in the use of the regular Megaforce suits while fighting Vrak as well as what role Orion the Super Megaforce Silver Ranger plays – as well as details on the return of the missing Robo Knight. We also learn a bit about Mavro, the father of both Prince Vekar and Vrak, as well as the events leading up to the finale “Legendary Battle”.

Thanks again to YellowAccel for the information. You can find his original post at RangerCrew by clicking here. Be warned – clicking the link will take you directly to his post. We have blacked out using our spoiler code on our forum so you can choose whether or not to read them.

What do you think? Join in the discussion but … of course … beware of spoilers!

During this year’s Power Force breakfast at Power Morphicon, Saban Brands recognized a group of teenagers from Florida who had taken it upon themselves to dress up as Power Rangers and team up with their community to participate in public events, anti-bullying, and do general good deeds around their city.

Our friends at HenshinJustice.com have landed an exclusive interview with the executive producer of the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge season, Judd Lynn! In the interview, Judd discusses things from how he came to become the new executive producer (replacing Jonathon Tzachor), his familiarity with the source material Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, the skipped series Go-Busters, and of course, Koichi Sakamoto.

Click here to check out the interview! Our friends online have been searching for any and all Power Rangers Dino Charge news, and speculation has the show beginning to film in October 2014 for the first 22 episode run in early 2015. We will most likely have more concrete details once next week’s Power Morphicon happens.

With the upcoming season finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, we will see the return of many cast members from previous seasons of Power Rangers, including the likes of Jason Faunt, Melody Perkins, Danny Slavin, Hector David Jr., Britney Pirtle, Patricia Lee, Reggie Rolle, Sean Johnson, Alison MacInnis, Selwyin Ward, and of course, Jason David Frank. But with the announcement of a new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie and the next series to be produced, a dinosaur themed show titled Power Rangers Dino Charge, a lot of fans have been clamoring for more Rangers to return – specifically as many of the original cast of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as possible.

And while nothing is guaranteed or promised, one can only assume that the powers of Saban Brands would not only like to keep the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the spotlight for as long as possible, but would love for an opportunity to bring back as many older fans to the franchise as possible. And the best way to do that is to bring back some of their classic heroes – and one that has been picking up steam in terms of popularity is none other than the original Red Ranger, Austin St. John.

On his official Facebook page, Austin St. John posted just the other day something that should get all the fans excited and pumped – ”IF” he were to return, would you want him in the show, the movie, and what would his role be? He specifically mentions that the powers that be are watching his page. If you want the original back to action, this is where you as a fan have to step up and take part!

Click here to see his Facebook page – be sure to “Like” it! And once you’ve done that, help spread the word to all the other Power Rangers fans out there – ”Like” and “Share” this post about his possible return! Who wouldn’t love to see Austin St. John return as the Silver Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Charge? Who says Bragigas can’t be a new Titanus? Help spread the word and let’s bring back the original Power Ranger!
