Toei’s famous astral heroes are teaming up to teach youngsters about space history!
A special event hosted by Saitama Youth Astronomical Museum features Fourze & Gavan telling the history of Voyager 1, the spacecraft launched beyond our solar system with recordings of our world to attract the possibility of alien life.
What effects this may have on Megatron’s plans for the future of Cybertron are yet to be determined. :)

Excited for the American tokusatsu movie Pacific Rim? There’s been some interesting news lately, and we’re here to fill you in! Nothing like seeing some footage so check out the Japanese trailer:
According to NintendoLife, Yuke’s is both developing and publishing the Pacific Rim video game. No word on which consoles but considering the source is a Nintendo site, it could be for the 3DS and/or WiiU.
Thanks to I Am Rogue, we can have a look at the huge banner made for Pacific Rim!
Just a few more months until Pacific Rim hits theaters!
This just in from Jetbolt at our sister site of TFW2005.com!
Rhett Fisher, better known as Ryan the Titanium Ranger in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, was invited for a cameo role in the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce season. However, due to apparent budget constraints, Saban Brands rescinded their invitation, and Rhett Fisher will no longer be appearing in Super Megaforce.
We got this from his official tweet:
Guess who was invited to do a cameo on PR Megaforce and then un-invited the next week because of budget restrictions. #majorletdown#titaniumThis is a devastating blow to a lot of Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue fans, as the Titanium Ranger was the first USA-exclusive Power Ranger, and many wondered if the suit would make an appearance in Super Megaforce. Since the actor was uninvited, it leads us to believe the suit no longer exists.
How does this strike you? Did you want Rhett Fisher to be part of Super Megaforce? Could you care less? What’s this say about Saban Brands and just how far, or how little, they’re interested in going for this upcoming anniversary season?
DISCUSS!
Another rumor to take with a grain of salt but this comes from an individual with ties to the professional side of Erin Cahill and her career.
kalenabear from Rangerboard.com shared some information regarding the possibility of Erin Cahill, who played Jen the Pink Ranger from Power Rangers Time Force, and the possibility of her making an appearance in Power Rangers Super Megaforce:
I did not hear from the direct source yet (meeting up next week!), but another TF ranger will likely not be returning for the same reasons as Cardenas. She was only offered to be in one scene, so it wouldn’t have been worth the time & money. I think E is also filming a small indie film this month. But who knows, Faunt may pull her into it. Again, I’m just hearing this from management!So there you have it. After a few days of promising possibilities of favorites returning, two days in a row of a confirmed rejection (Steve Cardenas) and now a rumored rejection (Erin Cahill).
What do you guys think? Can Jason Faunt talk Erin Cahill in to showing up for a scene? Do you even want Erin Cahill to appear? Are you heart-broken that she may not? Voice your thoughts!

Sad news for those hoping to see the return of Rocky, who played the second Red Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the Blue Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo.
On his personal Facebook, Steve Cardenas posted the following:
The offer was too low and there’s not a lot of character development. Just basically going to be in the background as an extra. I would’ve loved to do it but I could possibly take that amount of time away from my business for that little amount of money. I’m sorry but I believe that it’s them that’s letting the fans down because they want to get away with paying too little. I hope you understand.The message was posted here.
What do you guys think? Is Steve Cardenas in the right for rejecting to appear for a cameo appearance? Or is he letting the fans down by wanting more money than Saban Brands was willing to offer? Let us know!
Thanks to raz for the heads up!It’s important to emphasize that this is FAN-MADE but it’s just too cool NOT to share with everyone. With all the rumors of past cast members returning, it’s never too early to start the hype machine and get pumped up! Check out the video below!
Special thanks to botmarley for showing us this video, and to YouTube user Riderdecade2020 for uploading (and creating?) it!
It’s been almost 2 years since Kamen Rider W’s end, and it seems as though Bandai isn’t done with Gaia Memories quite yet.
Bandai has just announced that new batch of Rider Memories is in the works. Unlike the last batch of Rider Memories that came out, instead of a Kamen Rider’s face, this time they’ll be releasing the Rider insignias plastered on the Memories, and so far the following have been announced:
