About a month ago Tokunation.com brought you the rumors of 10 Zyudenryu mecha that would appear in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. Today we bring you a new set of rumors about the rangers that may have been partnered with those other mecha!

According to information posted at AlphaHeroShock when Zyudenryu 06, Ankyodon, appears the spirit of his Kyoryuger will appear and grant the modern Kyoryugers his power! Ankyodons’ partner ranger is said to have been chosen 500 years ago. Named Ramirez he was the Brave of Steel, KyoryuCyan!

This would also lead us to believe that for each new mecha the Kyoryugers acquire that the spirit of a fallen hero will greet them! We know for a fact that Torin created 10 Zyudenryu when the Debos invaded Earth in ancient times. There have been unconfirmed reports of up to 23 Zyudenryu appearing! Will we get a hero for each of them?

A recent interview with new Super Sentai chief producer Takahito Ohmori gives us a few early insights into this new team, and the apparent logic behind one noticeable color choice:


…We chose to have more male characters over female characters. Seeing how modern Yellows have been female, we couldn’t have a male Yellow. If the Yellow was a male, the kids would probably think is feminine and we wanted to avoid that.

Members, do we agree with this logic? Will it possibly affect the future storytelling elements in this new series? What are your thoughts?

Our good friends over at the Rangercrew blog have uploaded some screenshots of the online Power Rangers Megaforce “Never Surrender” game, which will be playable on the Nick.com website from tomorrow!

In Never Surrender, players help their favorite rangers take on the pesky Loogies and fearsome Warstar Aliens. They can also form their own teams of two by choosing the ranger they wish to play with; from there they’ll battle their way through waves of oncoming enemies in familiar environments from the show. Each ranger has their own specialized combo attacks, augmented attacks and a team up Megaforce attack – along the way, players collect Gosei coins in order to redeem Megaforce Power Cards that grant their rangers enhanced weapon and elemental abilities.

As well as a gallery of screenshots from the game (which you can view after the jump), Rangercrew have also uploaded a promotional video which we’ve linked for you below;

Total Film has posted an exclusive look at new Pacific Rim Concept Art. The images are from the newest issue of Total Film(#204), which is out now. We’ve mirrored the images here. The rest of the concept art(along with an interview) is in the magazine itself. Here’s more info about the images:


You can see two of those exclusive pieces by Doug Williams right here. The first puts the overwhelming scale of the Jaegers into perspective, as a Russian collosus stands guard, dominating the skyline. The second features a freaky Skull Temple that’s fused with its derelict urban surroundings.
