A VERY interesting new rumor has just hit the Web!

An article in USA Today noticed by the good people at RangerCrew describes the 22nd Season of Power Rangers to begin in 2015 as “Power Rangers Dino Charge.” The story-

In Dino Charge, the Paragon Prisms were given to a dozen dinosaurs for safe keeping by an alien, but they were lost when asteroids hit the Earth and wiped out the dinos. Now in the present day, an intergalactic bounty hunter starts sniffing around Earth looking for the Prisms in order to harness their power and annihilate the world, so a team of Power Rangers forms to find the Prisms first and fight the bounty hunter and other threats with dino-powered swords, blasters, Zords (in Power Rangers lingo, large fighting machines) and Megazords

If this is indeed true it means Saban has skipped Go-Busters source footage and is moving right to Kyoryuger- which we previously heard was not allowed based on their current licensing agreement with Toei. Curiouser and curiouser…
