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:

  • Jason David Frank as Tommy, the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger
  • Selwyn Ward as TJ, the In Space Blue Ranger
  • Patricia Ja Lee as Cassie, the In Space Pink Ranger
  • Danny Slavin as Leo, the Lost Galaxy Red Ranger
  • Reggie Rolle as Damon, the Lost Galaxy Green Ranger
  • Melody Perkins as Karone, the Lost Galaxy Pink Ranger
  • Sean CW Johnson as Carter, the Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger
  • Alison MacInnis as Dana, the Lightspeed Rescue Pink Ranger
  • Jason Faunt as Wes, the Time Force Red Ranger
  • Hector David Jr. as Mike, the Green Samurai Ranger
  • Brittany Pirtle as Emily, the Yellow Samurai Ranger

One last time … Go Go Megaforce!

That time of year has rolled around once again! It’s the second annual Titanium Ranger Day! October 28th 2013 started it all when our good friend Fury Diamond of Rangercrew got together with Bandai Cards to help promote the Titanium Ranger with the official reveal of his Power Rangers ACG Card and a live chat with his actor Rhett Fisher! 

What began as a simple day of appreciation for the character has grown to be much more than that. Not only did Titanium Ranger make his way into the ACG with his own card, but he was 1 of the final 5 rangers selected in the Morphin Madness competition,  he was recently featured in an exclusive Power Morphicon 2014 Ranger Key Pack, had a 5″ Super Megaforce Legendary Ranger figure produced of him, AND made it into the finale of Power Ranger Super Megaforce with the returning Legendary Rangers!

As the first ranger ever to be solely featured in Power Rangers (Lightspeed Rescue) with no sentai counterpart for his basis, Titanium Ranger is one of the most unique creations in the entire Power Rangers franchise. Appreciation for the Titanium Ranger & the actor who portrayed him, Rhett Fisher, has been on the rise for years now and it can’t be any coincidence that the character has gotten so much love this year alone at the height of the Power Rangers recent 25th anniversary. And we here at TokuNation are proud to celebrate another Titanium Ranger Day!

With the hiatus over and episodes coming out weekly, it’s time to return to the usual mid-week preview clips of upcoming episodes of Power Rangers Super Megaforce. The next episode, titled “Love Is In the Air”, features the villain Levira falling victim to a love portion, causing her to fall in love with the Green Super Megaforce Ranger Jake. The preview clip shows Noah, the Blue Super Megaforce Ranger, being ignored by the X-Borgs as they focus their attacks on Jake, who is to be captured and brought to Levira.

Talkin Toku is back!

After nearly 2 months since the last episode with your regular hosts, the boys of Talkin Toku return! Join Kickback, Den-O, and Sentai Tamashii in the all new, all different, all unedited and uncensored Talkin Toku!

Since the last full episode, Kickback and Den-O have gone to San Diego Comic Con, and Kickback then went to Power Morphicon. Listen to his reactions to the overall convention as we talk the good, the bad, and the ugly! Special shout-outs to some good friends made over the weekend – Dan’s Toku Rants, the Toku Ladies Podcast, Zeron Xepher, and Shukuen Shinobi, as well as the guys from Ranger Command Power Hour.

We also discuss some of the latest collectibles that have come out that we’ve purchased – S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryugen and S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gridon – as well as discuss a lot of the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge toys and information from Power Morphicon to the present – including the rumor that Saban Brands isn’t interested in adapting Ressha Sentai ToQGer!

There’s also some brief discussion on Kamen Rider Drive – our hopes and our fears – as well as whether or not we’re going to go “all in” on the merchandise like we did with Kamen Rider Gaim (and have loved every wallet-draining moment).

Finally – it’s Gaim Time. The boys discuss everything so far in Kamen Rider Gaim up through episode 43 including some of the parallels that the show has with some other Hesei era Kamen Rider shows (spoilers right there). Will Micchy redeem himself? And do we want Micchy to redeem himself? And just who – and what – is Kamen Rider Jam? And our thoughts on whether or not the show ends on Episode 46 (the final episode written by Gen Urobuchi) or if it ends on Episode 47 (the rumored Kamen Rider Drive hand-off episode featuring Kamen Rider Jam).

Also – we want to give you guys free stuff. So we’re going to come up with ways to get free stuff, including the convention exclusive Super Megaforce Red Ranger key as well as a Mighty Morphin Green Ranger translucent key, and more importantly, an entire set of Season 2 S.H. Figuarts Akibarangers. Stay tuned for that and throw some suggestions out in our discussion thread! Check out the episode directly linked to this post below! (NOTE: You have to push play!)

See you in a couple of weeks!

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!
