Make your own Power Rangers Season

#1
It's pretty simple: Just write your own concept for a Power Rangers season. Goofy or serious, it's all good. Here's mine:

It was inspired a little by Gundam Wing, and the working title was Power Rangers: Seraph.

Basically, a few centuries pass and colonies planted by ships like Terra Venture on other planets have grown. Earth has figured out how to make large numbers of Power Ranger-based weapons systems, including battle suits and Zords. Not as powerful as the original ones but able to be mass-produced. They serve as a peacekeeping force for the various colony planets. However, one world was home to a civilization that also created Power Rangers long ago. Unfortunately, these Power Rangers were created as weapons of conquest by the corrupt, power hungry king of that world, and were used to forge a great empire. These Power Rangers were imprinted with all of the dark impulses of the King so that he could enslave them to his will through telepathy. It took another world's Power Rangers, the Seraph Rangers, and the united strength of several worlds to defeat them, but when they did the King unleashed a superweapon that exterminated all sentient life for lightyears around, taking all of his enemies with him. This area has several worlds suitable for human life with ancient ruins, but nobody could figure out why.

Until the governor of the colony world that was the capital of that empire, resentful at the influence of Earth and wishing he could have the power he used to have before Earth re-established contact, finds the morphers created by the Dark King long ago. Knowing about the Power Rangers, he decides to try them out-And ends up activating the Morpher of the Dark King himself. Now the Dark King reborn, he enslaves a few other citizens of the colony with the other morphers and decides that HE will rule over the Universe. The mass-produced Ranger Teams are no match against these Dark Rangers, but one member of the governor's government manages to escape with the information on the Dark King, and the Seraph Rangers who defeated him long ago.

The United Terran Worlds quickly form a taskforce to go out and find the morphers of the Seraph Rangers, in hopes of obtaining a means of defeating the Dark Rangers. This task force would operate from a starship like In Space and seek out the morphers while also trying to find more information on the Dark King and his Rangers, as well as his empire. However, the Seraph Rangers were on different worlds when the superweapon went off, and over the years some have been found and circulating around the galaxy, complicating matters. The Seraph Ranger Team would ultimately include: The sole survivor of an MP Ranger unit that went up against the Dark Rangers; a xeno-archaeologist who has been studying the Dark Empire's remains and never wanted to save the galaxy; the daughter of a freighter captain who has lived in space her whole life and is a bit naive but an expert with machines; a thief and rogue who stole his morpher and managed to keep it from being sold to the Dark King; the son of a wealthy industrialist who got the morpher for his birthday and is a kind, gentle person with an army of servants closer to him than his family; and an emotionally-stunted cyborg girl who was built by an eccentric inventor to replace his wife but chose instead to become a Power Ranger.

At first the Seraph Rangers would mostly operate alone: whether due to losing their entire unit in battle or due to the nature of their lives. The billionaire's son would decide to fight the Dark King's forces with his personal army at first, while the freighter captain's daughter would operate as a wandering superhero until both were contacted by the Seraph Task Force and brought into it. The thief would be caught and would be pressed into service fighting the Dark King's forces in exchange for a pardon under the commander of the MP Ranger survivor, and the xeno-archaeologist would have found his morpher while working for the Seraph Task Force and had to use it to keep it out of the Dark Force's hands. The cyborg girl would find the other Rangers afterwards. The Dark King would try to prevent the six Rangers from coming together by excellent use of his conventional forces (including his own citizens turned into mindless Drones) attacking multiple locations and using underworld contacts to try and find the morphers. Finally he would leave single survivors of combat units sent against him and a few survivors of worlds he ransacked to escape and demoralize his enemies. However, every so often, his children (whom he left un-mindslaved) would awaken the old parts of him, trying to soften him and keep him from going completely dark. The same thing would be for the Dark Rangers. The ultimate goal of the Dark King is conquest, and the ultimate goal of the Seraph Rangers is to stop him, hopefully before he can reactivate the Super Weapon of Old and use it, this time to only destroy those he wishes dead.

Make My Monster Grow would largely be the domain of robots, until the Dark King got nasty and started using turned humans as his monsters. This is where the Dark King would struggle with his human conscience.

Bulk and Skull would be two normal guys who worked with the Seraph Task Force who did a lot of troubleshooting and testing of captured and experimental gear, and would more often than not mess it up in hilarious ways. Hey, we need comic relief.

Overall the themes of this series would be similar to In Space and Lost Galaxy-It's a space opera, however the war focus would be a decidedly different tone for it. But it's also got a focus on humans: Our strengths, our weaknesses, and who and what we are. It would also explore the differences between the Power Rangers in their backgrounds-How does a thief relate to a billionaire's son? How does a cyborg learning how to be human relate to everyone else? How does a military leader who was the only survivor of her unit relate to an archaeologist who has been alone for most of his life due to his genius? And what of the Dark King and the Dark Rangers? Are they merely slaves to the darkness of their morphers and truly good, or are they irredeemably evil depending on who they were before?

The overall theme of this series could be summed up in one word: Humanity.

Well, one thing I felt the power Rangers always needed was a guy who WASN'T a Ranger. A Badass Normal.

Screw magical powers and the weird suit. He doesn't need it.

Experience, skill, and clever use of powerful weaponry carry him through the day.

Some one like Captain Cross, is the first thing that floats through my head, because I just finished Prototype.

Seriously this guy was a straight human, and he kicked my ass more than the Supreme Hunter did.

He didn't have the super strength of the Super Soldier characters.

He had skill, grenades, a wrist-mounted rocket launcher, and an electric stun baton. I honestly considered him the most bad-ass character in the entire game.

Well, then he got eaten by the Supreme Hunter, offscreen...

Moving on...

I'd want a character that was really fucking competent to show up, at least for a few episodes. Without him being a Ranger.

This series idea actually takes place between ôIn Spaceö and ôLost Galaxyö (since I refuse to believe that even with full government support and a full army of workers and scientist working around the clock to first reverse engineer all of that technology from AstronamaÆs ship (and all the other alien tech from the invasion.) and to then use that tech in its creation) That the building of Terra venture didnÆt take several years ) In any case Zordons sacrificial wave did its job in destroying (or altering) the active evil in the known universe. Unfortunately the wave also undid (in the case of magic users ) any spells. Bindings, wards or pocket universes they created. In the case of Master Vile it released a far far worse threat that he had had a hand in sealing away in the first place.


As it goes thousands of years before even Zordons birth, there existed race of plant based beings called the Faunatarians that at some point decided to take over the universe and make it a place where only their kind existed. To that end they would travel to a planet take on characteristics of the local plant life (in their natural state they had no real defining features other then being plant like ). After that they would lay waste to the beings living on those planets using the planets own plants against them (for monsters and foot solders (otherwise known as seedlings)) On planets with little or no plant life they used solders created on other planets and conquered them through sheer force of numbers. In this manner they managed to take over nearly a thousand planets and killed hundreds of trillions of beings.


In the end it took the combined might of Master Vile and a race of antropolymorphic bugs(the Bugarians) (the only beings in the universe that had managed to push the Faunatarians back with with out resorting to black earth like policies). Led by a team of Bugarian based rangers the Bugarian military managed to entrap the Faunatarians into a section of space where Master Vile (along with a large army of followers) sealed the Faunatarians and all their holdings an extremely large pocket universe.

Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on who you are), there were consequences to be had. For Master Vile it resulted in the loss of a great deal of his more powerful followers and the loss of a great deal of his own power (something he never really recovered from). For the Bugarians they lost a 10th of their population and due to a backlash from all the magic being thrown around the ability to use their morphers (though given that the threat had passed this wasnÆt considered a huge loss.) However a seer predicted that the Faunatarians would return in the distant future and that a species of furless mammals would need the morphers one day. To that end the morphers were preserved for the day they would be needed again.


Fast forward to 2 years after the Z Wave, With the death of Master Vile the magic keeping the Faunatarians sealed starts to weaken allowing 5 high ranking members members of the Faunatarian command structure to get free along with a small army of seedling blanks ( nearly 4000) and Dozens of monster blanks their orders are to find someway to release the vast army that waits behind the seal so that they may again lay waste to all non plant based beings. To do this they need as much pure natural magic as they can get their hands on. Their first target is the planet with one of the deepest wells of natural magic in the known universe, Earth.


Meanwhile on Bugaria a descendent of the seer who predicted the return of the Faunatarians (and fairly gifted seer herself) gets two visions the first is of the Faunatarians release and the second is of the hairless mammal that they need to give the morphers (which have been altered over the eons to work for non Bugarians)to.

Billy Cranston on his way back to Aquitar after a survey of a newly discovered habitable (by humans anyways) planet. Receives a hailing from the Bugarian homeworld and he is informed of what has happened. He is also told that while he will not be able to use any of the morphers himself he will be the one to keep the team in working order. Eventually after returning to Aquitar and saying his good byes to his lover. He returns to earth to find those who will wield the bug morphers. ( It ends up being Kimberly Hart (as the Red Wasp ranger) Eugene "Skull" Skullovitch (as the Green Mantis ranger), Tyler Harding (as the Blue Spider ranger) Anne Walker ( as the White Kabuto Beetle ranger) and Robert Walker (as the Black Atlas Beetle ranger).

The major theme of this season would be dealing Kimberly has to learn to deal with the burden of being the field leader Billy has to deal with leading a group that has 4 new rangers (one of whom made his childhood difficult) Skull and the others have to deal with the sometimes crushing responsibility that can come with being a ranger. On a lighter note during the season Skull and Kimberly start to get closer eventually forming into a full relationship sometime before seasons end (maybe half way through a 52 episode season).

Clearly, you've never ha a childhood.



I'd like to see one where there isn't a team of Rangers. Rather, the team is an amalgamation of different Ranger teams. Some are experimental morphers, others are historical artifacts, and other various backgrounds.

It would be interesting to see them try to make everything work together, and I'd be interested in seeing how they get by without a Megazord, being limited to 5 regular (but still formidable) zords.

Another option that could work would be a continuation from Turbo when the cast finished switching. The Zeonizers are still in the possessions of those rangers.

Especially when Astronema invaded the planet, they still have a lot of firepower to fight back with not to mention the possibility of whoever focused on Earth after Divatox left.

Heh.

Well, Skull being a ranger and in a relationship would go long ways to explain his missing going on the Lost Galaxy ship with Bulk and the professor just because he was sleeping. Obviously, he was sleeping because he was taking a well deserved break after finally defeating the season's bad guy.

That's happened in both Time Force with the Silver Guardians and RPM had Colonel Truman and Doctor K.
