Power Rangers Alternate/Unused Logos

$

0
During pre-production, things change. Some designs may change or vary. Also with logos, sometimes the higher ups don't like it and finalize them. Sometimes they are just place holders for something better. It is unknown why some of these changes happened. There are also some logos slightly different with Wild Force, Dino Charge and Megaforce but they are minor edits so I didn't include them.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (1993-1995, 2010)
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers logo (top left) logo is the show logo. The toy and merchandise logo (top right) and the international one omitted 'Mighty Morphin' (bottom left). The 2010 "reversioned" logo for the Disney re-edited episodes.

Power Ranger Zeo
Power Rangers Zeo originally was going to be called "Zeorangers." The logo was going to be originally used on the show and used in early promotional items that public was not meant to see. The logo was also used internationally on toys and merchandise. 

Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie
It originally was going to be called "Power Rangers: Race to the Volcano," here is an early promotional from Jackie Marchand with said logo.


Power Rangers Turbo
This "Turborangers" logo was used on international toys. 

Power Rangers Ninja Storm
Same logo, just different coloring. The right logo was seen on an early promotional flyer. I like the final one (left) that has the colors of the main trio: red, yellow and light blue.


Power Rangers SPD
The original logo to right had very little color and alternate style font. I like the finalized one to the left. 

Power Rangers Mystic Force
The alternate logo to the right was used on some merchandise. I like the left finalized logo with the design in back. 

Power Rangers Jungle Fury
Similar logo but different colors and the F and Y are bigger and Jungle is in white and smaller and different font.

Power Rangers (2017)
The 2017 movie logo is silver with red highlights with bolt in center in a straight line. One of the prototypes was red and blue background with two lines and thunderbolt R and P.

A few days ago, NWay announced they would be releasing a multi-platform game that will be available for PS4, XBOX One, Nintendo Switch and Steam for PC. It will be available in April and is now available for pre-order. Many fans first thought it was a 'port' for Legacy Wars. It is a brand new game that just looks like Legacy Wars. There is no cards, there is a story mode and it is player against player online as well. 

So far the characters announced have been Red MM Ranger (Jason), Green MM Ranger (Tommy), Yellow Super Megaforce (Gia), and Lord Drakkon. Skins will be available to go over the character but aren't new characters. Skins announced have been Pink MM Ranger, Lord Drakkon final form and Evil Green Ranger. It is believed Ranger Slayer will be a playable character as well. Fans are weary if this game will be 'good' or not. I think its all subjective. So far I'm excited. I like Legacy Wars and hoped for a console game.

Review:
They should have more villains with sexy voices like Jordi Webber, it makes them more interesting.

Review:
Tzachor had his take on MMPR with Megaforce and Chip had his take on MMPR with Ninja Steel and Dean Isrealite had his take on MMPR with the 2017 movie and think Dean succeeded better. Fans liked it more. Where Tzachor and Lynn tried to imitate (with lines, music or familarity), Dean reinvented but kept the spirit.

Episode Review:
An uncomfortable episode. I don't like werewolf episodes. Also an overzealous fan episode too. I know what it is to be in Levi's position and Chaz's and it just isn't a good for either side.

Review:
Skyfire is Jiraya, a metal hero from 1988. He appeared as a guest in Ninninger because he is a ninja. This is the first time a Metal Hero guest with Power Ranger. He is the seventh Metal Hero to be adapted into English, following Speilban, Sherivan, Metalder (VR Troopers), B-Fighters, B-Fighters Kabuto (Beetleborgs) and Jansperson (Beetleborgs). 2018 is technically the 30th anniversary of Jiraya.

"Prepare to Fail"
Tynamon comes in with Badonna's favorite fighter Brax and she tells Tynamon she knows his secret. Sarah gets an A in the first half of a math test and feels her oats and doesn't study for the second half and fails. She is working on a superstar blade, Mick wants to finish it now but she ditches it to go to the movies. She learns she has to study regardless and even though the first half can be early, the end could be hard. They beat baddies easy first (Tynamon's idea to trick the Rangers) and then they are harder the second half. They fix the Super Star Blade which works with the lion star and destroy four skullgators.

Review:
It is a heavy handed episode. It is also cut-and-paste. The same thing happening in their lives and their ranger lives match but its so sloppy done. Also, the monster parts feel so lackluster and lazy. They pay attention more to the school parts. As a teacher, it is a important lesson but Sarah's acting is over the top, the cheesiness is distracting. 


"Tech Support"
Emma is Brody's student and thinks she is so good she can help the Rangers. She gets lucky and thinks she can beat them and start boasting. When the monster Typeface puts a virus in the Ranger's weapons, they blindfold Emma into the base to work on the virus. She learns her lesson that sometimes fighting can be also technical support and calls herself a tech ninja. She apologizes to Brody afterwards.

Review:
Surprisingly well done and acted. Some people were saying Sarah should have been the Green Ranger from the Ninninger special. But I think they would have negated the reason for the episode. Emma learned she didn't have to be physical in order to fight back. Showing that Brody did private training was good too in order to show that the Rangers have other things going on.

"Car Trouble"
A monster is sucking energy from cars and other things. He accidentally hits Victor and gives him electric powers that makes a Swedish spy interested in him. Calvin fixed a car and impresses a mechanic. The mechanic hires Calvin which was his dream so he quits school, which scares the others. Calvin boasts he can fix anything until he tries to fix the Lion Fire Zord and sees he can't and Mack can. He realizes he has to complete school and tells the mechanic he quits. They destroy the Monster and Victor looses his powers.

Review:
A ranger wanting to quit school is a new one but Tommy wouldn't had been far behind, having trouble with school before as well. Calvin hasn't always been the sharpest tool in the box. I don't like that these two seasons have been 'learn your lesson' episodes but this was a good one.

Preston is practicing in magic club. Vic and Monty come in, Vic wants to impress girls. Monty hypnotizes Vic into a chicken. A teacher comes in and is upset at a mess they made when a bee comes in. Preston accidentally puts the teacher to sleep and the principal comes in and she fires him. Little Tynamon is taken out of his Tynamon suit. He wants to be big. Odius tells him to bring Mick. She gives him a weapon. The Rangers practice a barrier. Preston comes in and is upset about the teacher firing. They come up with an idea to get him rehired.

Redbot says Brody's star was damaged like when Foxatron did it. He tells them Mick is missing. Preston comes in. Calvin gives Preston an idea. Principal is making copies late, when Preston hid under the secetary's desk and puts her to sleep. Calvin messes up the copy machine. Hayley stops the fired teacher and Pink gives keys to Gold. Hayley leaves and the teacher finds the principal's keys and runs in the school. He finds the mess and the principal sleeping. He wakes her up and returns her keys. She thanks him. He helps clean up. She rehires him.  The Rangers fight without Brody (and the Lion armor). Tynamon and Odius talk about the deal. Tynamon and the Rangers fight. Blue uses the lion armor and Gold goes Superstar mode (poncho).

They do a dual attack and Tynamon is defeated but he reverses it. Hayley hits him in the face to reveal he is tiny. Brody arrives. Cosmo makes him giant. The Rangers call the zords. Fusionzord is formed. They call the Ultrazord and destroy Tynamon. Mr. Lunt talks to Preston and thanks him. He offers for a place for the magic club again. Everyone celebrates. Brody says chicken and Vic becomes a chicken again. They get a calla nd got o the base. They see Mick and he says he is going to visit his family as they are sick. Mick enters Odius' base and she convince him to make a satellite system for mind control. 

Episode Review:
Teacher is fired because of magic club so that's why it is called "Magic Misfire." ha. I am a teacher and yes, we don't sleep in class but I did know a teacher who 'rest his eyes' in the teacher's lounge which is allowed. What the Rangers did was a little extreme and I hope kids don't try to imitate something similar (of course without ninja skills).

 Mick has made a satellite to mind control. Brax asks for another chance. Odius says they will be watching tv instead. Dane gives a ride to his sons to the school. They have an audition for a TV show. Calvin comes late and Hayley is upset. He had engine trouble and forgot her props. Preston doesn't help. Hayley auditions. Vic and Monty audition. It ends up being funny, getting them the audition. Hayley and Calvin have an argument. The Rangers then see the audition guy turn into a monster and kidnap Vic and Monty.

Sarah and Hayley girl-talk while the guys keeps going. Sarah tells her she is a good performer and that she was a bit over the top. Hayley realizes Calvin was right. Sarah tells him he is better than he used to be. Hayley calls Calvin, he doesn't answer her and gets hypnotized too. The Rangers find the school is locked and the hypnotized principal tells her to go home. They see Basherbots inside. The Rangers talk to Redbot, he tells them of the show beaming to Earth and not to watch it. Redbot tells them about the mind control signal. Mick arrives, they see him bowing to Odius. They realize he is under her control. Badonna lets the army out and sent to the ship. To Be continued...

Review:
People were criticizing that Sarah says Calvin was 'better than before' like that old excuse abuse women say about abusive men. I like there was a riff between Hayley and Calvin. It was subtle all season with Calvin being forgetful and Hayley getting miffed and it now all coming to a head. It could've been handled with better tact though and stronger arguments for them sticking together. Sometimes two people aren't meant to be a relationship and better off as friends.

Mick says they are still a team.

Review:
Withe all the complaints fans have, it wasn't a bad season. It was sometimes boring or sometimes Anvilious with its morals and lessons. It had its good moments when Brody and Levi reunited. This cast was great. I did like the girl power in this ep and the Calvin and Hayley stuff. Where the season is stronger is at continuity and not repeating itself, which it does in spades. Sometimes things are hit and miss, they can't all be Dino Charge nor RPM nor In Space. etc.

Everyone was happy about Roxy (Escape) getting her own toy but perplexed as to why she had a green-yellowish color. In some new footage in a Habsro promo at NY Toy Fair, it is revealed she is indeed a goldish yellow. Since Hasbro had to re create the suits, they probably decided to change her from purple to gold. It is probably to go along with the Red Ranger/Blaze comparison. 

Someone commented on her having rabbit designs but Escape always had them.



Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel - The Monster Mix Up and The Poisy Show - Episode Review

"The Monster Mix-Up"
The teens are dressed for Halloween, Preston is a caveman, Sarah is an ace air pilot, Cal is a wrestler, Hayley is a disco star/hippie, Levi is king tut and Brody is a Trojan warrior/spartan. Monsters appear, Versix and the Grousome Grunts, six criminals. The Rangers have no Power Stars. They have nothing to do with Odius. Versix swaps their bodies. Calvin in the vampire guy Fangore, Hayley with the mouth on her head Jabberon, Levi as Snapper reused monster suit--Shelldax, Sarah as the Necrolai reused monster suit--Plasmora, Brody is the blue robot Ackshun and Preston as the orange one Stabberous. The Rangers as monsters are grunt except for Brody and Sarah.


Brody and Sarah leave. Mummy Guards arrive and take away the Grousome Grunts. They are taken the Halloween Intergalactic Court. The Monsters as Rangers are used as witnesses. Court Witch calls the case. Levi tells them that Brody saved the Nexus Prism (clips from the first episode). "Preston" continues the story. Pumpkin judges says it doesn't count. Court Witch says there is a meter to destruction for them. Meanwhile Brody and Sarah go to Mick and Redbot. They mention the Lion Galaxy and he believes them. Mick comes up with an idea. "Calvin" has evidence against Fangore but giving it away. "Hayley" helps too. They show a clip of the Rangers fighting Fangore. They dare Calvin to try garlic but it is Fangore's allergy. "Preston" talks about Stabberous, showing a clip where the Rangers put on capes.


Versix gets trashed after following Brody. The Guards arrive. Levi starts singing but the monsters as rangers don't like it. Pumpkin judges say having a good voice is not proof. The Guards come to the court with the other three monsters. Versix confesses. The grunts try to escape but are frozen and bodies switched by the witch. Versix changes into Mick. The six grunts are vaporized. Pumpkin judges apologize. The Rangers are called by Redbot that Versix escaped. Mick gives them the Power Stars and they morph. The Rangers fight Versix. Versix grows and Ultrazord is called. Ultrazord is split apart. The Rangers use their zords. They call Astro, Tusk and Surfer zords. They hit the monster. The six zords destroy him. Later, the Rangers celebrate trick or treating. Mick surprises them as a pumpkin judge.

Review:
Using unused footage that was otherwise didn't make sense without context (Garlic and magic capes) was smart. Interesting using the Halloween Intergalactic Court again from Dino Charge but since it has been established they are from another dimension, I wonder if they are interdimensional. 



"The Poisy Show"
The Ep starts that the Rangers won but with Sledge coming into the dimension. About Odius tricking him. Sledge arrives again at Warrior Dome and it is empty. The Bashers take trash out and Sledge surprises Poisy with her own show in place of Galaxy Warriors. She is happy with her talk show. Meanwhile, the teens volunteered to take donated toys to kids. They will have Santa help too. Preston shows a gift from Wes Collins--a transportal remote. They hear a message from Wes--they can travel to other dimensions and to use it wisely. Nexus Prism arrives and gives them their Power Stars again. Sledge and Snow Fright arrive. All except for Preston are trapped in snowmen. Preeston fights Sledge but both are sent into a portal.

Ravi and Roxy try to get him to stop. The Mayor--Devon's son comes in and tells him to leave. Blaze says its not over. Devon was supposed to be at a cleaning carper job interview. Mayor is heading for Grid Battlegrid. Devon takes picture of ID. Mayor thinks it is a mistake and is not for it. Devon leavcs the limo as well.

Mayor says it is a mistake. Talking about different monsters who want to rule the universe and now that the grid has been 'wrapped around with a ribbon' an evil can go for it. Devon disguises himself. Now opening Sequence and commercial. Someone tells Devon to go to the lab. He sees three people on beds. Nate and the commander show the Mayor that the grid will mutate with animals the DNA into Power Rangers. Devon notices a purple energy enter a tube. Nate teleports a blade. The Ranger identities have to be secret. The mayor leaves. A snake scares Devon and his identity is revealed. Ravi, Blaze, and Roxy wake up. He tells them of the virus. He is taken to detention. Roxy and Ravi may be romantically involved, Ravi says they can't be together, Rangers can't date Rangers. Roxy seems heartbroken. The three cadets go under the device to change their DNA. Mayor does a speech. They activate the Morph-X. Alarm blares. Evox, the virus says the grid will be his.

Blaze put sthe mask on. Devon and Zoey get together. Roxy is corrupted. They are avatars. Ravi is about to join them when Devons tops it. The two villains shoot Devon and get run over by Zoey. Ravi is mad about Roxy. Devon and Ravi double team Blaze. Zoey fights Roxy. Roxy wraps the three and put them under the DNA device. Nate shoots it and frees them. He morphs them. Ravi says they aren't Blaze and Roxy. The Rangers fight the two. Ravi tells Nate to teleport the two far away. They successfully do so. They take off their helmets.

Apparently the commander is Ravi's mom. Commander says they are the Power Rangers. Zoey says she is proud to take their place. Devon says he's in. 

Review:
Greta start and feel. The Rangers have parents that are involved, Ravi has a personal stake on Roxy. They some callbacks. I like that is slow moving and the first episode effectively introduced the whole cast and the characters clearly. Devon is the hyper kid wanting a bigger challenge, Zoey is the Type A go-getter that doesn't give up and Ravi is the follow-the-rules guy. I asked my grandnephew what he thought, he said boring. My grandniece says she is disappointed there is no pink. There is Go-Busters elements like the giant energy thingy, the lab and base and there are MMPR elements such as the youth center, karate and Bulk and Skull music. 

Some people have called this a "Jungle Fury"-"RPM" hybrid. The "DNA" part reminds me of Operation Overdrive, the beasts remind me of Jungle Fury and the whole base reminds me of SPD and RPM. The whole episode feels like a Disney episode with vibrant characters, lots of good story points and pacing. It is not all perfect, the whole karate fight between Blaze and Devon seemed awkward and strange motivations on both parts. The romantic link between Ravi and Roxy didn't feel genuine. Also, the Bulk and Skull music? So obvious. Good points go to the Mayor, Commander and Nate. Nate is a capable character and charming and not annoying like other kid geniuses (Cubert from Futurama and Wesley Crusher from Star Trek). Commander is capable, caring and stern all together. Good start.

Review:
First of all, I still like the cold opening. Usually a Power Rangers show has a short cold opening, goes to opening sequence and does act one with episode title. This time, Act One starts and ends with the opening sequence. Interesting that they used the Go-Busters weaknesses in this series. Red had the weakness of seeing a chicken and freezing, now Devon sees a dog instead of a chicken. Blue stays the same with overheating. Yellow would get weak and eat candy to energy up, this series smartly puts a carrot to tie in with the rabbit and be healthy example. I also like the tie to the Evok Virus to cause these weaknesses. As for Devon being a leader, I'd be all for it except for him constantly saying it is like a video game. I do like the Megazord catchphrase being "Virus Eliminated." This episode used much more Go-Busters footage than the last episode but that is a given since the last one had only original footage. Also interesting they established the difference between Robotron and Gigadrone, most seasons wouldn't bother. Also deploying the zords remind me of Timeranger and the GB guards helping the Rangers reminds me of Shinkenger. So another good episode.

Skruzzle is an American creation and reminds people of Finster with the tools. I say he could also be a Dragon because he has enough arsenal to be his own threat. So he could sneak up and be the main villain of the second season.
