Yeah, its been kinda theorized for awhile that we're likely getting a hiatus next year, I think I've mentioned that previously as well. Hasbro seems to want to take time to work on the next stuff, whatever that is
I really hope that isn't the Roadpig we end up getting, but seeing the mold like that and chest, I guess I can see why they would use it. I would just prefer a more classic harly alt mode.
I welcome any replacements of clear plastic in fragile places being replaced with regular plastic. Clear plastic does little good if its gonna crack or break from transformation or joist use.
...You know, one possible way to make it work... Hexagon.

Like it would obviously be changed from the intial plan; and it wouldn't fix everything... but the very core concept? That could still work as its a way to have two ranger teams, not have...
Yes, but so did Go-Busters, its why a lot of episodes ended up just boiling down to Red Ranger zord fighting. We still eventually got Beast Morphers. So it underperforming in Japan, doesn't nessicarily mean its gonna fail here. I'm not saying that as a counter of it will happen; just that it's...
No one is actually thinking it will, just explaining why it wouldn't. Just about everything about it is problematic in some form in the west. Which is a shame becuase its an interesting concept and some pretty cool designs, especially the 6th Ranger having different forms for each team.
I'm not sure they'd have to go quiet /that/ far; but yes they'd have to do a lot of reworking to make it fit with American standards and with the PR brand itself.
They also aren't completely fond of "Power Ranger as Theives" as well as no one wanting to make cop stuff for kids; Either way you've got a team of rangers being long term antagonists another thing they weren't fond of. It's not something like say, Ninja Storm; where Navy and Crimson where...
They've stated previously that the likelyhood of Lu Pat getting adapted is low; due to various issues with the themes.
Zyu Oh I personally feel won't get adapted due to to the preschool building blocks they call zords.
Kiramager is one I'd still love to see adapted, as I love the outfits and...
Roadpig also has my interest; which is hopefully a new mold. Gets us both Laser Cycles; and means maybe we can get G2 Laser Soundwave; also potential now for an RiD Axor vs Sideways two pack homage. Maybe even use him as Armada Sideways as a homage to RM Doubleface.
I still hold the belief that the changes were due to him being too similar to Legacy Prime's normal colors. Mostly gray robot body, black boots and shoulders. Mostly just the head and arms would look different.
