Hasbro's Power Rangers era and General Tokusatsu discussion

Kizuna Five must've dated back to ZyuRanger era or earlier where they only had their original 5 Mechas and no more "Extra Personal Mecha's".

No, I recall them having smartphones (or I should say sumafo).

Maybe all their supplemental mechas were trashed in the episodes leading up to the finale and they were left going back to the basics. I've seen that sort of thing happen occasionally in toku shows. Maybe the components of Maximum Kizuna Kaiser survived the destruction of the rest because they had the strongest bonds with the Five. (Then again, with a name like "Maximum," maybe they are the later mecha that supplanted the originals. Though I don't recall if we saw them in the flashbacks with early episode numbers.)

Or maybe it's one of those shows where they don't get Mecha's beyond their original?

It's not impossible, but rare in the modern era.
 
So a huge dump of news from Colour:

Zetz has very few forms (only one listed for September)

Base form is an Ichigo homage as previously mentioned

Scarf can turn into a sword? The following forms mention weapons but it sounds like they are integrated with the forms than outright DX Weapons used for toys.

October - "Technolom Stream" a water/wind form that is dark blue/blue in color with a hook/gun weapon for long range combat

- "Esprim Recovery" A dark green healing form with a shield/axe

November - "Paradigm Wonder" a gravity control form with dark purple coloring and a hook/sword

Upgrade form may be yellow/silver

There is quite a bit of "Support Gear." Not sure if this is in reference to roleplay toys or props in the show. Some are cameras and a phone with a recorder.

Most interesting is a spider device that requires the gimmick item to be placed in it (like Double's or Fourze's support robots)

Zeztz also may have form that uses his motorcycle as armor, but i am not sure if said form is any of the above forms, or just a "mode"

Also on forms, Colour mentioned that forms are minimalistic in the vein of Kuuga or Zero-One.

Transformation sounds includes a "Wake Up!" standby with the actual henshin sound being "Good Morning Rider! Zeztz Impact!"

Gimmick is looking to be Gashapon capsules in some form.

There may also be an early secondary Rider like Valen, more info on that potentially coming tomorrow.
 
I saw some other rumored news on Twitter this morning. It repeats the rumor that Yuya Takahashi is head writer again, which is good news if true. It claims that Zeztz is an agent of a "mysterious organization" hunting the "natre" (typo?) that appears in lucid dreams. "If you are defeated in the dream, the nightmare will invade the real world."

A theme of the Rider going into dreams a la Inception could be interesting, although we saw something similar in Wizard. It would fit with the "Good Morning Rider" henshin call.

The descriptions of the Rider forms agrees with what Samurai posted, with the addition that the gravity-control form also has shrinking powers.
 
4th quarter information for Gozyuger revealed aside from the new mecha and rings there’s information about two anniversary specials


-Universe Shinken Red's actor is someone famous
-In September we'll get an announcement for Magiranger's anniversary
-There seems to be something in development for Boukenger's anniversary but might be small scale since Bouken Black knows nothing
