Power Ranger R.P.M (2009)

According to Wikipedia's entry for "Octane":

"High octane" is often used to describe a dynamic, intense lifestyle in common speech. Presumably this is by analogy with high performance cars, which tend to require a fuel with a high Octane rating.

Also, this is a better link for toy information: http://www.toywiz.com/porabco.html

The previous link was one section, this is the directory.

Go-Phones = Cell Shift Morpher
Shift-Changers = Rev Morpher

Ah okay, that makes some sense then.

So, since they are bio-tech machines, I'm thinking synthetically fused animal/machine here. So how are they gonna solve the Shark and Whale mis-naming of the Green and Black Rangers?

And...

Spoiler

Go-On Gold = Kentucky Fried Chicken Ranger?
Go-On Silver = Tigeress Ranger?

[Deka_Hero]

So, it look's like the Engines wont have actual names, just their animal and "Defender".
Speedor is now Eagle Defender for example.

And look's like Jetras will be called "Chrome Prowler Tiger Zord".
So Go-On Sliver has become RPM Chrome?

The Mantan Gun's are Nitro Blasters.

Wow

Wow

Nitro Blasters... *smacks palm on face*

[Deka_Hero]

And Interesting note, in the zord's section there, they list "Retrofire Mighty Morphin Megazord" and "Retrofire Wild Force Zord", a swell as "Super Legends Extreme Mighty Morphin Green Ranger.

What could it mean?

[That Guy]

That they're attempting to make a little cash by bringing back old products, as always?

Some people figure they will just be recast's of old megazord's and ranger's.....

But why would they be in the RPM line then?
Unless.................................... NERDGASM!

[Kaheraji]

Bandai probably saw how well the Super Legands video game, MMPR Green and Lord Zedd figures did and decided to do the same thing with some Megazords.

There is only one way Disney can redeem it'self.... by making Rangers 6, 9, 10, 11, 12 and however more they add on in Go-Onger

That would be crazy. Biggest Power Ranger team ever right?

[gekiwaza]

Actually it would be a tie with SPD, if you count the rangers that made only one appearance.

A-Squad:5
B-Squad:5
Shadow Ranger
Omega Ranger
Kat Ranger(only one appearance)
Nova Ranger(only one appearance)

God, it's so sad that I remember that


EDIT: I fail at math SPD had 14

If that's the case, then SPD would be the largest. I mean there's only 12 Engines, so 12 Rangers at max. Then again, it's Disney, they might even throw in a Mickey Mouse Ranger if they feel like it.

[Deka_Hero]

seeing as power rangers usual is like 20+ eps... I doubt it

The last 3 series (Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury) all had 32 Epsiode's. I expect RPM to have the same number.

[kaemmerite]

Speaking of RPM, I happened to pick up a few packs of the Power Rangers CCG that Bandai just released (they were at Wal-Mart here). They have Go-On Red on the packaging, and I actually ended up snagging a rare holographic (or whatever it's called) version of Engine-O. They're calling it "Engine King." I don't know if that's the official name for it, or if Bandai just made up a name just to release the card, but I thought that was kind of interesting.

Here's a scan of the card in question, hope this link is okay... @.@

I haven't gotten the Go-On Red card (which I'm sure will just be called "Red Ranger" on it), so I don't know anything about that. It'd be interesting if they did actually call it Engine King in the show, it'd be a first for them to drop the "Megazord" label.

Of course I wouldn't just put it past Bandai to have the info on this card wrong...I already have a card of the original Megazord labeled as "Mega-Dragonzord" and the White Tiger Warrior Mode labeled as "Mega Tigerzord."

[Kaheraji]

The Camille card also has the eye boobs.

Anyway, filming pics! (Well, stunt crew pics)

I have no clue what the last one could end up becoming.

UPDATE: Stunts are being done by B.O.S. Stunts (http://blog.bos-stunts.com/
)

They have a short clip of a sequence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUkiQMVuMzo

UPDATE II: MOAR PICS

Spoiler

Looks like they're adding some on-land props to make the usual rock quarry look different. Perhaps it's to make look more polluted/thrashed or something.

Couldn't the green thing turn out to be the equivalent of an Ugut?
