History

Saban Brands announced on February 15, 2018 that they would end their global Power Rangers master toy license agreement with Bandai America, effective April 2019. The following day, it was announced that they would instead partner with Hasbro to make Power Rangers toys, with their first series, Power Rangers Beast Morphers, subsequently being revealed on February 17.

On May 1, 2018, Hasbro announced their plans to acquire the brand in full for $522 million in cash and stocks. Haim Saban will remain working with Hasbro for the time being in an advisory role.

Notes

• It's the first Era to use footage of a previously skipped Super Sentai series. Power Rangers Beast Morphers will be the adaptation of Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, originally skipped in favor of adapting Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger into Power Rangers Dino Charge and Power Rangers Dino Super Charge.
• It is the first era to adapt sentai from a different era than Japan is presently in as the contract for toy production begins in April 2019, the same month Emperor Akihito will abdicate the throne to his son
• This is the first era where Bandai does not make the toys.
• Like the previous eras first season, the zords have animal motifs:
  • The Samurai Rangers animal motifs aren't prevelent in their suits.
  • The Wind and Thunder Rangers' are alluded to (more so with the latter), but not as prevelent as MMPR, Lost Galaxy, or Beast Morphers.
• This era could very well take the record for the smallest and largest teams in franshise history
  • The Beast Morphers are a core team of 3 (Gold and Silver are considered 6th rangers as they don't apper in Sentai Hero Getter)
    • the Lupinrangers and Patrangers are also teams of three that share the 6th ranger
    • Dino Thunder has a core team of 4 (Trent is considered a 6th ranger)
    • Jungle Furry is considered to be 5 members, despte RJ and Dominic being added later
