This article is about an array of morphing devices in Power Rangers Super Megaforce. |
- For the version used in Gokaiger, see Ranger Keys.
The Legendary Ranger Keys (or Legend Ranger Keys), also referred to as Ranger Keys or simply Keys, are what the Mega Rangers use to morph into their Legendary Mode. Legendary Mode allows the rangers to morph into any of the rangers that have preceded them and even rangers with powers that have never before been seen on Earth. These Keys are activated through the Mega Rangers' new Legendary Morpher. Most of the Legendary Ranger Keys line the Command Center's interior walls. Often, Troy recalls his Mega War dream whenever he sees the keys up close.

Notes
- In Power Rangers Super Megaforce, Metallic versions of the Super Megaforce Keys are seen when the Mega Rangers morph into Super Mega Mode. When already IN Super Mega Mode, the keys are painted like regular keys. This is because the Power Rangers footage changed the keys to metallic versions, as opposed to the regularly painted prop keys in the source footage from Gokaiger.
- During the airing of Megaforce, various references to the keys simply referred to them as "Keys". As of New York Comic Con 2013, the boxes for the Legendary Megazord and Legacy Morpher refer to them as "Legendary Ranger Keys" on the sides of the boxes.
- The only series with less than five core ranger Keys is Power Rangers Dino Thunder.
- There were no original Keys made for Power Rangers Super Megaforce.[3] However, two American-made Ranger keys were made possibilities due to the Power Rangers Morphin Madness contest, where five special Ranger keys could be made for the winners of a poll: the Phantom Ranger (which would be the equivalent of VRV Master from Carranger) and the Titanium Ranger (which is a purely American made Ranger from Lightspeed Rescue and has no true equivalent in GoGoFive, the Sentai whose footage was used for the season), even though no keys exist for them typically due to not being associated with Gokaiger. However, one or both would have to win the poll in order for the keys to be made and it would not be a possible change in Super Megaforce.
- A ShishiRanger key was seen in the Power Rangers prototype display despite not yet having a Power Rangers counterpart. The key was later replaced with a Lunar Wolf Ranger key. It is also of note that the Comic Con trailer shows the Rangers turning into the DaiRangers. Both of these facts led fans to be confused as to whether or not the DaiRanger keys and suits will be used and much speculation as to who these rangers could be if they do use the suits. In show, they become the first new modes the Rangers unlock that have never before been seen on Earth. [4]
- The initial design of the Keys seen lining the Command Center is different from the prop keys in that they have no hinges and are slightly larger. The size difference of the maquettes and the keys may be due to the necessity to "blow up" background elements for the camera. The first teaser trailer shown in San Diego Comic Con 2013, highlighting the ability to morph with the keys, refers to both the Command Center props and the hand-held props as keys. [5] However, in the first episode of Super Megaforce, hinges could be seen on some of the keys in the Command Center.
- In turn Keys for the toyline are 1/2 to 2/3 smaller than the hand-held prop keys and have a modified sculpt. These keys have hinges, albeit differently done than the way the original keys were, for spring-loaded functionality.
- The Mega Rangers keys were first shown lining the walls of the command center and being in use in the third episode Blue Saber Saga. There were no indications these were 'separate' from the Super Mega powers before this. In the same episode the Blue Megaforce Key was also used in battle.
