This article is about a list of sets of Ranger powers in Power Rangers Super Megaforce. |
- "Rangers, you've now unlocked new modes that have never been seen before on this Planet."
- ―Gosei[src]
As part of the Super Mega Rangers new power set, Gosei has given them the ability to not only transform into Historic Rangers but to actually unlock "new powers" never before seen on Earth. These powers represent teams that have never set foot in contemporary Earth. Whether they are aliens, like the Aquitian Rangers or Trey of Triforia, dimension-hoppers like the RPM Rangers, or from the future like the S.P.D. Rangers or the Time Force Rangers is unclear. However, unlike those Rangers, their powers have never been utilized where the Morphing Grid is located currently on Earth is certain.
These "new power" sets are adapted from Super Sentai seasons before Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger that were never adapted into Power Rangers seasons.
Because of this, in the Legendary Battle, many rangers that have never been adapted into Power Rangers are seen fighting alongside characters that have been adapted, due to Saban using footage that was seen in Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle. The entire Squadron, Lightning, and Prism teams can be seen in certain parts of the Legendary Battle, although it's unknown if this was meant to show the real teams fighting, or if they were left in due to lack of editing.
Squadron
- See also: DairangersThe first new Ranger powers that the Rangers unlocked seemed similar in appearance to the White Ranger of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, albeit with white details instead of gold or black. They also had a theme strangely similar to the Thunderzords which consisted of legendary animals. They had the ability to channel energy (similar to 'chi' energy) and blast it at the opponent. The Super Mega Rangers, except for Troy, unlocked these in their battle with Cybax's XBorgs. TV STORY-Earth Fights Back Later, they used it as a team with Orion partnering up with them to become the thematically similar Mighty Morphin White Ranger. TV STORY-The Perfect Storm Their group attack is the "Legendary Strike", which is performed by launching chakrams at their opponent.
Green Ranger
- See also: Daigo of the Heavenly Phantom StarThis Ranger had a motif of a majestic Lion as seen in oriental art. Jake was able to unlock this.
The Green Squadron Ranger is seen fighting along side the Pink Squadron Ranger and Red Squadron Ranger.
Blue Ranger
- See also: Shoji of the Heavenly Gravity StarThis Ranger had a motif of a Pegasus. Noah was able to unlock this. He also used it against Emperor Mavro. TV STORY-The Legendary Battle: Extended Edition
Yellow Ranger
- See also: Kazu of the Heavenly Time StarThis Ranger had a motif of a Qilin, a chimera-like creature. Gia was able to unlock this. The Ranger Key shows the original powers did not have a skirt.
Pink Ranger
- See also: Rin of the Heavenly Wind StarThis Ranger had a motif of the Fenghuang, a mythical bird from Chinese mythology. Emma was able to unlock this.
During the Legendary Battle, the Pink Squadron Ranger could be seen in the battle.
Red Ranger
- See also: Ryo of the Heavenly Fire StarThis Ranger had a motif of the serpentine Chinese dragon. It is unclear if it came unlocked with the other powers or if Troy had unlocked it before the battle with Matacore. Troy considers this one of his most powerful close combat Legendary Modes. TV STORY-Samurai Surprise In the Legendary Battle, he could be seen alongside Jungle Fury Red Ranger.
Notes
- "Squadron" is a translation of "Sentai", the namesake of Super Sentai.
- Tommy Oliver's White Ranger powers are also from Gosei Sentai Dairanger, and are the adapted version of Kou of the Howling New Star.
- During the production of Super Megaforce, the Legendary Squadron was given the name Power Rangers Star Force in early casting sides. [1]
- In the Indonesian Dub, Dairanger was called "Star Ranger", similar to the name "Star Force".
Lightning
- See also: MaskmenThe second power set the Rangers were shown using were featured during the battle with Matacore's XBorgs. TV STORY-Samurai Surprise These Rangers seem to be highly adept at martial arts. Their Legendary Ranger Keys also allow the Legendary Megazord to perform an aura attack. TV STORY-The Legendary Battle: Extended Edition
Yellow Ranger
- See also: Haruka (Maskman)Gia chose this Ranger as one of her most powerful Legendary Modes to sense coming attacks. TV STORY-Samurai Surprise
Blue Ranger
- See also: Akira (Maskman)Used by Noah during the final battle with Levira. TV STORY-The Wrath
Notes
- When Gia morphs into YellowMask in Samurai Surprise she says "Legendary Ranger Blitz", but when Noah transforms into Blue Mask in The Wrath, he says "Lightning Mode: Blue!".
- Right after the Rangers transform into "New Powers", they get knocked down by their enemy. The camera zooms in onto him as the shot excludes the Rangers in their New Powers suits all based on the Legendary Dragon, and then repeats almost identically but this time the Red Ranger is suited up as Lightning Red.
Prism
- See also: FlashmenThe third power set the Rangers were shown using were featured during the battle with Matacore's XBorgs. TV STORY-Samurai Surprise These Rangers seem to use hard light/prism power as hand-to-hand combat power augmentations.
Pink Ranger
- See also: LouEmma chose this Ranger as one of her most powerful Legendary Modes. This Ranger generates hard light boots for powerful kicks. TV STORY-Samurai Surprise
Green Ranger
- See also: DaiJake unlocked this Ranger during one of his solo battles. This Ranger generates prism fists for powerful punches. TV STORY-Power of Six
Was also used by Emma during the final battle with Levira. TV STORY-The Wrath
Notes
- Although fans of Super Sentai know, nothing in Super Megaforce suggests which version of the Green Ranger is the correct gender (unless the Legendary Battle footage counts, but that may be a mistake as there's otherwise no indication any of the New Powers team actually participated in the battle).
Dragon Power/Blitz
- See also: ChangemenThe fourth power set the Rangers used was described as Powers of the Legendary Dragon. TV STORY-The Grass is Always Greener or Bluer
Red Ranger
- See also: Hiryuu TsurugiThis Ranger had a motif of a Dragon. Troy was able to unlock this.
Blue Ranger
- See also: Yuuma OozoraThis Ranger had a motif of a Pegasus. Noah was able to unlock this.
White Ranger
- See also: Sayaka NagisaThis Ranger had a motif of a Mermaid. Gia was able to unlock this.

Pink Ranger
- See also: Mai TsubasaThis Ranger had a motif of a Phoenix. Emma was able to unlock this.
Black Ranger
- See also: Shou HayateThis Ranger had a motif of a Griffon. Used by Jake during the final battle with Levira. It was referred to as Blitz mode, a name Gia previously used for Maskman. TV STORY-The Wrath
The Black Blitz Ranger is seen fighting in the Legendary Battle.
Notes
- Blitz is the first Power Rangers team without a Yellow Ranger. They precede the succeeding season's team, also without a Yellow Ranger, making the Red Ranger and the Blue Ranger the only colors to appear in every team.
- Blitz is also the first Power Rangers team to have both a female White Ranger and Pink Ranger in the core team until Ninja Steel.
Supersonic
The Supersonic Rangers were a six-man team from Xybria.
- See also: Fivemen
Yellow Ranger
- See also: Remi HoshikawaThis fifth power set was only used once by Gia during the final battle with Levira when she transformed in the Supersonic Yellow Ranger TV STORY-The Wrath
Pink Ranger
- See also: Kazumi HoshikawaDuring the Legendary Battle, the Pink Supersonic Ranger could be seen fighting in the Legendary Battle.
Blue Ranger

Battalion
- See also: Dynamen
Red Ranger
- See also: Hokuto DanThough Troy didn't use this power set to transform, he used it in the Legendary Megazord to activate its fire storm strike attack. TV STORY-The Wrath
Notes
- Although Battalion Mode does not have a true Power Rangers equivalent, this is not the first time they were seen in the United States.
- Despite the key used in The Wrath, they also used the flaming firebird attack which originally corresponds to Jetman's Greater Power in the episode's counterpart.
Notes
Behind the Scenes
- Of the sixteen powers, seven of them belonged to Rangers who guest starred on Gokaiger (Dai, Ryo, Shoji, Kazu, Akira, Shou, Remi).
- Troy's and Emma's Legendary Squadron and Legendary Dragon forms share the same animal motifs as their base Megaforce powers, a dragon and a phoenix respectively.
- The concept of the New Powers was heavily criticized by longtime fans, as some saw it as lazy/poor editing of Sentai footage. Its execution story-wise was a major point of criticism as the powers are never fully explained in-universe.
- During the episode Bully for Ethan in Power Rangers Dino Thunder, the symbols for four of these teams (Squadron, Lightning, Prism and Dragon/Blitz) are seen in Tommy's Dino Lab.
