This article is about a/an series entry (the "26th" and "27th") in the Power Rangers franchise. |
Power Rangers Beast Morphers are the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh seasons of Power Rangers, serving as an adaptation of the Super Sentai series Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. After the finale of Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, Hasbro had acquired the franchise from Saban Brands and announced an adaptation of Go-Busters, under their live-action production division Allspark Pictures. The storyline serves as a follow-up to Power Rangers RPM.
Production
After the finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, an adaptation of Go-Busters was skipped in favor of Kyoryuger, leaving a potential adaptation of Go-Busters unknown.
Following the announcement on February 16, 2018, that Hasbro would be taking over Bandai America as the master toy licensee for Power Rangers from 2019 onwards[1], Power Rangers Beast Morphers was announced during Hasbro's panel for the New York Toy Fair 2018.[2]
On May 1, 2018, it was announced that Hasbro had purchased the Power Rangers franchise outright from Saban[3], making Beast Morphers the first Hasbro-era season. On August 18, 2018, the main Ranger cast was revealed to fans at Power Morphicon 6 during a Hasbro panel with a teaser trailer for the show screened at the event.
Plot
A secret agency known as Grid Battleforce combines a newly discovered substance called "Morph-X" with animal DNA to create its own team of Rangers, who are tasked with fighting off an evil sentient computer virus known as Evox, who is bent on taking over the source of all Ranger power, the Morphin Grid itself.

Toyline
- Beast Morphers' toyline was officially launched in Spring of 2019. In addition, the Red, Blue, and Gold Beast Morphers Rangers and Blaze appear in Hasbro's Lightning Collection waves 2, 3 and 4.
Video Games
- Devon is featured as a playable character in Power Rangers: Legacy Wars.
Notes
- This is the first Hasbro Era season.
- Starting with this season, the franchise would shorten the intro down to 30-seconds instead of a full minute.
- This is the first season to have its toy line produced by Hasbro instead of Bandai America.
- This season debuts a brand new Power Rangers logo. Apart from the 2010 "reversion" of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, this is the first time the logo has been completely redesigned since Zeo.
- In the second season, Saban's name was dropped from the logo.
- This is the first time a Power Rangers series has adapted the Sentai out of order, as Go-Busters was skipped over initially.
- The core three Rangers made their debut in comics rather than on television for the first time ever. This happened in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Boom! Studios) Issue 29.
- On April 1, 2014, an adaptation of Go-Busters was announced as an April Fools joke, titled Power Rangers Energy Chasers.
- Due to Evox’s revelation of his actual origin in "Source Code", Beast Morphers is a direct sequel to Power Rangers RPM's storyline, marking the only two series to have a recurring major character not originating from Zordon Era.
- This makes Venjix the first main villain in Power Rangers history to be the main villain of two different series.
- The name "Beast Morphers" was never mentioned in the show itself despite being the title.
