|
Power Rangers Beast Morphers is the 26th and 27th (season 2) season of Power Rangers and the first to be produced under the franchise's acquisition from Hasbro, under their live-action production division Allspark Pictures. The series borrows footage, costumes, and props from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.
Production
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 combines a newly discovered substance called "Morph-X" with animal DNA to create the Power Rangers Beast Morphers team. The Rangers must fight off an evil sentient computer virus bent on taking over the source of all Ranger power, the Morphin Grid itself.

Notes
- This is the first Hasbro Era season.
- This is the first season/incarnation since Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to be split into two or more sub-seasons, yet does not contain "Super" in the title of the season (as previously seen with seasons such as Power Rangers Super Samurai and Power Rangers Super Megaforce).
- 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 season 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.
- Beast Morphers is the first show since Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue to have a previous team's Megazord assist the current group. It also holds the record for the most returning Megazords, with a total of 3 (the Dino, Thundersaurus and Dino Charge Megazords).
