|
Tyler Navarro is the main protagonist of Power Rangers Dino Charge and Power Rangers Dino Super Charge. A young man aged 18, Tyler is on a mission to find his missing father, James, and he holds Fury solely responsible for his disappearance, and also using the body of Sir Ivan of Zandar he held, whom Tyler first thought and believed that Fury held his father's body as a host. While on this quest, he finds the Red Energem and bounds with the T-Rex Zord, becoming the Dino Charge Red Ranger and leader of the Dino Charge Rangers. He is also referred to as Red Ranger and, in roll calls, as Tyrannosaurus Rex Power Ranger Red.
Character History
A long time
ago, Tyler lost his father in one expedition to a cave. What was left from his father was a notebook that his father used to write with a strange sketching of a warrior. A bracelet was also left too.
Tyler initially came to Amber Beach to investigate his father's disappearance ten years ago, first by gathering information at the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum, then later by heading out to a cave similar to one his father investigated. Once there he found strange crystal among a T-Rex fossil. He was also chased after by a cloaked figure, whom he was able to evade.
Later, he saw the same cloaked figure attack a girl for a crate. The girl, Shelby, had no idea what was in t
he crate as well but both went to great lengths to make sure the cloaked figure couldn't take it. The figure reveals himself to be the monster Iceage and finally freezes both Shelby and Tyler in place. They are saved when they come into contact with crystals, revealed by Iceage to be Energems. The Energems free them of the frozen prisons, the surge of energy providing them with fossilized weapons. When Tyler figures out that the Energems go in the weapons, they fire and transform both Tyler and Shelby into Rangers. TV STORY-Powers from the Past
While on their way back to the Museum, they found Riley Griffin, whose scooter broke in the middle of the journey and offered him a ride. They even save a man from his car via their Energems' powers followed by the discovery of an underground lab below the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum which led them to become Power Rangers, as their Energems corresponded with their bravery.
Tyler and his friends soon become Power Rangers to stop Iceage and his Vivix while his T-Rex Zord eliminates two Vivizords. As the Red Ranger, Tyler and his T-Rex attacked in unison to eliminate Iceage.
After their confrontation with Iceage, Tyler works in the Museum, and as a cook in the Dino Bite Cafe, as a cover for his identity of the Red Ranger. At the same time, he was told that the mysterious warrior in his father's notebook is none other than Fury, thus trying to find out what relation he may had with his father. TV STORY-Past, Present and Fusion
Tyler receives a letter and met with Rusty, a man who knew and was on the same expedition as his father before his disappearance.
Short Film
Brennan Mejia reprised his role of Tyler in a short film during 2018 along with Ciara Hanna.
Tyler teamed up with Gia Moran to rescue a civilian from Putties, Gia is locked in a cell while trying to rescue the man; she tries to morph or contact Gosei or Tensou but fails. Tyler morphs into Dino Charge Red and is able to destroy the monster and frees Gia and the man.
Beast Morphers
Tyler, along with some other members of his team, traveled to the main dimension in order to find Keeper, there they fought some foot soldiers and met the Beast Morphers Rangers. After Keeper got kidnaped by Evox's Army, the Dino Charge Rangers went to Grid Battleforce and explained the situation to the current team, both teams agreed to work together and rescue Keep
er. They soon accepted a bargain with Evox and went to an abandoned warehouse to trade Ryjack's collection for Keeper, but when Snide didn't follow up on the agreement both teams morphed and got ready to fight.
Tyler then called Shelby and Riley to fight Snide while the Beast Morphers Rangers took care of a Gigadrone attack. Tyler summoned his T-Rex Super Charge Mode, but just when the team defeated Snide, the newly revived Sledge and his crew appeared, fought and almost destroyed the Dino Charge Rangers if it weren't for the Beast Morpher Rangers appearing at the last second, blasting Sledge's crew and managing to get away after rescuing Keeper. After making sure Keeper was safe and thank the current team, the Dino Charge Rangers departed to their home universe until the next time they meet. TV STORY-Finders Keepers
Days after their previous adventure, Tyler sent a message to Grid Battleforce saying that Goldar and Snide were attacking the Dino Charge Rangers and that they were after their Energems. Four of the Beast Morphers Rangers arrived but the villains still managed to steal four of the Energems and defeat both teams of Rangers, while Tyler and the others were hiding and discussing the villains' plans of making an evil Zord, Jason and Devon arrived and decided to split themselves into two teams.
Tyler followed Jason along with the rest of his team on a frontal assault while the Beast Morphers team attacked from behind. When Goldar Maximus and the rest of Evox's army arrived, Jason summoned his old Mighty Morphin' teammates and the Dino Rangers to defeat the army in a big fight.
When Evox summoned his massive Chimerazord, Tyler joined in summoning the Dino Charge Megazord and aiding in its defeat. With Evox on the run again, the teams departed and said goodbye to the Dino Charge Rangers. TV STORY-Grid Connection
Personality
Tyler is curious, energetic, charming and gregarious; a free-spirit who fully embraces the idea that life is an adventure. While childlike at times, Tyler has the ability to switch on his serious side and his role as the leader is unquestionable. He is also very kind and friendly, always looking out for his friends. [1]He appears to have some sort of connection with Fury since he had something to do with his father's disappearance, in which Tyler recognized him from the book he held, showing an image drawing of the monster from his father before he disappeared, thus when he finds out that Fury was indeed responsible for his father's disappearance, Tyler shows a bit of negative side, such as obsessing over revenge against Fury for what he did to his father, until he witness that Fury has been controlling some unknown host he held, thus dropped his desire for vengeance towards him and instead saving the host who's been controlled by Fury, whom Tyler later was first thought and believe the host Fury held was his father. Tyler has a crush on Shelby and finally manages to tell her how he feels in the Power Rangers Dino Super Charge episode "Silver Secret".

Armor X was developed by Kendall as an enhancement to the Dino Charge Rangers' ranger forms to add weaponry and enhance movement. It originally only worked with the Black Energem as using it with any other charger or Energem would've caused an explosive blowback. It was later modified so that the Red Ranger could use Armor X.

After Heckyl plants a virus in Kendall’s computer, the T-Rex Super Charger malfunctions, causing Tyler to turn into a Tyranno Human; essentially a were-dinosaur, a human that thinks and behaves as a dinosaur. In this form he is constantly in a tyrannosaur-like stance and possesses heightened senses and reflexes. His helmet also functions as a dinosaur's head would, with the mouth design behaving like an actual mouth when roaring or biting in CGI appearance. This form is distinguishable from Tyler's normal form by his helmet's silver mouth plate becoming black. TV STORY-Roar of the Red Ranger

Portrayal
Tyler Navarro is portrayed by Brennan Mejia. He also guest starred on Nickelodeon's iCarly in iPilot.
Behind the Scenes
- The first casting sheet revealed that Tyler's original name was Kyle. The casting sides called him Lucas, but this was changed due to the existence of a previous Ranger with that name - Lucas Kendall from Power Rangers Time Force.
- When morphed, Tyler was respectively portrayed by suit actor Yoshifumi Oshikawa (押川 善文 Oshikawa Yoshifumi) in footage from Kyoryuger.
Notes
- His pre-battle catchphrase is almost identical to that of his Sentai counterpart, with Tyler's catchphrase being the first half of Daigo's.
- Like his Sentai Counterpart, he also have the Red Rangers of the last two Dinosaur-themed Power Rangers teams, Jason, Rocky, and Conner are based on a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
- Tyler is similar to Cole Evans, the main protagonist of Power Rangers Wild Force as both Rangers have goals to find their family.
- He is the first Dino Charge Ranger to have an on-screen transformation sequence.
- During the roll call, his label is Tyrannosaurus Rex Power Ranger Red; however, this is probably a long form name like Ranger Operator Series Red in RPM (who was usually called simply Ranger Red). The official Power Rangers website and the majority of the toys simply refer to him as "Red Ranger".[2]
- Unlike Jack Landors, Nick Russell, Mack Hartford and Casey Rhodes, he is the first Red Ranger to transform first before his main teammates do in some early episodes.
- Tyler is one of the few Rangers in history whose age has been revealed. James is said to have missed Tyler's eighth birthday party ten years ago; this means that, at the time of Dino Super Charge, Tyler is 18 years old.
- Unlike his predecessors, Tyler says his closing call without saying his team's name.
- Tyler is the first Dino Charge Ranger to use another Ranger's (like Koda's) Dino Charger in his Morpher.
- Tyler is shown to be ambidextrous, he is seen writing with his left hand, but uses his right to fight.
- Tyler is the first Ranger to lose his Energem to Sledge while still bonded with it.
- Tyler currently holds the record of having the most Ranger forms, twelve in total. Falling behind is Tommy at ten, and Jayden at eight.
- Tyler has an obsession throughout the season of shouting "Awesome!" every time he destroys a monster or sees a monster destroyed by one of his teammates.
