Power Rangers Super Megaforce Confirmed to Continue Using Goseiger Suits

Power Rangers Megaforce’s second season, officially titled Power Rangers Super Megaforce, was confirmed to continue using suits adapted from Tensou Sentai Goseiger rather than switching to new Sentai source footage, according to a report from RangerCrew.

The choice was notable because a change in source suits typically accompanies a new season, renewing interest in the show and easing the incorporation of Japanese action footage. It was speculated that reusing the Goseiger costumes, following Power Rangers Samurai’s success with premium suit designs from Bandai, might reflect a cost decision after the suits had already been used for the first season, though Gokaiger costumes, weapons, and footage remained a separate asset still available to the production.

Reports at the time indicated the Super Megaforce Rangers would be given surnames and would operate out of a named city, and that the Goseiger card-based gimmick would be prominently promoted, raising the possibility of a tie-in card game. At a Morphicon appearance, producers were asked whether Power Rangers Samurai had addressed fan criticism, and responded only that the new season would “go darker,” without elaborating further.

Power Rangers Megaforce/Super Megaforce launched in the first quarter of 2013, coinciding with the Power Rangers franchise’s 20th anniversary.
