I would make the team the adopted children of some former rangers. Attempt to bring back David Yost to reprise his role as Billy (because there are few in Power Rangers that could harness imagination to power an entire arsenal for a Ranger team) strictly as a mentor to the team. Would have we’ll call him/her Engine 1, have a little brother around 10-13 to join the team to his older siblings disdain as Engine 6. Engine 1 being an adopted child like the rest, except he/she will have a forgotten twin that was inexplicably not adopted something that could be explained later. Use the Dark Toq Ichigo suit as the suit of the main villain with the Zedd character being the voice driving the villain until it becomes a physical manifestation of the villain’s darkness resulting in the villain turning to the side of good then using the Toq 7 suit for the last few episodes as the now changed villain joins the fight. As for Zaram he could be a character who wants to change, but like the villain is easily manipulated by darkness.

The Rainbow Line would be where the Rangers stay during their time as Rangers. Could take time to explain how Billy came back from Aquatar which might be fun as well as having a potential special where a “new” team of Aquatar Rangers (maybe the Ninningers) with a couple of the former Alien Rangers as mentors for that team join for a few episodes. Of coarse those episodes would have to mostly be original footage which wouldn’t be a bad thing. The color change gimmick could be used for added toys. Not to mention an excuse to actually have a Pink training set which my daughter would love. The imagination part would be a fun thing to use when the Rangers are fighting without their suits. Much like in Mystic Force they could imagine different things to use while fighting the Kuros which were pretty amazing looking foot soldiers that seemed a little more capable then most past foot soldiers.

Everyone dismisses it as a season that isn’t adaptable, but it would just mean the writer’s room would have to think a little which is obviously not their strong suit of late. If you use your IMAGINATION then it is pretty easy to adapt it. Not to mention all the fun you could have with it. The only reason why I say bring back David Yost is because of the genius of his character. The only other characters I could see being capable of the same type of genius (depending on how they were developed after the season ended) would be Ethan, Hayley, Cam, Andrew Hartford, Rose, and probably RJ given he developed the arsenal for the Jungle Fury team so all would be adequate substitutes for Billy’s character in my mind if I’m forgetting forgive me. Obviously everyone I mentioned is within the same time line and dimension as the current Rangers or I would have included Dr. K and Kat with those characters mentioned above, but I guess with imagination being the driving factor behind this it would make sense on some level.

Still this season is adaptable, but it would take more effort then Saban Brands has been willing to put into the show since it was repurchased.
