So it just happened to dawn on me since Henshin Heroes is set in a world where everything ever exists simultaneously, I thought wouldn't it be cool if we somehow link all the various franchises into one so it would all make sense to a degree?
That way to make the world the characters inhabit more real and more interesting and also establish it's own mythology.
So here are my various ideas I thought of:
1. Cyborgs.
Development of cybernetic enhancements would have begun as far back as World War II (Why? Say hello to Dr. Shinigami), but due to war itself and the insufficient technology, the project was a failure despite it's great potential.
It was only during the Cold War, in 1969, where the first fully functional cyborgs have surfaced. Why? 009-1 (To those who don't know, 009-1 is about a femme fatale spy squad called "The Number 9 Group", with all the members being cyborgs. And yes, this was created by Shotaro Ishinomori. I love in-jokes)
While the cyborgs of Nine Number Group were functional and certainly more than sufficient, they were relatively simple and slightly crude.
By the time of 1977, Interpol's special task-force ISSIS formed J.A.K.Q. Blitzkrieg Squad, which had all of it's members undergo cyborg enhancements as well.
The enchancements also came with protective suits that could be accessed through an external chamber which sprayed each member with particles that could make them transform.
While the technology is slightly better, they still required the person's original body be above-average in order to survive.
However, the Shocker meanwhile have already perfected the cybernetic technology, partially thanks for having Dr. Shinigami on board.
Above-average body physique for Shocker's cyborgs became optional (though, it was still preferable) and the transformation process between their "masked forms" and their civilian forms was much more efficient and time-saving and didn't need the Enhancing Capsule like J.A.K.Q.
2. Dairanger and Gekiranger
The GekiJyuken Beast Arts were actually developed during the war between Gorma and Dai, to help the Dai-tribe increase their Qi so they could control Mythical Qi Beasts to help them.
This is partially why the Three Fist Demons wish to use hatred and suffering as their source of power, since war required desperate measures and of course during a war there a bound to be hate and suffering, thus giving them a better chance at controlling the Mythical Qi Beasts.
Obviously the other seven Fist Sages didn't wish to harness their power through such, thus they fought and sealed the Fist Demons.
During or after that they taught five Dai Warriors the way to increase their Qi, and thus gaining control of the Mythical Beasts and giving birth to Gosei Sentai Dairanger.
Now I know what you are thinking: What about the White Tiger Ranger and the Thunder Megazords? Doesn't that kind of create a paradox?
Well, there's a simple solution for this: Zordon based the original Megazords on ancient animals of Earth, so it's not that big of a stretch to assume that Zordon also based the Thunder Megazord and the White Ranger on Earth's ancient mythology.
And there we go.
3. Grongis
One idea I had was that Grongis in this are actually descendants of a seed(seeds?) of Agito, explaining why they can become what they are and why the Lords/Undeads are against them. Also explains why Kuuga looks so much like Agito.
4. Kamen Rider J
J is a mutated Ultraman. There.
