So, Ghost Busters is supposed to be a bounty hunting season, the current rumors state.

[Yui and Retsu]

So, compiling information, this is what it seems to be currently rumored for the Gosei PR, based on analysis of the Professor and Pink Ranger casting sides, along with knowledge of Tzachor as a person.

Courtesy of Cmdr. Crayfish of Rangercrew. If you don't know the Commander, well, he knows people on the show and stuff. He knows what he's talking about.

Tzachor loved Megaranger; he never got to "adapt" it, and is upset over that, apparently, even though In Space saved the franchise.

A new copyright is for "Power Rangers Megaforce"; vague, but whatever. Possibly a placeholder.

The casting side for the Professor has the Blue Ranger cameo for a few lines. High school or college class. Professor seems to not be Amachi, but that sort of character none the less.

Megaranger was set in high school.

This is in school. Recapture of MMPR vibe, better than Samurai.

Tzachor wants to adapt Megaranger.

According to the Commander, this may very well mean we aren't getting a Gosei rip. Rather, Gosei footage with an MMPR-vibe using Megaranger scripts.

Well...it's not a Gosei rip at least. It's...original. In a sense.

Hmmmmm, sounds interesting.

Fourze second Rider rumors:

-2nd Rider is named Kamen Rider Sagu

-Powers come from the Sagittarius Zodiarts. The Zodiarts Switch is converted into the 41st Astro Switch

-The armor is all blue, including the eyes. The left eye divided, and the division makes for a sort of "3rd eye"

-Belt has a bow-and-arrow motif

-Belt works like GokaiSilver's GokaiCellular, scanning the switches. The arrow on the belt is the symbol for Mars, the circle of the arrow is pulled up on using your finger to transform, causing the arrow to slide over the Switch, scanning it.

-Belt works with Sagu's personal weapon

[Fallen Rangers]

What happened to that Kamen Rider Meteor name people were throwing around before?

[Yui and Retsu]

Probably was nothing.

But then again, Ixa was rumored as "Hunter" or something, and Diend as "Crisis".

[Suzie Miyazaki]

Kamen Rider Crisis sounds damn cool ...

Teamup news for RPM/Samurai:

News from one of my sources:
* The Red Ranger will help the Samurai team defeat a Doctor villain.
* The Samurai cast are hardly shown.
* The Red Ranger doesn't de-morph.

My thoughts:
This information reminds me of my first assumption of a Red Ranger suit-only teamup. As for the Doctor villain, it hasn't been confirmed whether it is intended to be Doctor K or a doctor-like villain. It sounds like the teamup is heavily based on the Sentai morphed footage with minimal unmorphed scenes. It may be possible that the other RPM Rangers (suit-only) show up at the end for a brief battle. As for the Red Ranger, we don't whether Eka will be doing the voice.

I watched Shinkenger but didn't see the teamup movie, so my knowledge in regards to the Sentai version of this teamup is rather lacking.

I am still waiting confirmation from my other sources. As always, enjoy the information and always take it with a grain of salt.

[Tamiko Ohayashi]

Suit only? Isn't that the reason everyone hated Sam/ Omega Ranger? Surely we've learned that we need real people too!

[Hoji]

They tried getting people back; they wouldn't come back.

And that was because they tried to just write around Omega, making him awkward. I think that's the main reason for his hate.

[Nago Baudelaire/Hikaru Kagawa]

-Gokaiger VS Gavan has been confirmed, Gobusters are likely to show up in the film, as their debut

-The Gobusters' henshin device is known as the "Mission Paneler" When the "Change Panel" is pushed, the Gobusters suits appear!

-The Gobusters are composed of GobusRed, GobusBlue, GobusYellow, GobusGreen, and GobusWhite. Based on previous info, Green and White may join a little after, or be the rumored "partners" of the main team.

[Kengo Utahoshi/Yuuki Jojima]

More, for Megamax.

-Instead of three part it is a five part movie. Introduction, OOO, bridge story (7 Riders vs Foundation X), Fourze, Movie War.
-After meteors crash on Earth. KR Poseidon appears who has core medals. KR Poseidon comes from the future and his target is Eiji. He wipes out the Ridevender squad.
-Anhk returns
-Foundation X has among its ranks Masquerade Dopants, Yummies and Zodiarts switchers.
-Gentaro and KRC club set up a KR exhibit for the culture fest. They are attacked.
-The mysterious KR Nadshiko appears. Who has two armed Rockets.

It was mentioned the Kamen Riders in the Fourze site are still fighting around the world. And has the status of Urban Legends. But we get now a possible common enemy why they are active. They are fighting Foundation X. We see Foundation X funding evil organizations and co-opting their monster devices. They are a shadow group unseen for the most part. But it seems other Riders took up the slack fighting them while current riders fight their current enemies.

[Dillon and Tenaya]

Well there goes my hope for anything good coming out of Samurai. At least Gokaiger and Fourze bring good news.

[Yui and Retsu]

I gave up hopes on Samurai after about three episodes.

[The Caretakers]

I was holding out hope for a halfway decent RPM team up.
