Power Rangers: Everything We Know About 'Beast Morphers'
Power Rangers Beast Morphers is right around the corner, and we're here to get you up to speed on [...]
Sentai Beginnings
For those unfamiliar with Power Rangers' origins, the series is based upon TOEI's Super Sentai series, using pieces of the Japanese show's footage and implementing it with new actors and storylines to make it one of the most unique combinations around.
Beast Morphers specifically will be adapted from the series Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, which is the 36th season of Super Sentai. The latest season of Power Rangers, Ninja Steel, was actually based on the 39th season Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, and many fans thought that the next to be adapted would be season 41, Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. When Saban announced Go-Busters, it was a welcome surprise, and who knows which season of Sentai will be the basis of the next iteration of Power Rangers.

prevnextThe Story
Beast Morphers will revolve around the substance Morph-X, which when combined with animal DNA creates powerful and unique Rangers who can access the Morphin Grid. The new crew of Rangers will have their hands full defending the Grid though from a new enemy named Evox, and you can check out the full synopsis for the show below:
"Set in the future, a secret agency combines a newly discovered substance called 'Morph-X' with animal DNA to create the Power Rangers Beast Morphers team. The Rangers must fight off an evil sentient computer virus bent on taking over the source of all Ranger power, the Morphin Grid itself. Featuring never-before-seen leather suits and an all-new beast-themed arsenal (including dynamic new Zords), fans should get ready for a season full of secret ops and morphinominal fun."

Speaking of the trailer, if you haven't seen the first look at the series...well, what are you waiting for?
In the first-look footage, we had a chance to not only see the Beast Bots and Megazord in action, but we also got a look at the Rangers taking on the Tronics and that fantastic looking Morph, with swirling tornadoes surrounding the Rangers as their chosen animal roars to life. Pretty dang impressive, so make sure to give it a watch above.
prevnextEpisode Descriptions
We also have official descriptions for the first two episodes, highlighting that the protection of the Grid is first and foremost so that the Rangers can keep it out of hands who would utilize it for evil.
Episode 1: Beasts Unleashed (via No Pink Spandex)
"Scientists tap into the Morphin Grid, but an evil virus corrupts the technology and a new team of Power Rangers is formed to defend the Grid from evil."
Episode 2: (via Morphin Legacy)
"When Grid Battleforce's Commander needs to select a leader for the team, the Power Rangers are at odds over who should get the job."
prevnextZords, Vehicles, and Allies
The Rangers will have a bevy of tools and weapons at their disposal, including a new fleet of vehicles to command and robotic allies called Beast Bots by their side. The Beast Bots are themed after animals and can fight alongside the team in their base mode or can combine with Buster Vehicles to form several more modes, including various vehicles, animals based modes, and full mecha modes.
You can find a list of the ones we've already seen below.

Smash - Gorilla/Blue Ranger Beast Bot
Jax - Jackrabbit/Yellow Ranger Beast Bot
Beast-X Megazord

prevnextVillains
So far we know who the main villain is as well as some of its allies. The main baddie this season will be Evox, the sentient computer virus that wants to take over the Morphin Grid. Helping Evox will be Roxy (Liana Ramirez) and Blaze (Colby Strong).
Will one of these villains end up becoming good in the end? Who knows, but you can check out all three in the image above.
