This was my thought, as well. I wonder if this is gonna be one of those sentai that has like 8-10 rangers by the end of the series, like Kyoryuger or Magiranger.

If Dadranger doesn't end up being a thing I'm going to...something suitably appropriate for a toxx I guess.

Chroma Squad, the toku tactical RPG-tycoon of sorts has 'shipped' to backers, and it's coming out officially on Thursday. :toot:

VV: Have just finished the tutorial, but I don't think I will regret the 10 euros (I think) I spent on it, especially when I see what the Rider "DLC" will be. Wouldn't mind higher-fidelity graphics, but that might just be me being spoilt by Shovel Knight :v:

It's also pretty decent! I don't know what they're charging for it, but it's worth ~$20, I would say.

Why did 50 randomly detransform in this episode between the start and the middle portion when he shows up again? It doesn't usually seem to happen; like it happened in like episode 8 and hasn't happened since.

Also I like how Even as he was preparing to transform Chase just kept shooting the Roidmudes, and I totally called it being some additionally reason as to why Go was so insistent on dealing with the Roidmudes, all of them.

That was a plot bombshell that seemed a bit out o the blue, but at least we know why Gou was so insistent on killing all Roidmudes for the past few episodes. Of course, A: Does Kiriko know and B: What's Gou running out of time for since that still hasn't been explained. This also seems like a good time for Gou to get an upgrade of sorts, but alas, it doesn't seem like it'll happen.

I feel like the Gou "running out of time" thing ties in to the Roidmude "promised day" thing they mentioned way back but never really elaborated on.

If that is the case they'll probably talk about it soon-ish.

There's also a plotline about their former director accusing them of stealing his ideas and attempting to sue them and repeated subtle references to the fact he is greedy and an rear end in a top hat for trying to claim that their work is stolen from his.

I remember way back when, I was in a short-lived FATE game with the concept of "SA Sentai Awfulrangers", and I made an audio for the transformation sound.

I considered a goon theme before the game came out, with the name "Hidoi Sentai Goonranger."

Okay, well, I changed my name halfway through the game, because it was the fourth season, we had to change out the team power.

The original team was Iro Sentai Chromager, who used their Chou Chou Dai-Mech-Oh to fight against evil. Their transformation call was "Henshin a-go-go, baby!", and were basically as generic as I could get.

The team after they discovered and harnessed the power of the Bug Crystal was Stunt Sentai Bugman, with their Chou Bugking Z mecha. The transformation call remained the same, because Viewtiful Joe is wonderful.

Literally my only problem with Chroma Squad (as far as I am) is that the dialogue is so very obviously "english as a second language." Which isn't crippling but I do wish they'd gotten someone to go over the script a little since it makes some of the jokes fall flat.

I also enjoy seeing my #GGer cousin flip the gently caress out over the boy/girl capture mission but that is unrelated.

You can change the colors of all of the rangers, and the suits change depending on what armor you equip. So it's a choice between giving them a 100% chance to counter everything or making them look like Rider Sentai Ryukiman.
