After unveiling some of the upcoming tie-in action figures and Zords at Toy Fair this week [see here and here], Hasbro and Nickelodeon have announced that the iconic, long-standing Power Rangers franchise is returning with an all-new television series Power Rangers Beast Morphers this March.
In this brand new season of Power Rangers, the Rangers are sporting tactical leather suits with their ‘Beast Bot’ sidekicks and elevated battle footage with an all-new cast of dynamic heroes, evil villains and imagination defying monsters.
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!
