I wonder if the non-human rangers get human forms like 4 of the Zyuohgers

Just out of ideas at this point, aren't they? Love the outfits, though.

This is the first space-themed sentai series in the franchise's 41-year history*, the first with a starting lineup of nine heroes, and the first in which the bad guys have already won at the start and the heroes form a resistance rather than trying to keep the peace.

But yeah, other than that, totally out of ideas, bro.

*(before you mention it, Megaranger, the basis for Power Rangers in space, was actually themed around technology, not space.)

Wasn't Gokaiger technically spaced themed?

Looking at the leaked scans of the morphing devices and mecha, I'm a bit disappointed with the mecha combinations (that's been my complaint with the last few series, huge blocks. . .) but the morphing devices are highly reminiscent of KR Meteor from Fourze.

Negativity aside, being a space geek, I may find myself getting back into Super Sentai -- the last series I watched to completion was Shinkenger and I really enjoyed that run. But I'm really loving the suit designs!

the Gokaigers came from space yes but they were barely in Space in the series and was more of a pirate theme show

I don't think I've seen an orange ranger aside from that one episode of Power Rangers SPD.

Damn the suits blow the stupid animal design steam on print suits in the current series. I haven't seen the zords yet but I am pretty confident they will be better then the Megablock Megazord they got going on.

<Update> Just saw the leaked image of the "main" megazord, only guessing but a combination of red, blue, yellow, black, and green seems to be the main five. It looks pretty bad like at least worst ten if not worst five megazords of all time. I was at least right it is definitely better then the megablock megazord. Yet is that really a complement when I say you are at least better then dog shit.

Also I love the constellation theme they are going for. A really interesting concept never done before better then another animal, dinosaur, or car themed series,

Wouldn't a franchise running out of ideas be defined as reusing a concept they've done before, or a remake/reboot?

Love the suits, and having tons of rangers is always great and part of what made Kyoryuger so fun. Need to see more of the Voyagers , but they look cool so far.

I love the suits, the only problem I have with them are the orange ranger tail, the pink ranger wings, the yellow ranger visor and the green ranger lizard eyes. Other than that, they are the best design suit since Kyoryuger.

I hope the story will be good too, since I hadn't like a super sentai since Kyoryuger.

Battle Cossack in Battle Fever J
Orange Lily of the evil Flowery Kunoichi Team in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger
DekaSwan (Kat Ranger) of Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger (SPD), though she has no official color, and her outfit is both white and orange
ToQ 6go in Ressha Sentai ToQger

It's rare, but it's not the first, for Sentai, at least.

Don't forgot that "Lost Galaxy" was also space-themed, even though a lot of it was inside a space colony.

Space was more of a setting then a theme in Lost Galaxy. The theme of the rangers was more alien animal theme. In Space was definitely space themed with their megazords, their abilities, their weapons, even the suits with the computer screen on the helmet foreheads that showed their weapons. Like if you cropped out space from the bubble of Terra Venture and made it blue skies like Earth you would most likely have no idea it was set in Space.
