Legendary Ranger Modes

This article is about a set of events in Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Legendary Ranger Mode, or simply Legendary Mode refers to the ability of the Super Mega Rangers to morph into Historic Rangers, via the Legendary Ranger Keys and the Legendary Morphers. They can also use this mode to access new Ranger forms never before seen on Earth.

Individual Modes by Episode/Special

Super Megaforce (episode)

Legendary Ranger Modes for Super Megaforce (Episode):
- Super Megaforce Red - Red Samurai Ranger (x2), Red Mystic Ranger, S.P.D. Red Ranger, Red Wind Ranger
- Super Megaforce Blue - Blue Samurai Ranger, Blue Mystic Ranger (male version), S.P.D. Blue Ranger, Blue Wind Ranger (male version), Red Wild Force Ranger
- Super Megaforce Yellow - Yellow Samurai Ranger, Yellow Mystic Ranger (female version), S.P.D. Yellow Ranger, Yellow Wind Ranger (female version), Red Mystic Ranger (female version)

- Super Megaforce Pink - Pink Samurai Ranger, Pink Mystic Ranger, S.P.D. Pink Ranger, Navy Thunder Ranger (female version), Jungle Fury Red Ranger (female version)
The first ever Legendary Ranger Mode was Samurai, the first team of the Neo-Saban era.
- Coincidentally, both the Megaforce team and the Samurai team have a Super Mega mode.
- Also, the Samurai team is the first PR team in existence in-universe, beginning centuries ago.
With the exception of Red Samurai Ranger, the all-Red Change here is composed of all Disney-era Legendary Rangers.
Jake's transformation is Red Overdrive Ranger, the Red Ranger from the last anniversary series before Megaforce. This is a departure from the source material which instead saw Gokai Green transform into Gosei Red.
Noah has already morphed into both of his female counterparts in this episode.
Similar to what happened in the original Gokaiger red change, when fighting Tentacus as Red Rangers, 4 out of 5 of the Super Mega Rangers pair up in 2 groups of 2 based on the similarities of the Rangers they've transformed into before Troy finishes him off as the Red Samurai Ranger.
- Gia and Jake: Immediate predecessor/successor series and projectile weapons.
- Noah and Emma: Jungle Cat theme and hand to hand fighter.

Earth Fights Back

Legendary Ranger Modes for Earth Fights Back:
This is the first episode where the Super Mega Rangers change into a past team even though one of them is absent.
This is the first time Super Megaforce Pink transforms into RPM Black. As a result, this is the first glimpse of a female Black Ranger in all of Power Rangers.
All of the Legendary Ranger Modes for this episode comprise of Rangers who are not known to the public on Earth at that time period.
- Squadron: This team of Rangers was not adapted into a Power Rangers team and was Sentai-exclusive despite the team, Dairangers coming from the source material for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Season 2). Gosei does mention that these Rangers have not yet been seen on Earth. This could mean that they may be Rangers from another world, like the Alien Rangers or the Galaxy Rangers. This is not confirmed.
- S.P.D.: The events of S.P.D. occur in the year 2025, approximately 11 years after the arrival of the Armada.
- Ranger Operators: The events of RPM occur in an alternate universe. Despite that, Gosei and the Rangers still have their Keys for Legendary Mode.

Blue Saber Saga

Legendary Ranger Modes for Blue Saber Saga:
- Super Megaforce Red - Jungle Fury Red Ranger, S.P.D. Red Ranger
- Super Megaforce Blue - N/A

- Super Megaforce Green - Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger, S.P.D. Green Ranger
- Super Megaforce Pink - Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger (female version), S.P.D. Pink Ranger
With this episode, Jake has transformed into both of his non-Green and Black Ranger counterparts at least once, while Emma has transformed into all 3 of her male counterparts at least once.
Much like episode 4 of Gokaiger, both of the Legendary Ranger teams that were used had a Blue Ranger with a typically serious attitude.
- S.P.D.: Schuyler Tate was notable for his by-the-book nature and desire to being the leader of the B-Squad Rangers.
- Jungle Fury: Theo Martin was notable for being intelligent yet arrogant and lacking in teamwork skills.

A Lion's Alliance

Legendary Ranger Modes for A Lion's Alliance:
- Super Megaforce Red - Red Wild Force Ranger (x2)
- Super Megaforce Blue - Black Dino Ranger, Blue Wild Force Ranger (x2)
- Super Megaforce Yellow - Black Alien Ranger (female version), Yellow Wild Force Ranger (skirted version) (x2)
- Super Megaforce Green - Black Wild Force Ranger (x2)
- Super Megaforce Pink - Ranger Operator Series Black (female version), White Wild Force Ranger (x2)
It should be noted that this is the first time Jake transforms into a Legendary Ranger that is his base color: Black. Also, Noah, Gia, and Emma all morphed into Legendary Black Rangers before Jake did.
Gia's morph into the Black Alien Ranger marks the first time a Super Mega Ranger has transformed into a Ranger from the original Saban era of Power Rangers (though Wild Force was produced by MMPR Productions, the franchise was transfered to Disney in its run), as well as the first time a Super Mega Ranger has transformed into a Ranger from the Zordon Era.
Noah's morph into the Black Dino Ranger marks the first time a Super Mega Ranger has transformed into one of Tommy Oliver's ranger forms.
Also, Emma is the only one who morphs into one of her direct counterparts during the Legendary Black Ranger Mode.
This episode marks the first time the Rangers have transformed into an entire past team (minus the Sixth Ranger) twice in the same episode, something which never happened in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. This is as the first Wild Force change was new footage made to replace changes into unadapted Sentai, in addition to the Gaoranger change later on from the original episode.

All Team Legendary Ranger Modes were not only Saban produced teams, but were also the first teams of their respective eras.

- Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: Post-Zordon Era
- Samurai Rangers: Neo-Saban Era
Jake morphs into the first black and the first green regular rangers. Incidentally, both those powers have been used by Adam Park.
- Another coincidence is that Jake (who is the last regular Black Ranger) also morphs into the last regular Green Ranger.
Noah is the only one that didn't use singular Legendary Ranger Modes in this episode.
The Mighty Morphin' Legendary Ranger Mode marks the first time the Super Mega Rangers morphs into all the core members of a team from the first Saban Era.
The appearance of Yellow Mask and Pink Flash marks the first time Sentai Rangers from the Showa Era appear in an episode of Power Rangers.
