History[]

Dino Charge[]

While working on a work assigned by his brother, his pet dog detected something and brought him to a stone. At that time, a wandering Fury spotted the dog and tried to kill him out of annoyance until Riley took a nearby pipe and attacked Fury. The pipe hit the rock and revealed a green Energem where it turned the pipe into a Dino Saber, allowing Riley to gain the upper hand until Fury retreated.

He departed from his farm to the Amber Beach Museum, with his scooter broke in the middle of the journey and offered a ride by Shelby Watkins and Tyler Navarro in his car. They even save a man from his car via their Energems' powers followed by the discovery of an underground lab below the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum which led them to become Power Rangers.

After their confrontation with Iceage, Riley works in the Museum, as well as a Dino Bite Café waiter while having the mantle to become the Green Ranger. Tvicon TV STORY-Past, Present and Fusion

The Evox Snare[]

In the Grid Battleforce base, when Devon Daniels ask for help from Doctor K to try to search a form of device to separate Mayor Daniels from Evox, she reveals one. A few years ago, Doctor K read about how the Dino Charge Rangers including Riley were able to rescue Zenowing from being inside Doomwing thanks to the Split Emitters and that peaks Devon’s interest.

It's unknown why Riley and Shelby didn't come to the main dimension in order to find Keeper alongside their team, but when the Grid Battleforce Rangers left to fight a Gigadrone, and the Dino Charge Rangers were preparing to fight Snide, Tyler called Shelby and Riley to fight alongside them. Just when the team defeated Snide using specials attacks, the newly revived Sledge and his crew appeared. Riley fight against Poisandra, but was defeated and almost destroyed alongside his teammates if it weren't for the Grid Battleforce Rangers appearing at the last second, blasting Sledge's crew and managing to get away after rescuing Keeper. Riley and Shelby came back to their dimension off-screen. Tvicon TV STORY-Finders Keepers

Days after their previous adventure, Goldar Maximus and Snide were attacking the Dino Charge Rangers in their dimension and were after their Energems. Four of the Grid Battleforce Rangers arrived but the villains still managed to steal four of the Energems and defeat both teams of Rangers, while Riley and Shelby retained their powers. 

When both teams were hiding and discussing the villains' plans of making an evil Zord, Jason and Devon arrived, gave the team Morphers and Morph-X powered Dino Chargers to the other four Dino Charge Rangers and decided to split themselves into two teams.

Evox arrives and says that the real fight begins now. Riley witness how Evox is using the geode to summon his newest Zord, the Chimera Zord, he and the other Dino Rangers are attacked by the evil Zord. Koda and Shelby summoned their Zords and Riley joined his team in forming the Dino Charge Megazord, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the Dino Thunder Rangers summoned their respective Zords as well.

Zoey is confident they can handle him before thanking everybody for their help, the teams departed and said goodbye to the Dino Charge Rangers. Tvicon TV STORY-Grid Connection

Personality[]

Riley is quiet, confident and disciplined. At only 17 years old (later 18 years old), he's a bit younger than the other Rangers, but just as fierce. Riley grew up on a ranch, but didn't fit in. There, he practiced his sword skills. Fencing is just one of the unique things about Riley; in addition, he doesn't like to get dirty, he's picky about what he eats, and he's a whiz at anything involving logic, like chess, checkers, and almost any sort of puzzle.

Behind the Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

  • Riley is portrayed by Michael Taber, who happens to have been a fan of Power Rangers since he was young. Taber provided Riley's voice for his appearances in Beast Morphers, as he was preoccupied with work and was unable to reprise the role of Riley on-screen.
  • When Riley and Ivan switched bodies in "Freaky Fightday", Riley was portrayed by Davi Santos.
  • As the Dino Charge Green Ranger, his suit actor was Kosuke Asai (浅井 宏輔 Asai Kōsuke) in Super Sentai footage from Kyoryuger, in U.S./UN footage his suit actor is unknown as of today.

Taber-confirms-gay

Michael Taber's interpretation of Riley’s sexuality

  • In December 2020, Michael Taber, the actor who plays Riley, said in his social networks that he played Riley as gay and stated that he has “a thing for Chase”, although this is not confirmed by either Saban or Hasbro.
  • Early casting sides listed his name as "Ryan". This was changed to Quinn, the name used on one of his toys, possibly because this name was shared with Ryan Mitchell, the Titanium Ranger from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. It was then changed again, for unknown reasons, to Riley.
  • Riley is the final male Green Ranger in the main timeline of Power Rangers.
