The Story: " The Phantom Beasts have been brought back to life. Dai Shi has them prove their loyalty by capturing the three masters. The Phantom Beasts capture the masters and use the masters to create the Spirit Rangers.

The Phantom Beasts control the masters and call forth the Spirit Rangers. They look and fight exactly like Power Rangers. Our heroes are in for a real fight as they face the spirits of their own masters. RJ makes a device that will momentarily stop the Spirit Rangers. But he knows that something more has to be done in order to save his dad and the other masters.

The Spirit Rangers could be the end of our heroes if something isn't done. RJ takes the risk of destroying his father. Trusting his instincts, he finds that his dad was prepared if this should happen. Together with the help of his dad, RJ saves the other Masters from the grip of evil."

The Story: "For over ten thousand years, a spirit of pure evil, Dai Shi has been locked away and safely guarded by the secretive Kung Fu clan, Pai Zhuq, “Order of the Claw.” But now, evil has escaped and the Pai Zhuq must select their three top members to fight this evil. Once selected, the three Kung Fu warriors are given the special gift of becoming Power Rangers, and are the Earth’s only hope to stop the army of evil animal spirits from overtaking the human world.

The Red Ranger's new Battilizer as seen in 2007's Power Rangers Operation Overdrive has been revealed through a Japanese tokusatsu publication. The new armor seems to incorporate the Guardian Knight design, in the same way that the SPD and Mystic Force Battilizer armors incorporated RIC and Fire Heart. The only difference between these Battilizer is that the Guardian Knight seems to be a fully sentient supporting character. More information will be revealed later in the year.

Like last years Mystic Force theme, the new song features pop rap-esque vocals with a techno style music track.

You can download the new Power Rangers Operation Overdrive theme tune here.

The lyrics are as follows:

Go Rangers Go Rangers, GO! GO! GO!
Go Rangers Go Rangers, GO! GO! GO!
Pow-er Ran-gers, Operation Overdrive!
Pow-er Ran-gers, Operation Overdrive!

Watch five fingers reaching for the sky in five ways,
Five heroes walking through the sun for five days,
Dark forces lurking, leaving evil where they roam
Five Rangers lookin for the same five stones!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

There's treasures to be found, there's some lives to be saved,
Our planet to look after, there's a whole lot of space!
Good vs Evil, we got heroes on the scene,
Power Rangers Overdrive is the number one team!

Pow-er Ran-gers, Operation Overdrive!
Pow-er Ran-gers, Operation Oooh-verdrive!

The former musical maestro of Power Rangers, Ron Wasserman, has informed us that he has been made aware of an all new animated Power Rangers cartoon series in development. At the moment, a two-minute promo is being prepared with a view to a full series, but no other information is known. Some fans speculate that this might even be the rumoured "Power Rangers Super Legends", after the mysterious URL that links back to the Jetix homepage. An animated series would certainly be a cost effective measure for Disney, who moved the enitre Power Rangers production to New Zealand in 2002 in order to cut costs. However, even if the new animated venture was to be given the green light, we at the Retrocenter very much doubt that it would be the end of live-action Power Rangers. Whatver happens, we'll keep you posted!

The date of ABC Kids premiere of 2007's PR incarnation, "Power Rangers Operation Overdrive" has been announced as March 3rd. This date is most likely the lastest possible premiere date that can be expected in the US, as it is much more likely that Toon Disney will sitck with PR tradition, and premiere the new show some time in February. If this were indeed the first showing of PROO, then many questions will be raised as to just how many episodes are being produced this year, following PR's all-time low of 32 episodes for Power Rangers Mystic Force.

The official Jetix site for PR's 2007 incarnation, "Power Rangers Operation Overdrive" has now gone online. The mini-site includes such sparse information as brief Ranger profiles, and a mini-teaser video for the new season.
